HR software designed with consultants in mind
Grow your practice, not your workload.
Your expertise is valuable. Your time is limited.
Pernie is being developed to help independent HR consultants manage client administration more efficiently, deliver a consistent service and create capacity for growth.
Our ambition is to give you the tools to support more businesses without proportionately increasing the administrative burden.
More clients shouldn’t mean more administration.
Every new client brings an opportunity to grow your practice.
But they can also bring another set of employee records, holiday requests, documentation, reminders and routine HR activities.
As your client portfolio grows, managing this information efficiently becomes increasingly important.
We believe your software should help you scale your practice, not become another administrative responsibility.
That’s the problem Pernie is being developed to solve.
The Pernie advantage
One consultancy. Multiple clients. A simpler way to work.
Pernie’s planned consultancy experience brings the everyday HR administration of different client organisations into one accessible working environment.
The intention is to allow authorised consultants to move between client accounts, review essential information and identify matters requiring attention, while maintaining appropriate separation of each organisation’s confidential records.
For a consultant supporting several employers, that could mean less time navigating systems and more time offering valuable advice.
Designed around your working day
Client oversight
Work towards a clearer view of the businesses you support and the activities that matter.
Routine administration
Simplify the essential HR processes that take up valuable consultancy time.
Professional collaboration
Help clients manage their everyday responsibilities while keeping the consultant involved where appropriate.
Business continuity
Your clients retain their own organisational accounts and can continue using Pernie if their consultancy arrangements change.
A consistent client experience
Support employers with a straightforward platform that is easy to understand and use.
More than referral commission
A partnership that helps your consultancy grow.
We want Pernie to become a product that HR consultants value in their own businesses.
That means the partnership must offer more than a financial reward for introducing software. Our proposed programme is built around three benefits.
Work more efficiently
Use better organised processes to reduce routine administration and create more capacity for client service.
Deliver greater value
Help clients adopt practical HR processes and maintain clearer records.
Create recurring income
Earn commission from suitable client introductions under a straightforward partnership arrangement.
We are developing the programme with input from HR professionals and will confirm commission arrangements before commercial launch.
Register as a prospective partnerWe want to hear from people who do this work every day.
The best HR software should reflect the practical realities of working with employers.
We’re therefore involving experienced HR professionals in the development of Pernie, with particular attention to what makes consultancy work easier and more effective.
We’re interested in the processes that consume the most time, the limitations of existing systems and the opportunities for practical improvement.
Our objective is to build what consultants genuinely need, rather than add features simply because we can.
Looking ahead
More support for the work that matters.
As Pernie develops, we intend to explore carefully governed AI functionality that can assist with appropriate routine activities.
Potential applications include preparing draft communications, highlighting upcoming actions, organising information and helping consultants locate relevant documents.
Any future functionality would be designed to support professional judgement, with appropriate human review and protection of confidential information.
These features are not part of the initial release.
Our immediate priority is to deliver a dependable core HR platform that people can confidently use.

Questions consultants ask.
Can HR consultants use Pernie with more than one client?
That's a central part of the product proposition. Pernie is being designed to enable authorised consultants to work across multiple client organisations, while keeping each employer's records appropriately separated.
The full functionality will be confirmed before early access.
What happens if I change HR consultant?
The intention is that each employer retains its organisational account and can continue using Pernie independently. Access permissions can then be adjusted to reflect its current consultancy arrangements.
How much will Pernie cost?
We're developing a straightforward subscription model based on employee numbers, with clear pricing and no unnecessary complexity.
Final pricing and any introductory arrangements will be confirmed before early access.
Does Pernie include AI?
AI functionality is not planned for the initial release.
We intend to explore useful, responsibly governed assistance in future, particularly where it could reduce routine administration for HR consultants and employers.
Professional judgement and appropriate human oversight will remain important.
Can I become a Pernie partner?
We're developing a partner proposition for independent HR consultants and outsourced HR practices.
It is intended to offer practical software benefits alongside an opportunity to earn recurring income from suitable client introductions.
