Mekari Talenta generates revenue primarily through subscription-based SaaS contracts priced per employee and module, supplemented by implementation and consulting services, payroll outsourcing services, and hardware sales (Talenta Portal devices). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, inside sales for mid-market, self-serve free trials for UMKM and SMB, and a partner/reseller network including banking partners UOB and Bank Raya.
