ELMO Software is a cloud-based HRIS platform built specifically for the Australian and New Zealand markets, with an additional presence in the UK. Trusted by over 2,000 organisations and 1.2 million users, ELMO covers the full employee lifecycle — from recruitment and onboarding through to payroll, performance management, learning, and workforce analytics — in a single modular platform. Organisations can implement individual modules or the full suite, with the flexibility to scale over time.
■ Key Features
ANZ-native compliance: Built from the ground up for Australian and New Zealand employment law — Modern Award interpretation, EBA management, STP Phase 2, SuperStream, and Fair Work compliance are core to the platform, not add-ons.
Modular architecture: ELMO's suite of fully integrated modules can be used together or as stand-alone solutions, giving organisations the flexibility to scale as needs evolve. Modules include HR Core, Payroll, Recruitment, Onboarding, Performance, Learning, and Workforce Analytics.
Learning management: A built-in LMS with a library of compliance-focused and professional development courses, with the ability to automatically assign and track mandatory training as part of onboarding or regulatory workflows.
People analytics: An AI-powered natural language insights engine layers over a complete employee data foundation to inform workforce decisions in real time, without requiring spreadsheets or data analysts.
Payroll network model: Rather than a single payroll engine, ELMO offers a best-in-class payroll partner network with two-way data syncs — allowing organisations to select the payroll provider that best suits their size and structure while maintaining data consistency.
■ Who It's Best Suited For
Australian mid-market organisations (typically 100–1,000 employees) seeking an ANZ-built HRIS with deep local compliance coverage and modular flexibility
HR teams in regulated industries — healthcare, education, financial services, construction — that need robust LMS and compliance tracking alongside core HR functions
Organisations moving off fragmented tools (separate payroll, LMS, and performance systems) that want a single, locally supported platform
■ Integrates With
Xero, SEEK, Indeed, LinkedIn, BundyPlus, and HRIS/payroll systems via open API. Payroll integrations via ELMO's partner network.
