PeopleHR

PeopleHR is a cloud-based HR platform for UK small and medium-sized businesses, launched in 2011. It brings HR records, payroll, learning, employee benefits and recruitment into one interconnected system, addressing the administrative burden of managing people processes across separate tools.

The suite includes HRIS records, automated payroll, timesheets, absence management, recruitment, learning, benefits, people analytics, reports and performance management. Ripple handles workflow automation, while Access Evo provides AI features embedded across HR, payroll, learning and benefits, including an AI HR assistant called Co-Pilot. A mobile app supports employee self-service and approvals. Integrations cover payroll, business intelligence, workflow automation, recruitment, identity and security, with an open HR API offering 94 endpoints across 19 categories.

PeopleHR is aimed at HR managers, payroll teams, business owners and C-suite leaders in small and medium-sized businesses. It is packaged in four editions — Starter, Core, Pro and Elite+ — with Starter and Core available on a free 14-day trial, and Pro and Elite+ requiring contact. Higher editions add onboarding, expenses, e-signatures, performance management, timesheets, surveys, automated workflows and advanced analytics.
