Access PeopleXD Evo
Stop managing your people across disconnected HR software. Access PeopleXD Evo brings everything together - people management, talent, workforce, pay, benefits and learning.
• One platform, one login across the entire employee lifecycle
• AI embedded in your workflows, not bolted on
• Consumer-grade experience that guides your day
Enterprise capability without enterprise complexity. AI-powered intelligence replaces disconnected systems.
HR software brings essential people management tasks into one intelligent platform. It supports day‑to‑day HR processes such as managing employee records, onboarding, absence tracking, time and attendance, and payroll-related data. You may also see HR software referred to as Human Capital Management (HCM), Human Resources Management Systems (HRMS), or Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS).
By replacing manual processes with a single, secure platform, HR software helps teams manage employee information more consistently and efficiently. This makes it easier to maintain accurate records, support employees throughout their lifecycle, and spend more time on strategic HR work rather than administration.
As HR software evolves, AI is often introduced as a separate feature or module. Access PeopleXD Evo is built on a native AI architecture rather than a legacy platform with AI added later. Access Evo acts as the shared intelligence layer across payroll, scheduling, absence, and talent, with every module drawing from the same data and models. The platform is built on Microsoft Azure and governed to ISO 42001 standards, providing a consistent and controlled foundation for AI‑enabled HR workflows.
Our HR software combines the core HR capabilities needed for large, growing and complex organisations need to manage, pay, engage and develop their workforce at scale and in one place.

HR software should support day‑to‑day work, automate processes, store employee data, ultimately helping HR teams work more efficiently, identify workforce trends, and support informed decisions using the data they already manage.
Access PeopleXD Evo applies intelligence directly within core HR workflows. Predictive insights, intelligent automation, and proactive prompts are built into areas such as payroll, scheduling, absence, and talent.
Tasks that follow clear rules can be automated, while workforce patterns are identified using live system data and potential issues can be flagged earlier. All of this intelligence is delivered through Access Evo, the shared AI intelligence layer that sits underneath every module.
Quick Asks answers HR, pay, and schedule questions in plain English, from any device, without opening a ticket. It helps managers and HR teams find information and complete actions within their existing workflows.

“We’ve been able to automate tasks, meaning we’ve been able to free up capability to reallocate 1 FTE to more value-add activity.”
“A task that took six hours to write a roster now takes less than 60 minutes. It’s not often we get to hand back five hours to every senior manager every week.”
“Automation of repetitive tasks, such as sending notifications and managing documents, has freed up valuable time and significantly boosted productivity.”
“We went from having numerous different solutions, to bringing everything together under one umbrella. We instantly saw the benefit of this, with everything available via a single sign-on. This has eradicated the need to source data from different places, providing us with better reporting."
Fast, pain-free go-live. Guided automation and proven processes combined with deep HR knowledge turn complex transitions into confident launches.

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 can all influence overall investment. As a result, HR software for larger organisations is commonly priced through tailored agreements rather than fixed packages, allowing the platform to align with operational and regulatory needs.

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.
HR software pricing can vary widely, especially at enterprise level. If you're looking for a full breakdown, read our guide to HR software costs - including average UK pricing, key cost drivers, and what to expect during implementation.
For larger organisations, HR systems are rarely off-the-shelf. Pricing depends on your structure, required functionality, integration needs, and global scalability. That’s why we offer tailored proposals aligned to your business goals.
Looking to build a business case? Use our HR Software ROI Report to explore the potential impact across recruitment, payroll software, and people operations.
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 Evo 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.
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.
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.
A HRMS can help you:
With Access, you’ll get dedicated account managers to help you from integration to everyday use. You’ll also get access to other support options such as online resources, and phone and email support when you need it.
Our cloud-based HR software takes the stress out of compliance by automatically updating in line with the latest legislative requirement, such as tax rates and bands. Updates are applied first in your test environment, giving you complete visibility and control before anything goes live. You’ll also receive timely notifications to ensure you're always informed and prepared.
No manual intervention is needed. We proactively manage all regulatory changes on your behalf, reducing risk and saving your team valuable time. It’s a worry-free approach that ensures your HR software remains compliant - seamlessly and securely.
