BetFred joint founder and Peninsula Business Services owner, Peter Done, is set to invest £1.6 million in the development and enhancement of his hronline App. 16,000 people currently use the App. Peter Done originally invested £2.3 million in the development of the best of breed HR and Absence Management system specifically for iPhone and Android.

Peter Done said today, “I’m a betting man and I knew I was backing a winner when I came up with the idea of hronline and we have over 16,000 businesses using it. I want to make it even better, I have the best IT and HR people developing and working on it. I am hiring another 20 people over the next 12 months to work on it. I want all businesses needing this app, it is the only complete Absence and HR system dedicated for iPhone and best of all it’s free, every business should be using it – it’s a no brainer.”

Done continues, “Employees off sick cost businesses millions of pounds a year and it’s even worse when it’s non-genuine. My hronline App gives bosses the tools they need to get on top and manage it proactively. You are also assured the advice you receive is from qualified HR experts at Peninsula Business Services, so if they are pulling a sickie then we will tell you how to deal with the worker – it’s as simple as that.”

Done concludes, “For an employer the hronline App makes it very simple for you to action key HR activities from holiday approval, sickness, employment advice and lateness recording. If you are a business looking for a HR Management system this might be just the thing for you. If it doesn’t work for your business then send me an email and let me know why, I’ll personally see if we can add your suggestions into a future version – I am open to suggestions.”

As a business owner you can download and use the App for free via iTunes.
