HR software is sometimes referred to as a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) simply because it is an HR tool to keep employee data and information in one place. It also enables you to manage all HR functions and processes in one place, including:

- Storing employee data

- Payroll administrator

- Expenses management

- Benefits management

- Recruitment and applicant tracking

- On-boarding

- Training Sickness and absence tracking

- Managing workloads and time logging

- Performance monitoring and evaluation

- Holiday management

- Strategic reporting

In a nutshell, a Human Resource Management System is a one-stop-shop for organising and managing people data, while streamlining everything to do with HR.

You will need to decide which HRIS solution is the best fit for your company. Factors you will want to consider include:

Can the HR information system scale?

You need a solution that can keep up with business growth and an increasing number of employees. Breathe's HRIS scales according to the number of employees, up to a maximum of 250.

Can you integrate a HRIS with other systems?

Some do. Breathe, for example, offer an open-source API which enables you to easily integrate with other systems in your business.

How easy is the HR software to use?

Breathe's HRIS offers user-friendly visibility dashboards, is super-easy to learn and straight forward to use. Our free trial lets you try before you subscribe.

What support will you get from the software provider?

Every provider is different. At Breathe, we offer comprehensive support - from video user guides and help guides to online chat. We're also at the end of the phone if you need to talk to us.

Aside from Breathe’s time-saving features, the fact that it’s cloud-based is a huge benefit for small- to medium-sized businesses. Instead of installing software on each of your user’s computers, Breathe lets your staff access the software from anywhere. It requires no installation, no large up-front payment, and can be up and running in moments.

From the usability of our software to the flexibility of our payment plans, we created Breathe from the ground up to cater for smaller businesses. We’ve also made it easy to get started, erasing the steep learning curve of other HR software on the market.

We’re committed to keeping your information safe. All data stored in Breathe is compliant with GDPR best practice, and our ISO 27001 compliance certification ensures your private information is always safe and secure.

If you’ve ever had the pain of searching for a lost document or scouring a busy spreadsheet, you need HR software. It simply centralises all your employee data. HR software also gives power to your people. With it, they can book off holiday, keep up with training, and more – without you needing to hold their hand.
