If your current HR tech stack could talk, what would it say?
If it is anything like the legacy systems haunting most mid to large-sized organisations, it is probably muttering something about disconnected data, missing attachments, and endless manual typing.
At Gecko HRM, we believe your software should actively reduce your cognitive load, not add to it. That is why our March 2026 product release (Version 1.364, for those keeping score at home) focuses on slashing administrative friction. We are making forms smarter, data entry automated, and template-based document creation vastly more flexible.
Let us dive into the updates that will make your daily HR operations feel a lot more like a breeze and a lot less like a chore.
1. File Uploads on New Forms: The End of the “Missing Attachment” Email Chase
How do file uploads on new forms reduce admin work?
We have all been there. An employee submits a reimbursement request, a training claim, or an updated certification, only for you to realise they forgot to attach the actual document. Cue a chain of polite but time-consuming follow-up emails.
With our latest update, forms in Gecko just became immensely more practical. Users can now upload files directly as part of the initial form submission.
- All-in-One Submission: Attach contracts, certificates, or supporting evidence directly to a form before hitting submit.
- Bulk Uploading: No need to merge documents; upload multiple files simultaneously in a single step.
- Enforced Compliance: Set required document fields so users cannot submit a form without the necessary paperwork.
- Automatic Linking: Uploaded files instantly link to the newly created record, ensuring clean, auditable data from day one.
2. AI-Powered Form Autofill: Let Gecko Do the Reading
How does AI-powered form autofill work in Gecko?
Uploading documents is a great start, but having to manually read those documents and copy the information into form fields is still a tedious task.

Now, Gecko AI takes the baton. When a document is uploaded, our system reads the file and automatically populates the form fields for you in seconds. By combining Salesforce Agentforce technology with simple field instructions, you can effortlessly guide the AI to extract exactly what you need.
- Instant Data Extraction: Extract key data from PDFs, scanned images, or text files without manual typing.
- Human Error Reduction: Eliminate the inevitable typos that creep in during repetitive data entry.
- Accelerated Submissions: Speed up complex, document-heavy form workflows for both employees and HR managers.
3. EDocuments: Next-Level Flexibility for Digital Signing and Templates
How do EDocuments improve digital signing and templates?
Managing employment contracts, non-disclosure agreements, and policy sign-offs across multiple departments or regions can quickly become a template management nightmare.
Previously, creating template-based EDocuments required a separate upload and setup process for every single file variation. This release introduces the Document Template Configuration record, giving HR admins unparalleled control over individual use cases while keeping core rules completely reusable.

The system beautifully separates your setup into two logical layers: a reusable EDocument Template for shared visibility rules, and a Configuration record for document-specific behaviors (like titles, descriptions, and signer rows).
- Centralised Rules, Local Control: Keep shared organizational compliance rules in one place, but manage document-specific behaviors directly on the configuration record.
- Direct Template Uploads: Attach the base template file directly to the configuration record.
- Dynamic Signing Flows: Create general signing setups that work across multiple parent objects, or tie highly specific setups to a single object (enabling smart, Employee-based signer configurations).
HR excellence is built on micro-efficiencies. By removing the small, repetitive friction points, like manual data entry and disjointed template setup, we empower HR professionals to focus their energy on people, strategy, and compliance leadershi
