Ready computer.
Safer records.

The current application is a Windows desktop solution. Final installer requirements will be confirmed when the signed release package is supplied.

Windows

Designed for a currently supported 64-bit Windows desktop environment. Windows 11 is the intended launch baseline. macOS is not supported natively.

DATA

Local storage

Employer, employee and payroll records use a local SQLite database. Allow space for PDFs, exports, logs and multiple protected backups.

NET

Internet

Required for website services, final downloads, updates and future authorised HMRC/email/payment connections. Core local records do not need cloud storage.

SAFE

Security

Use supported Windows updates, device encryption, strong Windows access controls, anti-malware protection and tested offline backups.
