The HR platform that works for you, not the other way around

One of the elite 8% of HR solutions offering live AI functionality, according to Fosway.

PeopleXD supports day‑to‑day work across payroll, scheduling, absence and talent, with Access Evo sitting across every module and working from your own live data.

It integrates with third-party systems, automates tasks that follow clear rules, flags workforce patterns before they become problems, and surfaces what needs attention, so large HR teams can work more efficiently across payroll, knowledge and daily admin, where: 

  • Payroll exceptions are flagged, salary letters drafted, and the HR inbox actioned overnight, with nothing committed until you say 
  • Your best HR and payroll knowledge is available to everyone, minus the bottleneck 
  • Overtime trends, pay variance and retention risks are surfaced from your own data  
  • Every approval, query and action from across your HCM suite is ready before you look for them

 

One capability makes this possible everywhere at once. Quick Asks answers HR, pay, and schedule questions in everyday language, from any device, and does the next step. This means managers and HR teams complete actions without leaving their existing workflows, and spend the time saved on their people.

What does HR software cost for large businesses? 

The cost of HR software will vary significantly for large and enterprise businesses due to increased complexity of requirements. Pricing is usually based on factors including employee numbers and the combination of modules, as different organisations will require different levels of functionality.
 
Costs also reflect implementation complexity. Integrating with existing systems, supporting multiple user roles, and meeting security or compliance requirements all influence overall investment. As a result, an HR software solution for larger organisations is commonly priced through tailored agreements rather than fixed packages, allowing the platform to align with operational and regulatory needs.

HR software FAQs 

What is human resources software?

Human resources software is a digital platform used to manage employee information, payroll, recruitment, workforce planning, performance management, learning and reporting. Modern human resources software combines multiple HR functions into a single system, helping organisations improve efficiency, compliance and employee experience.

How do HR and payroll work together?

As two critical departments in any organisation, it’s important that HR and payroll functions work together effectively. Key business tasks like ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time, employee benefits and deductions are correctly administered and tax, and other legal and compliance requirements are met, all require HR and payroll to work together in tandem.

Integrated HR and payroll software like PeopleXD can help larger departments or those with more complex requirements, to automate joint HR and payroll tasks. Using technology to help manage the seamless flow of data between the two functions also helps reduce time-consuming admin, ensure consistent employee record keeping and reduces business risk and chances of error when personal data is shared.

What does HR software do?

HR software is used by human resource departments to automate and streamline tasks and processes. It’s digital, providing analytics and insights for businesses as well as tools and resources for employees. Many integral processes can be streamlined using online HR systems, including recruitment, people management, absence management and compliance. 

How to choose the right HR software for your business?

When choosing HR software for your business, consider the provider’s level of experience and customer support. Look for integrated solutions that are powerful enough to simplify complex tasks and consider a solution that is appropriate for the size of your business, with the ability to scale to your needs as you grow. This will save you time and money and ensure your investment is future-proofed. 

What are the benefits of HR management software?

A HRMS can help you: 

  • Streamline your HR tasks, automate manual processes and have everything you need joined up, in one place.  
  • Empower your people with self-service and mobile apps, which removes bottlenecks, reduces queries and eliminates frustration, adding to your employee experience.
  • Increase productivity and drive engagement, helping you build a culture of fulfilment, achievement and belonging which reduces employee churn.
  • Build a future-ready workforce: Attract, develop and retain your talent.
  • Improve data visibility with HR analytics tools that allow you to make informed, data-driven decisions.

What support do I get with HR software?
