Why we built Optserv instead of stitching together five HR tools

Jeriel Isaiah Layantara
CEO & Founder of Round Bytes

The honest origin of Optserv is that Round Bytes ran out of patience with paying for five tools to run one workflow.
Hiring lived in one ATS. Employee records in a different HRMS. Shared credentials in a 1Password vault that nobody pruned. Offboarding was a Slack thread that ended in "did anyone remember to remove them from the Stripe dashboard?", usually a week later.
The thing that finally tipped us over was offboarding. Every time someone moved on, there was always some loose thread three weeks later, an old Slack invite, a Figma seat, a database dashboard credential someone forgot. Most HR tools handle the file. Almost none handle the access.
So we built Optserv around the lifecycle, not around the file. Hiring pipeline, HRMS, attendance and leave, contract generation, and an Account Vault that revokes shared credentials at the moment HR closes the offboarding flow. One platform, one source of truth, one button.
The first version ran internally at Round Bytes for six months before we let anyone else touch it. We hired through it. We onboarded through it. We offboarded through it, and finally stopped finding two-month-old access leaks. By the time we invited the first external team, we had lived in the product long enough to know every seam.
Now we're opening it up. Community plan is free up to 15 employees. Business is $8 per member. Try Optserv →
