Quickstart — VipraGo live in under an hour

This guide takes a brand-new organization from signup to a working VipraGo instance — employees imported, policies set, and VipraBot answering — in roughly an hour.

1 · Create your organization

1. Sign up and name your organization — this creates your isolated tenant.
2. Set your timezone and add office locations (each location can carry its own holiday calendar and attendance rules).
3. Pick your plan: Starter is free during open beta; every plan starts with a 14-day full-feature trial.

2 · Import your team

1. Download the CSV template from Employees → Bulk Import.
2. Fill in name, work email, department, role (admin / manager / member), and reporting manager.
3. Upload — VipraGo validates rows, then emails each person a secure password-setup invitation.
4. Spot-check the org chart that's generated from the manager columns.

3 · Configure core policies

1. Control Center → Policies: set work-hour rules (shift times, grace period, overtime threshold).
2. Attendance → IP Ranges: add office IPs and/or GPS geo-fences if you verify presence.
3. Leave Settings: enable the leave types you use (from 14 available), set quotas and approval chains.
4. Policies cascade org → country → location → department — configure once at the highest sensible level.

4 · Verify with VipraBot

1. Ask VipraBot: “show today's attendance” — confirms attendance wiring.
2. Ask: “what leave types do we have?” — confirms policy resolution.
3. Apply for a test leave from a member account and approve it as manager — confirms the approval chain.

FAQ

How long does setup actually take?

About an hour for a typical SMB: 10 minutes for org creation, 15 for CSV import, 25 for policies, and the rest verifying with test transactions.

Do I need technical staff to set up VipraGo?

No. Setup is wizard-driven with no code or consultants; the only file you handle is the employee CSV.
