You started a business, not an HR department
You've got 2, 3, maybe 5 people. You don't need a complex HR system — you need one place to keep everyone's details, track who's off, and store important documents. Cedrios does exactly that. For free.
Free forever for up to 5 people
You're small — but the problems are real
Everything lives in your head
You know everyone's details because there's only 5 of you. But what happens when someone's in an accident and you need their emergency contact? Or a new person joins and you forget to get their ID?
Leave is a WhatsApp conversation
"Boss, I need Friday off." You say yes, then forget. End of month: did they take 3 days or 4? Nobody knows. No record.
Contracts in a drawer — maybe
You signed a contract when they started. It's somewhere. Probably in that folder. Or was it emailed? You'll find it when you need it. Hopefully.
You're about to grow
You're hiring person 6 or 7 soon. The WhatsApp-and-memory system won't scale. Better to start organised now than scramble later.
Everything you need — completely free
No trial period. No credit card. No "free for 14 days then we charge you." Free for up to 5 people, forever.
People Profiles
A complete digital profile for every team member — personal info, job title, start date, emergency contacts. Add someone in 60 seconds.
Time Off
Your people request leave from their phone. You approve with one tap. Balances calculated automatically. No more guessing.
Self Service
Your people update their own phone number, address, and emergency contacts. Less admin for you.
Documents (100MB)
Store contracts, IDs, and important documents per person. Searchable, secure, accessible from any device.
