World class human resource software*

Frontier Software was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 1983.

The objective of the founders was, and continues to be, to create a world-class integrated Human Resource and Payroll solution.

That system, Comprehensive Human Resource Information Solution (CHRIS), supports best practice Human Resource and Payroll processing for more than 1600 clients globally.

The system has evolved into chris21, a contemporary solution that exceeds user expectations in Payroll, Human Resources and Talent Management.

chris21 is extremely flexible and scalable, with client workforce numbers ranging between 100 and 65,000 employees.

Frontier Software clients have come to rely on their easy to use and infinitely adaptable products supported by second to none service.

Since inception Frontier Software has worked closely with their clients to develop a superior HR & Payroll solution for government and the private sector.

chris21 is utilised by organisations across all industry sectors to automate the processes that surround their workforce, ensuring resources are utilised where they are needed most.

Their investment into Human Capital solutions has positioned Frontier Software as one of the industry leaders, exhibiting two of the leading technology components Mobile Enablement (MHR21) and Analytics & Big data in HR (DSH21).  

Also, a recent Navigo report indicates chris21 as the most adopted HRIS system in Australia.

Frontier Payroll Services are the outsourcing arm of this industry leader and are integral to the comprehensive Frontier Software service offerings.  

Clients can select from a bureau, outsourced or fully-managed services along with their desired software modules.

As a specialist HR solution provider, Frontier Software concentrates solely on Human Resources, Talent Management and Payroll.

Its 300+ employees are focused on the development and delivery of their market leading solutions. This approach allows for a practised focus, which is evident in their software solution and exceptional service.

The solution is implemented by Frontier Software staff who are fully trained chris21 specialists with domain expertise in their assigned aspect of the implementation which includes software installation, project management, product training and consulting.  

Frontier Software personnel undertake a rigorous accreditation program annually that ensures they possess superior product knowledge, this approach ensures chris21 implementation projects are delivered on time and within budget.

While the company has grown significantly since inception, its corporate headquarters remain in Melbourne, with offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth as well as New Zealand, India, Singapore, Malaysia and the UK.
