Does the core really well

Rolled it out with no training needed. Reporting is the one area I would like more from.

Perfect first HR system

We rolled it out to the whole team in an afternoon and adoption was instant. Sickness and holiday tracking is spot on.

Wish we had moved sooner

The self service means people stop coming to my desk for every little thing. That alone was worth it.

Staff love booking their own leave

As a non HR person I needed something obvious. It handles holidays, documents and reviews without a manual.

Does the job, just

Good for holidays and records, though the scheduling did not really cope with our shift patterns.
