Designed to fit into your workflow
We integrate with some of the best-known business management software solutions, from Outlook to Xero. Below are
some of our highlights.
Its hard to find good HR Software for SMEs
When we started Breathe, we saw that HR software wasn't built for fast-moving SMEs it was overpriced, outdated, and designed for big enterprises. We spotted four big problems that needed fixing.
Huge monthly costs
Built for big enterprises, not fast-moving SMEs
Long and expensive onboarding periods
No human customer support
Here's why we're different
One simple, affordable price

Built for SMEs
We designed Breathe specifically for small and medium businesses with the speed, flexibility, and simplicity you need to thrive.
No onboarding periods or fees
