PeopleCentral
PeopleCentral is the founding product of A&B Group and Singapore's longest-running HRMS, operated by People Central Pte Ltd. Since 2008 it has served more than 1,000 Singapore companies and 100,000 employees, covering payroll, leave, claims, attendance, appraisals, recruitment, and AI tools in one MOM, CPF, and IRAS compliant platform. It is the foundation that the rest of A&B Group's HR brands (HireCentral, TimeCentral, ReimburseMe, EngageCentral) plug into. PSG pre-approved, multi-year award winner, ISO 27001 certified.
The differentiator
What makes PeopleCentral different.
Most HR systems make you choose: an integrated suite that covers everything but is mediocre at each thing, or a best-of-breed tool that excels at one thing and requires you to integrate four others yourself.
PeopleCentral is the rare third option: an HR OS where the core (payroll, leave, attendance, claims, appraisals) was built and proven over more than 16 years for Singapore compliance, and the specialist tools that sit on top of it (HireCentral for AI recruitment, TimeCentral for attendance, ReimburseMe for expenses, EngageCentral for AI document processing) are each multi-year award winners in their own right.
You get the integration of a suite and the depth of best-of-breed, because the best-of-breed pieces are built by the same company on the same data model. New hires, attendance, expenses, and payroll move between them with no spreadsheet, no re-entry, no integration project.
