You've outgrown WhatsApp and Excel
At 11 people the memory system breaks. At 20 it's chaos. At 50 you're losing half your week to HR admin. Cedrios gives you the structure to manage your growing team — without hiring an HR department.
From $2/user/month · Starter plan
Growing pains are real
You hired fast, systems didn't keep up
When it was 5 people, you knew everything. Now it's 25 and you can't remember who's on probation, who's used their leave, or who has the spare office key.
WhatsApp is your HR system
Leave requests, sick day notifications, policy questions — all in the group chat. Scroll back far enough and you'll find the answer. Maybe.
HR admin is eating your week
You spend Monday morning answering 'what's my leave balance?' and Friday afternoon chasing who hasn't returned the company laptop. That's not what you should be doing.
No HR person — and you can't afford one yet
You need HR systems but not a full-time HR hire. You need something that does the job for $50–100/month, not $2,000/month for a salary.
Everything a growing team needs
Cedrios replaces the spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and paper folders with one platform that handles it all. Every feature your team needs, from $2/user/month.
People Profiles & Directory
Complete profiles for everyone. Instant search by name, phone, department. Filter by status, team, or employment type. CSV export anytime.
Time Off Management
Leave requests in 30 seconds. One-tap approvals. Auto-calculated balances. Country-specific policies pre-configured. Team calendar.
Attendance & Shifts
Clock-in from any phone. Shift scheduling. Flexible hours for office teams. One system for desk workers and field staff.
Asset Tracking

Self Service Portal
Your people update their own details, check their leave balance, and access policies — without asking you. Less admin, more autonomy.

What small businesses say
“We went from tracking leave in a notebook to having everything in one place. Took 10 minutes to set up.”
“At $50/month for 25 people, it's the best money we spend. We were losing more than that in untracked assets.”
“Our auditor was impressed. For the first time we could produce every document they asked for in minutes.”
