Leave balances, timesheets, and employee files tend to scatter across spreadsheets as a company grows; OrangeHRM pulls them into one human resources system that runs entirely on your own server. Human resources staff keep a complete record for every employee, from contact details and job history to documents, dependents, and custom fields the organization defines. Employees request vacation, sick days, or any leave type you configure, and supervisors approve or reject each request against live entitlement balances instead of counting days by hand. Timesheets and punch-in, punch-out attendance records show who worked on which project and for how long, turning payroll preparation into a review step instead of an investigation. When a position opens, vacancies are published, applications collected, and candidates moved through screening, interviews, and offers with every comment kept on the candidate record. Performance reviews run on scheduled cycles with goals and appraisals recorded per employee, so annual reviews stop depending on whoever kept the best notes. Administrators shape the system around the company itself: organization structure, job titles, pay grades, locations, user roles, and the logo and colors employees see at login. Built-in reports answer everyday questions, like whose contracts end this quarter or which department used the most leave, and the directory gives everyone a searchable view of who does what.

The first AI-enabled open-source Human Capital Management system built for the agentic era — not a legacy HRMS with AI features bolted on, but a platform architected from the ground up with native MCP, A2A, and WebMCP protocols enabling any LLM client to query employee records, create calendar entries, and orchestrate multi-step HR workflows. Built on the battle-tested SuiteCRM/SugarCRM CE foundation and extended with 17 dedicated HR modules — recruitment pipeline with candidate scoring, onboarding checklists, competency matrices, employment history tracking, leave management with accrual policies, time and attendance, resource booking, travel and expense reporting, workplace management, performance evaluations, job description builder, employer branding campaigns, offboarding workflows, and a configurable analytics engine — all controlled through granular role-based permissions. The integrated LangGraph-powered AI agent operates with human-in-the-loop confirmation before mutating data, while the MCP server layer exposes structured HR operations to Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client. Native REST API enables integration with SAP, Workday, and custom applications. Mobile apps for iOS and Android provide field access to employee data and approvals. Runs on Apache2 with PHP 8.2, MySQL 8.0 or MariaDB, and ElasticSearch 7.10+ for full-text search and list indexing.
