HR and back office for small businesses
Time off, payslips, invoices, bills, expenses and documents, in one calm app. Run it from your phone between jobs. Your team can use it with no training.
The problem
Time off in a spreadsheet. Payslips in a folder of PDFs. Invoices in your email. Receipts in a drawer. Every question from your team means a search, a message and a wait.
Someone edits the wrong row. Balances drift. Nobody is sure who is off next week.
Attachments get lost or sent to the wrong person, and you answer “can you resend mine?” every month.
You find out an invoice is late when you check your bank. Then you write the reminder by hand.
How Glide works
Requests, approvals and reminders land in one place. Approve time off, an expense or a bill with one tap. When the inbox is empty, your admin is done.
Add your company details once. They fill in every invoice and payslip after that.
People join from their phone. Owners, managers and employees each see what they need.
Most routine tasks take three taps or fewer. No training, no manual, no calls to ask how.
Features
Six everyday jobs, done the same simple way: someone asks, someone approves, Glide keeps the record.
Time off
Your team asks for time off on their phone. You approve it from your inbox. Balances and the team calendar update by themselves.
Payslips
Enter each person’s pay, or copy last month. Check the summary. Send. Each person gets a private payslip in the app, and you can see who has opened it.
Invoices
Enter your company details once. Every invoice after that takes a minute, carries the details a UK invoice needs, and shows clearly when it is paid or overdue.
Bills
Take a photo of a supplier bill or upload the PDF. Glide keeps the original, reminds you before it is due, and shows what you owe at a glance.
Expenses
Your team snaps a receipt and adds the amount. Their manager approves it from the inbox. You mark it as paid back. Every receipt is kept.
Documents
Keep company and employee documents in folders the right people can see. Add an expiry date and Glide reminds you 30 days and 7 days before.
Built to be trusted
Admin is about getting the details right. Glide is strict where it matters, so you do not have to be.
A sent invoice or payslip is never edited. Corrections are new records, linked to the original.
Every approval, change and payment shows who did it and when.
Categories and VAT on every invoice, bill and expense, with the proof attached. Export it all at year end.
Who it is for
For the owner who does the admin on a phone, and for a team that has never used HR software.
Shops, studios, trades and agencies that want the admin done without hiring for it.
