HRMS: buy off-the-shelf or build to fit?
Buy when your policies are standard; build when a generic tool fights you every month.

Buy or build?
For an HRMS, buy off-the-shelf when your policies are standard and you just need it organized; build (or heavily customize) when your leave, payroll, or review rules are unusual enough that a generic tool fights you.

We'll tell you honestly which fits. Describe your policies and we'll scope the right path.
