Folio Office Management information
What is Folio Office Management?
Folio is a self-hosted PHP office management system built for small businesses. Buy once, own it permanently — no monthly fees, no per-employee charges, no cloud dependency. Runs on any standard cPanel shared hosting with PHP 7.4+ and SQLite via PDO — no separate database server required. A first-run setup wizard gets you live in minutes.
What it covers:
Employee records, profiles, contracts and document uploads Leave requests, approvals, balances and a visual leave calendar Payroll processing with statutory deductions and PDF payslips Employee self-service portal — staff can request leave, view payslips and download letters without needing admin access HR messaging and policy document management Job letters, reference letters and bank cover letters from templates Multi-company support from a single install CSV export and PDF generation throughout 4 user roles: Administrator, Accountant, HR, Guest Audit logs and automated backups Full unobfuscated source code included
Folio integrates with CWFMS (also on AlternativeTo) — payroll marked paid in Folio posts automatically as a business expense in CWFMS with no double entry. Both systems work independently without the other. Live demo available at cwfms.com/folio-demo.php — pre-loaded with realistic data across every module.
