An HRIS system that can be customised to your needs
Having an industry-leading HRIS system behind you, like Citation Group’s HR management software, is the stress-free way to store, manage, and update your employees’ information, produce legally sound documents and policies, and integrate with other key software within your business. One of the best things about our software is its ability to be an off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all product or be completely customised to suit the needs of your business.
What is an HRIS?
An HRIS (human resources information system) is a digital platform that centralises your core HR processes. It replaces spreadsheets, paper files, and disconnected systems with a single source of truth for all your employee data and HR activities, giving HR professionals a cleaner, faster way to handle employee data management across the business.
A modern HRIS typically includes:
- Employee records and data management.
- Onboarding and offboarding workflows.
- Leave and absence management.
- Performance management and reviews.
- Compliance documentation and HR reporting.
- Employee self-service (eSS) access.

Simply put, Human Resources or HR, as it’s often referred to, is a department within a business that is solely focused on managing the employee lifecycle from recruitment and onboarding through to performance management and retirement.
HRIS stands for human resources information system. It is a digital platform that centralises employee data and automates core HR processes, from onboarding and leave management to performance reviews and compliance reporting.
HRIS (human resources information system) focuses on data management and core HR processes. HRMS (human resources management system) typically extends into payroll and broader workforce management. HCM (human capital management) is the broadest term, covering strategic talent management and workforce planning.
Citation Group’s HR software covers all three, from operational HRIS functions that HR administrators use day-to-day, through to the strategic HRIS capabilities needed to make data-driven decisions and inform HR strategy across their HR departments.
HR software, also known as human resources management software or an HR system, is a digital platform that helps businesses manage and automate their human resources processes. It centralises core HR functions that would otherwise be handled manually or across multiple disconnected tools, from onboarding and performance management through to compliance and employee data. Our HR management system software is a cloud-based HRIS covering the full employee lifecycle.
Australian businesses have access to a range of HR systems and HRIS systems, from standalone tools that handle a single HR function through to comprehensive HR information systems that manage the full employee lifecycle. Citation Group’s platform is purpose-built for the Australian market, with local employment law built in, HR software Australia businesses can rely on, and a support team based here.
A quality HRIS should automate routine workflows and reduce administrative burdens, give employees self-service access to manage their own information and time-off requests, integrate with your existing business systems, and provide robust reporting and analytics to help you forecast workforce needs and identify talent gaps. The best HR software management decisions start with understanding which of these capabilities matter most for your business size and HR strategy.
Yes, particularly if you don’t have a dedicated HR team. The right HRIS gives small businesses access to legally sound documents, automated compliance workflows, and structured HR processes without needing an in-house HR expert. See our HR software for small business page for more.
Citation Group’s HR software works alongside foundU – a payroll software platform built specifically for Australian businesses. foundU handles Single Touch Payroll (STP), automated award interpretation, and payroll processing for Australian businesses. Employee data moves between the two platforms to reduce double-handling and minimise errors.
The cost of an HRIS depends on the size of your business, the features you need, and how the platform is configured. For a clear picture of what Citation Group’s HR software costs, see our HR software pricing page.
