Platform overview
Learn how the different parts of Datar work together to help you and your team get things done.
What is Datar?
Datar is an all-in-one platform that helps organizations manage their daily operations. Instead of using separate tools for expense reports, project tracking, HR tasks, and file sharing, Datar brings everything together in one place.
The platform is organized into modules — each one handles a specific area of your work. All modules are connected, so information flows seamlessly between them.
Platform modules
Each module handles a specific area of your work
- Submit and track requests for expenses, supplies, time-off, and more. Managers can review and approve or reject requests.
- Plan and manage projects with boards, tasks, sprints, and team collaboration. Track progress from start to finish.
- Manage timesheets, leave requests, performance reviews, hiring, and employee profiles.
- Upload, organize, and share documents. Create folders, star favorites, and control who can access your files.
- Track items, monitor stock levels, organize by category, and manage storage locations.
- Manage the purchasing process from tenders and bids through purchase orders and budget tracking.
How modules work together
Information flows between modules automatically
Requests + Inventory
When you submit a supply request and it gets approved, the inventory is automatically updated. No need to manually adjust stock levels.
People + Requests
Time-off requests submitted through the People module are routed through the approval workflow automatically. Your leave balance updates when approved.
Projects + People
Log your hours directly against project tasks. Timesheets connect to the projects you are working on for accurate tracking.
Procurement + Inventory
Purchase orders from procurement can automatically update inventory when goods are received.

Commenter
Can view and add comments, but cannot edit.
Editor
Can view, comment, and make changes to the item.
Admin
Can do everything an Editor can, plus manage who else has access.
