HR · part of the Spodus suite
HR software for small teams, without payroll.
Spodus HR is cloud HR software for small businesses. It keeps one record per person, draws the org chart from it, and handles time off, onboarding checklists, reviews and employee self-service. There is no payroll and no benefits administration: it is for small teams that run payroll somewhere else and want the rest of HR beside their CRM.
HR software for small business, in three parts.
One record per person, the chart drawn from it, and the requests that used to be an email thread. It sits beside your CRM. There is no shift scheduling, so it is not workforce management software for small business.
01
Employee management: one record per person, and a chart that draws itself.
Employee management software starts with the employee database: one record per person. Role, documents and the reporting line live on that record, and the org chart is built from its manager field rather than kept beside it. Profiles and the org chart together are the employee management system. A People dashboard shows headcount by department, who is out today and who joined in the last 30 days.
- People records. Employee database software, in one profile per person: roles, compensation, documents and history. HR document management is a file on the record, not a second system.
- Org chart. A living org chart. The employee management platform redraws it as people join, move and leave.
02
Employee self-service: the requests that used to be an email thread.
A day off is a record with dates, a type and a state, filed by the person who wants it against a balance they can see before they ask. Employee self-service software at this size is that simple: nobody emails HR to ask.
- Time off. Requests, approvals, and balances in a tap, on a calendar the whole team can see.
- Employee self-service. Self-service HR software means employees book time off and view the org chart themselves, instead of emailing HR and waiting.
03
Joining, and the year after.
HR onboarding software here is a dated checklist for the first ninety days. The appraisal side is reviews grouped by cycle, with a reviewer and a due date on each. Both are lists somebody works through, not jobs that run themselves.
- Onboarding. One dated checklist per new hire, from the offer letter to the ninety-day check-in.
- Reviews & goals. HR appraisal software at its plainest: reviews grouped by cycle, each with a reviewer, a rating and a due date.
One connected system
Cloud HR, for the same people who run the business.
Spodus HR runs in the cloud. We host it, update it and back it up; you open it in a browser. Your org chart isn't a separate list, it's the reps who own deals, the agents who work tickets, and the admins who send invoices. Manage people once and it lines up everywhere.
- Assign a rep in CRM and their role, workload, and time off already match.
- One role per person, set here, covering every module.
- Employees self-serve time off and the org chart, without going through HR.
HR stands on the same platform as the other four.
