Used 1 to 2 years

New hires arrive already in the system

Accrual and carryover rules match our policy exactly, including the cap, and the calendar shows the whole team. The arguments about who booked what and how many days are left are gone. That was worth the subscription on its own.

Employee self service that genuinely reduces HR interruptions

Approval chains and custom fields hit a ceiling

We stopped keeping HR in a shared drive

Managers see their own team and cannot see compensation for anyone else. Getting that permissions model right is why HR was willing to put real data in it.

Employees find their own documents now

The mobile app is genuinely used by our field staff, which I did not expect. They request time off from their phones and approvals happen the same day.

New hires arrive already in the system

We had failed at two HR systems before this. The difference is that we actually finished implementing this one. It was live in about three weeks with our own team, no consultant, and people used it without a mandate.

Employees find their own documents now

The employee record is the quiet win. Compensation history, reviews, documents, emergency contacts and certifications in one place with real permissions. We were running that across a shared drive and a spreadsheet and I did not appreciate the risk until it was fixed.

Under twenty five people the pricing bites

Approval chains are simpler than our structure needs and custom fields run out. At three hundred and forty people we are working around things that were effortless at ninety. It was the perfect product for us for four years.

Managers see their team and nothing else

Employees look up their own time off balance, their own documents and their own handbook instead of emailing me. I reckon that removed thirty or forty interruptions a month, and each one used to break whatever I was doing.

Turnover reporting our board asked for

New hire paperwork used to be a folder of PDFs, a week of chasing, and an I-9 I was never fully confident about. Now they get a link, complete everything themselves before day one, and it is signed and filed. We hired eleven people last year and it stopped being an event.

Headcount and turnover reporting comes out of the box. Our board asked for twelve month attrition by department and I had it in about four minutes rather than the day it used to take.

The price climbs quietly as you hire

Per employee pricing means every hire raises the bill, which is fair and still surprises you. Our HR software line has tripled in three years while our team doubled, because we also moved up a tier for performance management.
