How Jade Harvey from Montu transformed their HR system

The Challenge

Montu, Australia’s leading medical cannabis company, expanded from 30 to 450 employees within 18 months. With rapid growth across Australia and the UK, the company needed an HCM system to replace spreadsheets and Dropbox, automate HR processes, and support remote operations.

The Solution

Montu implemented Bob for its intuitive interface, real-time analytics, and scalability. The rollout began just two weeks after hiring the first people team member, Jade Harvey.

The Results

Bob became Montu’s central people platform, connecting the HR team and C-suite through shared insights and analytics. It enabled smoother onboarding, better workforce planning, and a more connected company culture.

It’s been an insane journey, from 30 to 450, and there’s still more growth to come. I think having a system that’s enabled us to track all of that has been invaluable. Being able to set up automations and workflows to reduce manual work has been something invaluable to us.
