According to a survey conducted by Smartsheet, 40% of the surveyed workers shared that around 25% of their time is lost to repetitive tasks. HR, in most cases, suffers the same fate.
However, through the power of AI and automation, you, as a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME), have the power to turn this redundancy into productivity. Blaze HR leads the way in this regard.
Let’s have a look at a few of its key features:
All-in-One Staff & Document Management
Approximately 69% of employees who experience an exceptional onboarding process tend to stay within the company for at least three years.
Blaze HR makes it smooth, thanks to the digital onboarding process with digitised forms and automated workflows. From the authentication of documents to the signing of policies, everything is handled online.
Have multiple branches?
Blaze HR has that covered as well!
Customisable settings and permissions, with the convenience of assigning and tracking staff, makes handling multiple branches a breeze.
Here are a few additional features your HR team will truly appreciate:
- Personalised policy templates directly generated using company details
- Secure AWS S3 buckets with encryption and access control, coupled with compliance tracking
- Automated document upload, updation and expiry reminders
- A centralised detailed staff information database with the option of adding additional customisable data fields
- Schedule and conduct performance reviews and track metrics with ease
- Automated payslip management
- Stay compliant and organised by effortless management of DBS checks and verification of UK work rights
- Staff interview tracking and history, exit interviewing for work environment feedback and improvement and system access revocation

Leave Management Simplified
With Blaze HR, you get both a web application and a mobile app, allowing your employees to:
- Easily view their available leave allowance
- Apply for various leave types (e.g., casual, sick, holiday)
- Track the status of their applications
- Receive real-time push notifications right from the palm of their hand
Additionally, the web portal includes a detailed leave application form and a leave calendar for team scheduling.
With a customisable dashboard, all the relevant information is visible to both HR and the employees. These dashboards are fully automated with all the relevant public holidays and employee leave allowance synchronised and leave durations calculated.
Your HR team can define specific approval rules based on leave type, seniority, or department, eliminating the mundanity of the process.
Additionally, your employees have the option to attach documents for medical or emergency leaves, and can link their leave data with the attendance system for consistent and accurate record-keeping.
Keep Everyone Informed with the Broadcast System Module
Connection is crucial for growth!
With Blaze HR, you get multiple targeted broadcasting options, i.e., staff-specific, branch-wise, department-oriented or group/team-wise. Customise as needed.
Each update is shared as an email notification, an in-app notification and a push notification, ensuring nothing gets missed.
You can:
- Attach documents if needed
- Schedule and host virtual meetings via Google Meet
- Schedule broadcasts
- Track the broadcast history
Task Management Made Efficient
With Blaze HR, from creating detailed tasks with priority assignments to assigning them to individual employees or teams and tracking progress, everything happens within a single environment. Project Management software who?!
All the tasks are synchronisable with the calendar, making tracking deadlines and reviewing workloads simplified. Additionally, your team can add comments and discuss their individual or team tasks within the system.
You can even attach voice notes and documents for quick and efficient communication.
Did we mention the availability of automated reminders and real-time notifications?
Effortless Rota Management
With Blaze HR’s Shift Scheduling, assigning single or multiple shifts to employees or groups is a breeze.
Create reusable shift templates for those recurring patterns and customise every detail, from start and end times to breaks and locations.
Need a clear overview? Switch between daily, weekly or monthly calendar views to plan and manage shifts like a pro.
It gets smarter too: leave integration automatically avoids scheduling conflicts, while rota information syncs with attendance, including biometric device records, to keep everything accurate.
Plus, advanced features like automated shift optimisation match schedules to availability, skills and workload effortlessly.
Employees can even request shift swaps with manager approval, and you can assign shifts by location or for temporary staff. Work-from-home shifts? Covered.
With recurring shift patterns, automatic notifications and shift swap history all tracked in one place, managing your team’s schedule has never been this effortless. Shift Scheduling software? Who needs it!
Security is Our Priority
With Blaze HR, security isn’t just a feature, it’s baked into the entire experience. From rock-solid user authentication to enterprise-grade cloud protection, everything happens within one unified and user-friendly environment. We’re talking about Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to enhance login security, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure that everyone only sees what they’re supposed to, and smart password policies that keep credentials strong and up-to-date.
Sessions auto-expire after inactivity (bye-bye, unauthorised access!), and Cloudflare Turnstile steps in as your friendly, behind-the-scenes bot bouncer – no annoying CAPTCHAs here.
Your data lives in secure, encrypted storage (think AWS S3) and gets the VIP treatment with regular audits and vulnerability checks. Network-level defences include firewalls, IDPS to sniff out shady traffic and HTTPS all the way for encrypted client-server communication.
Operating in the cloud? We’ve got that on lockdown too.
With best practices like regular patching, proactive scanning, and tight access controls, plus Cloudflare WAF guarding against web-based nasties, your digital assets are in safe hands.
Our chosen data centres? Based in Europe and fully compliant with top-tier security regulations.
And because we like to plan ahead, daily server backups keep your data ready to roll back if needed, while a full-blown disaster recovery plan means you’re covered even when things go sideways.
