Banyan Software, a leading acquirer and permanent home for enterprise software businesses, is pleased to announce the acquisition of HR4 Ltd., an all-in-one HR and compliance platform purpose-built for the automotive dealership industry.

Founded in 2017 by Heather Macpherson, a visionary leader in HR technology, HR4 streamlines hiring and workforce management, reduces turnover, addresses skill gaps, and ensures compliance through deep industry expertise, automation, and seamless integrations. The platform addresses the entire employee lifecycle of industry-specific HR needs, including scheduling, time tracking, onboarding, recruiting, compensation management, performance management, forms, workflows, data-driven reports, and centralized employee records. HR4 provides a scalable solution supporting dealerships of all sizes, from single-location operators to large dealership groups.

  • HR4 has built an exceptional platform to attract, onboard, train and retain talent at auto dealerships. It’s a simple and more cost effective platform that streamlines and replaces several disparate technology tools, and makes life easier for dealerships to find and grow their teams. We are grateful to be HR4’s permanent home, and excited to support the company’s already rapid growth.”

    Tristan Jordan, Operating Partner, Banyan Software

  • HR4 was born out of a real need I saw firsthand in the auto industry: better tools to manage people, stay compliant, and reduce the pain of high turnover. I’m incredibly proud of the team and the platform we’ve built, and I’m excited to partner with Banyan to keep scaling our impact. Their long-term mindset and commitment to our customers and employees make them the right home for HR4
