Flex Launches "Flex Mini" for Six Million Small Business Owners

One-Stop Integration of Contracts, Attendance, and Payroll

Flex, an HR-based artificial intelligence (AI) platform, announced on the 26th that it has launched "Flex Mini," a mobile employee management app designed for small business owners and self-employed individuals.

Flex Mini is an app that streamlines the complex employee management tasks of SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) stores such as restaurants, cafes, and retail shops, all from the palm of your hand. The app focuses on resolving inaccurate and inefficient manual management, as well as complicated labor and tax law risks, thereby enabling data-driven management and digital transformation (DX) for small business owners and self-employed individuals. Employment contracts, attendance records, and payroll calculations are all integrated into a one-stop solution, allowing business owners to manage every process within Flex Mini.

The core feature is the "prevention of mistakes and conflicts that arise because we are human." By using GPS-based attendance records, the app automatically calculates complicated payroll items such as weekly holiday allowances and night or overtime pay, helping to prevent unnecessary emotional labor between employers and employees.

To address the chronic concerns of small business owners regarding dispute prevention and compliance, the app also includes a customized guide to the Labor Standards Act based on the number of regular employees. At each stage-drafting employment contracts, recording attendance, calculating payroll, and preparing pay statements-the app provides tailored guidance on the legal obligations business owners must fulfill. Additionally, business owners can manage the operational status of multiple stores through a single app, and employees working multiple part-time jobs (N-jobbers) can conveniently manage their work schedules and pay in one place.

With this launch, Flex plans to go beyond digital transformation (DX) for small business owners and support full-scale artificial intelligence transformation (AX). Future updates will introduce an automatic scheduling feature using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology, which will convert photos of work schedules written on blackboards, ledgers, or Excel sheets into in-app schedules. The company also plans to add an HR legal consulting AI agent, enabling users to ask and receive answers from AI regarding complex labor and tax law issues.

Flex CEO Jang Haenam stated, "We aim for Flex Mini to become an essential AX partner for small business owners and a key asset for building trust between employers and employees," adding, "Six million small business owners will soon have a data-driven management foundation comparable to that of any large company."
