Is Sincron HR Pro a Good Fit for a Small or Medium Business?
Yes, if your business has between 30 and 1,000 employees and HR has grown faster than your systems. Most of the businesses we work with fall into one of two groups.
If you run the business
You're an owner, COO or operations lead with 30 to 300 people, often across sites, shifts or job sites. Employee information lives in several places, every manager onboards differently, and HR admin takes more of your week than it should. You want structure that keeps up with growth, without hiring a department to run it.
If you lead HR
You're the HR manager or People & Culture lead for 30 to 1,000 employees, in professional services, healthcare, legal, financial services or a similar field. You need consistent processes, clean records and reporting you can trust, and you need managers to actually use the system you choose.
What HR Problems Does Sincron HR Pro Solve for Growing Businesses?
It replaces the informal processes that worked at 15 people and break at 50. These are the problems we hear most:
- Records in five places: contracts, certifications and personnel files end up across email, shared drives and filing cabinets. Sincron HR Pro keeps them in one secure employee file, with expiry tracking for documents and certifications.
- Every manager onboards differently: new hires get a different first week depending on who hired them. Structured onboarding checklists and automated tasks give everyone the same start.
- Schedules and time off by text message: shift scheduling, a team availability calendar, timesheets with manager approvals and timebanks keep coverage visible.
- Training tracked from memory: safety tickets, licences and required courses are tracked with renewal alerts, so nothing lapses quietly.
- Hiring through an inbox: job postings, candidates and reference checks live in one applicant tracking system.
What's Included in Sincron HR Pro?
Every core module is included in the subscription, so you're not deciding which features you can afford.

Sincron HR Pro works with Microsoft 365, including single sign-on, Outlook calendar and Teams. It runs in any web browser, including on a phone, so field and shift workers don't need to download an app; we show your team how to add it to their home screen.
H2: Do I Have to Change Payroll Providers
No. Sincron HR Pro doesn't process payroll. It sends employee, compensation and time data to the payroll system you already use, and your payroll provider keeps its compliance and tax-filing responsibilities. Our open API is optimized for for payroll systems like Sage 300 ERP and Sage X3, and can connect to other payroll systems. The payroll API is an optional add-on, configured at our hourly consulting rate.

You don't start from a blank system, and you don't set it up alone. Every client starts from Sincron HR Pro's base configuration, and a dedicated implementation consultant tailors it to your business during a free 60-day Implementation Trial (FIT):

Start Your Free Implementation Trial (FIT)What If We Don't Have an HR Person Yet?
Many growing businesses don't, and that's fine. For teams of up to 20 staff, Virtual HR gives you hands-on support from Sincron's HR team for a flat $500 per month, and it can start during the free trial. As you grow past 20, we'll help you through the transition to your own part-time or full-time HR administrator, who inherits a system that's already set up.
Larger teams can bring in our consultants when they need them, at our hourly consulting rate: an HR audit and process design, policy and procedure development, or implementation consulting.
