01 / 0507:31 · Leaving home

The day starts on the road.

Jimmy pulls off the drive and the journey starts logging itself — route, miles, odometer. Nothing to remember.

Auto mileageGPS route

One tap at the door.

The geofence knows he has arrived. Clock-in takes a second, and the office sees him on the map instantly.

Coffee, logged.

One tap starts the break, one tap ends it — unpaid by default, counted to the minute, no arguments later.

The timesheet wrote itself.

Hours, breaks and mileage are already added up and waiting for approval before Jimmy reaches his car.

Payroll ran from the day he actually worked — PAYE and NI calculated, submitted, done. His phone lights up.

(01) — What you get

Software that knows how shift work actually runs

Missed clock-ins, lost paper timesheets, a visa date nobody spotted until it suddenly mattered — every business that runs a team knows these problems by heart. Exhale HR is built to catch every one of them, in one login.

Clock-ins you can actually trust

Staff tap one button when they arrive. You see it happen on the map, with the time, the place and the phone it came from. No more “I definitely started at 8”.

  • GPS clocking with geofencing — clock-ins only count at the right place
  • QR-code clocking and photo verification for shared sites
  • Works offline — everything syncs when signal returns
  • One-tap breaks, late-arrival and missed-shift monitoring
  • Live map of everyone on shift, one pin per person

Rotas that fill their own gaps

Build next week's rota in one sitting. If two shifts clash, it tells you. If Thursday is short-staffed, you find out on Monday — not on Thursday.

  • Drag-simple scheduling across multiple locations
  • Shift patterns, open shifts and availability in one view
  • Conflict warnings and staffing-gap alerts before they bite
  • Changes reach every phone instantly, with notifications

Onboarding & compliance that chase themselves

Add a name and an email — the system takes it from there. New starters get their registration and app links automatically, references are requested for you, and every document is tracked from first day to expiry.

  • Onboarding in minutes — add one person or bulk-import a whole spreadsheet
  • Automatic reference checks — referees get the request by email and replies file themselves against the profile
  • Right-to-work, DBS, passport & visa tracking built in
  • Expiry alerts land well before documents lapse, and missing paperwork flags the profile until it's in
  • Document categories, approvals and a complete audit history

From timesheet to payslip, without the Friday panic

Once a timesheet is approved, the pay is already worked out: rates, overtime, breaks, the lot. On the Advanced plan you send it straight to HMRC and you're done.

  • Approval workflows with draft, approved and locked states
  • Scheduled vs worked hours, overtime and corrections — audited
  • PDF reports and CSV exports for your accountant
  • Direct HMRC integration — PAYE, NI and statutory calculations

Mileage with receipts, not guesses

Plenty of staff spend half their day on the road. Exhale HR records each journey as it happens — odometer photos, the route, the miles — so when the claim reaches your desk, the proof is already attached.

  • Start and end odometer readings, with photo evidence
  • GPS route recording, planned vs actual mileage
  • Approval workflows tied to the shift it belongs to
  • Paid at your agreed rate per mile, into payroll automatically

(06) — Sold on its own

Only need clocking in and out?

Exhale HR is the whole platform. Time & Attendance is the clocking half of it, sold on its own — verified clock-ins, breaks, timesheets and the live map, without the rotas, payroll and onboarding you are not ready for yet.

  • GPS clocking with geofencing, so clock-ins only count at the right place
  • QR-code clocking and photo verification for shared sites
  • One-tap breaks, late-arrival and missed-shift monitoring
  • Timesheets that add themselves up, ready for approval

(05b) — The real thing

Not a mock-up. The portal, as it is today.

Employee hub

Active employees, open onboarding, compliance alerts, overtime, on one screen.

The onboarding pipeline shows who is at 96 percent and who has not started. The compliance list names the document and the date. That is the manager's morning, before the first phone call.

The real Exhale HR employee hub
Rota

A month on one screen, published to every phone.

Plan the month, publish it, and the app shows each person their own shifts. When the day changes, the record shows what happened, not what was planned.

The real Exhale HR rota in month view
Live timesheet

Every session, every day, totals on the right.

Sessions that ran past midnight carry into the next day and say so. Open shifts count up to now. Click a session to open it. Approve the week and it goes to payroll.

(07) — Good questions

Before you ask…

How long does it take to get set up?
Most teams are up and running the same week. Add your locations and shift patterns, bulk-import your employees from a simple spreadsheet, and registration emails with the app links go out automatically. We'll walk you through it on a call if you'd like company.
Am I tied into a long contract?
No. Exhale HR is a monthly subscription — you can move between plans as your team grows or cancel whenever you need to. Your data stays exportable throughout.
Where is our data held, and is it secure?
Your data lives on secure, encrypted UK-based cloud infrastructure, with role-based access so people only see what their job needs. Every payroll-affecting change is recorded in a full audit trail.
Do my staff need anything special to use the apps?
Just an ordinary Android phone or iPhone. Each employee gets a registration email with download links and step-by-step install instructions for their device — and clocking even works offline, syncing when signal returns.
We work a bit differently — can the system adapt?
That's exactly what the Advanced plan's bespoke customisation is for: custom forms, custom approval chains, custom reports and organisation-specific workflows. Tell us how your day runs and we shape the platform around it — not the other way round.

Ready to give your admin a breather?

Book a 20-minute call and we'll walk you through Exhale HR live — real screens, no slides, no hard sell.

Guides

The questions people ask before they ask about software

Plain answers, written by the people who build Exhale HR. No sales pitch until the end.

Part of Exhale Staffing

Exhale HR is one of four. Here is what sits beside it.

Each product is sold on its own and works on its own. Put two side by side and the retyping between them stops.

Proof the shift happened

Timesheets still arriving on paper?

Staff clock in on their own phone, a geofence confirms they were on site, mileage logs itself on the way home, and the week reaches payroll in one click.

See Time & Attendance →
  • No hardware to buy or fix to a wall
  • Works with no signal and syncs later
  • Automated presence checks while the shift is open
  • One click from the week to payroll

Running a care service

Have a care service, but nothing proper to run it on?

Rotas and staff files are one half. The other half is the care: who visited, what was done, what the medication record says, and whether you could show an inspector tomorrow.

See Exhale Care Solution →
  • Rounds planned with travel treated as real time
  • Care notes written at the visit, not at the weekend
  • Visits verified by location, so evidence is not a claim
  • A family portal that stops the reassurance calls

Keeping people qualified

Chasing certificates round by email?

A certificate in somebody's inbox is not evidence. Train through our own centre and the completion lands on the staff file, dated, with the expiry already counting down.

See KCP Training Centre →
  • Accredited health and social care qualifications
  • Over 1,000 CPD courses, studied around shifts
  • Oliver McGowan Tier 1 and Tier 2
  • Certificates issued straight to the learner

The company behind all of it

Short of people this week, not just short of software?

Exhale Staffing builds these products and staffs the services that use them. If the real problem is being two carers down on Thursday, that is the same phone call.

  • Vetted health and social care staff, compliance checked
  • Websites, web apps and mobile apps from the same team
  • A practical training room in Liverpool
  • One company to ring, wherever the problem sits
