MHR
HR, payroll, and finance platform for people operations.
Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
MHR is a UK HR, payroll, and finance vendor. People First, iTrent, and MHR ERP are sold on bespoke quotes, not a public per-employee card.
Stands out for: People First puts workforce management, HR, and payroll on one platform so frontline staff can clock in, see a schedule, and open a payslip from the same login.
Watch out for: Quotes track headcount, payroll frequency, modules (HR, finance, time, analytics, iTrent Shield), and whether you want software-only or fully managed payroll. A small People First entity is priced unlike a multi-entity iTrent rollout.
Overview
MHR Global sells People First for unified HR, payroll, and workforce management, iTrent for configurable mid-market and enterprise payroll, and an ERP suite for larger groups. Outsourced payroll processing is offered beside software licenses.
Pricing is bespoke. The vendor does not print a per-employee rate. Implementation, module mix, and managed-service vs software-only drive the quote. Integrations named in third-party roundups are not repeated here without a vendor integrations page.

- US SMBs that want Gusto-style $49/mo checkout
