ELMO Software

ELMO uses a modular, quote-only pricing model. There is no published rate card. The total cost depends on the number of employees, the modules selected (HR, Payroll, Recruitment, Learning, Performance, and others), and implementation requirements. Annual contracts are standard. Prospective customers need to contact ELMO directly for a tailored quote.

Yes. ELMO is headquartered in Australia and was built specifically for the AU and NZ markets. Its compliance tooling covers the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards, and AU-specific HR documentation, which sets it apart from global platforms that apply compliance frameworks retrospectively.

Yes. ELMO includes a native payroll module that is STP Phase 2 compliant, enabling direct reporting of wages, tax, and super to the ATO each pay run. MYOB and Xero integrations are also available for businesses that prefer to keep their existing payroll provider.

ELMO is fully modular. Beyond core HR and leave management, available modules include payroll, recruitment (ATS), onboarding, learning management (LMS), performance reviews, and time and attendance. Because each module is priced separately, businesses pay only for what they use, though costs can accumulate quickly for organisations that need a broad feature set.

ELMO targets Australian mid-market businesses, typically 100 to 1,000 employees, that need a single integrated platform across HR, payroll, learning, and performance. It is less suited to small teams, both because quote-only pricing and annual contracts add friction, and because per-employee costs at low headcount are rarely competitive against self-serve SaaS options.

ELMO involves a structured implementation process managed by an implementation team, which takes longer than self-serve SaaS platforms. Timelines vary by the number of modules and the complexity of the organisation, but mid-market projects typically run several weeks to a few months. This is by design for an enterprise-grade platform and is worth factoring into procurement timelines.
