PeopleForce

HR
Velocity6.3

All-in-one HR platform covering recruiting, onboarding, performance and time off.

PeopleForce expands to frontline workers with a mobile app that skips the corporate mailbox.

Current state
PeopleForce is an HR platform for SMEs and mid-market companies shipping steadily across leave management, payroll integrations, performance reviews, electronic signatures, and compliance tooling. The product covers the core HR lifecycle — nothing is conspicuously missing — and recent releases have been incremental expansions rather than architectural changes. EU compliance features suggest a focused effort on European enterprise buyers.
Where it's heading
The redesigned mobile app targeting frontline employees — phone-number sign-in, no corporate email required — is the clearest directional signal: PeopleForce is moving beyond desk-based HR workflows toward the broader distributed workforce. Combined with payroll system integrations (Optima, enova365) and EU Pay Transparency support, the product is building a compliance-plus-coverage argument for buyers with mixed workforces.
Prediction
Shift scheduling and on-site time tracking are the logical next extensions of the frontline mobile push. EU compliance tooling will likely deepen as the Pay Transparency Directive reporting deadlines tighten through 2026 and 2027.
