Our HR software solutions take a people-centric approach to onboarding and recruitment. We handle the administrative side with sophisticated AI and automation, so you can focus on making all-important connections.
Robust workforce management
Integrate remote work and clocking-in hardware so that TOIL, time and attendance are all fed directly into payroll, improving pay accuracy. Keep scheduling simple, even as you handle complex working patterns across multiple locations.
Use real-time data to plan shifts and accommodate your employees' circumstances. Boost financial wellbeing and give everyone complete certainty over where they're needed and when.
Digital learning solutions
A culture of learning. The key to upskilling, reskilling and empowering your employees to take professional development into their own hands. Our digital learning solutions help to simplify and supercharge the process of learning and development.
Effective talent management
Attract and retain the best minds to stay competitive. Progress through the employee lifecycle with our AI-enabled HR resource management systems, ensuring engagement at every stage. Use real-time data to stay on top of the latest developments and create meaningful relationships. Use sentiment analysis to get a real sense of how your employees are feeling on the grand scale, and summarise any check-in notes to focus on conversations, not administration.
Enhance your employee experience
Put employee experience at the centre of your people strategy. Don't leave it to chance. News feeds, polls, communities, recognitions, AI-enhanced check-ins. Our HR software and its innovative features drive engagement and help create a happier, more productive workforce.

HR software FAQs
-
What processes can be streamlined with HR software?
-
Our HR software streamlines lots of the time-consuming processes that HR teams manage every day. This includes maintaining employee records, managing absence and leave, onboarding new starters, handling workflow approvals, producing reports and supporting employee self-service.
People First brings these HR processes together into a single system, along with payroll, finance, learning and workforce management, so organisations can run more efficiently.
-
What types of organisations is your HR software for?
-
Our HR software can be used by organisations of all sizes, but the greatest value is often realised by medium-sized and enterprise organisations managing larger workforces and complex HR processes.
Our customers span a wide range of sectors including healthcare, education, retail, manufacturing, local government and professional services. See our customers page to learn more.
-
What's the benefit of an integrated HR platform?
-
HR software can be used as a standalone solution to manage employee data, automate processes and support day-to-day HR activities. However, many organisations achieve greater value when HR is connected to other workforce systems.
People First is an integrated HR platform that brings together HR, Payroll, Workforce Management, Talent Management, Learning and Analytics in a single solution. This creates a single source of truth for employee data and improves efficiency and performance across the workforce. It's a modular platform, so you can integrate the modules that your organisation needs.
-
How long does it take to implement?
-
Implementation timelines depend on the size and complexity of your organisation, the systems being replaced and the scope of your project.
Our team will work closely with yours during the implementation process, to ensure a smooth transition and support user adoption so you can realise the value from our HR software as quickly as possible.
-
Will our data be secure?
-
Yes. Our HR software includes security features such as Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls to help ensure sensitive employee information is only accessible to authorised users.
We are independently audited and accredited to AICPA SOC 2, Cyber Essentials Plus, and ISO/IEC 27001, so HR teams can rest easy knowing that our systems are strongly protected with People First and iTrent. See our security and compliance page to learn more.
-
Does HR software include payroll management?
-
Yes. If you want to manage everything in one place, our HR software can be combined with real-time payroll to create a single platform for managing your people and pay processes.
We also offer managed payroll services for organisations that want to partly or fully outsource the payroll process to our team of experts.
