HR Software for Small Businesses
Simple HR software built for independent businesses.
Indie Mate is HR software for UK small businesses. It brings employee records, documents, holiday requests, absence tracking and everyday HR administration into one straightforward system. We help you implement it properly, organise your data and give managers and employees the confidence to use it.
A simpler HR system for everyday people administration
We start by understanding what is happening in your business, what outcome you need and where the immediate risks or pressures sit. You receive plain-English recommendations and a clear route forward—not generic advice or unnecessary process.
A useful place to start
If you are comparing employment software, start with the work your managers actually need to complete. Indie Mate is designed for employee records, documents, holiday, absence and everyday people administration—not as a replacement for tailored HR advice.
