People for People

What People for People does

People for People is a private Portuguese HR-technology company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Évora, with an additional office in Almada. It builds and sells InnergyRH, a cloud-based, modular HR management platform organized around three pillars: Administrative Capital Management (contracts, attendance, budgeting, occupational health and safety), Human Capital Management (training, recruitment, competencies, performance evaluation), and an Employee Experience Hub (employee self-service portal, NotifyMe WhatsApp communication, Mind generative-AI chatbot, and ThisPlay internal communications). Supporting modules include RHAnalytics (BI with PowerBI/Qlik integration), Documentos Multi-Uso, Archival (AI-powered document and media management), and Ethic Portal (compliance management). Beyond the software, the company offers payroll processing outsourcing and training services.

The platform is differentiated primarily by native compliance with Portuguese labor legislation, multi-company and multi-sector delegation, and integration with Portuguese public bodies via webservices. AI capabilities span generative AI (Mind chatbot with user-selectable LLM), AI agents (NotifyMe), AI-powered archival and transcription (Archival), and NLP-driven sentiment analysis, with modalities covering text, audio, and multimodal document processing.

Revenue is generated through subscription-based licensing of InnergyRH modules and recurring managed services from payroll outsourcing, with quote-based pricing on annual billing cycles and no publicly disclosed tiers. The company operates a direct sales-led go-to-market targeting Portuguese businesses (SMEs and enterprises), engaging prospects through its website, phone, and email. Marketing relies on the corporate website, newsletter, social media, and analytics tools (Google Analytics, Matomo, Meta Pixel). Geographic operations are confined to Portugal, and the company's only recorded funding event is a 2018 incubation by Centro de Incubação de Évora.
