HR software gives businesses one place to manage everything to do with their people: employee records, holiday and absence, documents, onboarding, performance and reporting. It replaces the spreadsheets, email chains and paper files that most growing businesses start with.
Also known as an HRIS (Human Resources Information System) or HRMS (Human Resources Management Systems), it’s all about making people management simple. Your team can find what they need, update their details and book their own leave, without asking HR.
There is a broad range of prices for HR software, depending on your company size and what you want from it.
Breathe provides one of the most affordable rates on the market, starting at just £24 per month for a business of 1-10 people.

Does Breathe HR include absence management?
Yes. Absence management is included in Breathe at no extra cost. You can record sickness and unplanned absences, store fit notes and return-to-work documents, and set trigger points to flag when someone’s absence needs attention.
Everything sits in one place, so staying on top of absences is simple. No more spreadsheets or extra systems needed.
How does the 14-day free trial work?
We want you to try Breathe without the worry of card numbers and cancellations. That’s why we’ll only ask for payment details at the end of your trial period. There are truly no barriers to getting started and exploring Breathe’s range of useful features for yourself.
Can Breathe integrate with other systems/apps I already use?
Yes, Breathe connects with Xero for payroll, Microsoft Outlook for calendar sync, hireful for recruitment, and many other apps.
Can I scale the software as my business grows?
Absolutely. Breathe is designed for small businesses and growing teams, with flexible plans covering from one up to 250 people.
You can update your plan as your team changes, and switch on add-ons like Breathe Learn for training courses that build your team's soft skills, and Breathe Expenses for claims, receipts and approvals.
How long does HR Software implementation take?
Most businesses are up and running in under a week. Because Breathe is cloud-based, there’s nothing to install or set up, so you can get going quickly.
You’ll find guides, onboarding materials and friendly UK support whenever you need it.
Can I manage multiple locations or regions?
Yes, Breathe lets you manage multiple offices, departments or regions - all in a single account. You can filter reports and calendars by location, so it’s easy to keep things organised, even across different sites.
Is HR software difficult for non-technical users to use?
No. Breathe is designed to be intuitive and easy to use for managers and employees alike, with no technical expertise required. Most users can start using core features like booking holiday or finding documents immediately.
