BambooHR is a user-friendly HR software solution, featuring a personalized HRIS (human resource information system), which allows you to consolidate all employee and HR-related data and manage it with ease. The software can be used to build a centralized database of employee profiles, which can be accessed by any employee that has access permissions. Each profile can store personal information and a photo, as well as data including benefits, salary, time-off, documents, and training. A nice feature is that these profiles can be admin-edited, so you can add custom fields and record important data that’s unique to your company. BambooHR also scores highly for its integration with other data tools, including HiringThing, NetSuite’s ERP system, Bullseye Engagement and Small Improvements, and payroll software like TRAXPayroll and Simplepay.ca. It uses a subscription pricing model starting at $8/employee/month, with a $99 monthly minimum.
