How the People Operations Lead at ecosio streamlined their HR operations

The Challenge

Limited to a basic HR system covering only time tracking, ecosio, a B2B integration provider, processed payroll, performance cycles, and compensation reviews through manual methods. The HR team couldn’t access retention and engagement metrics.

The Solution

For workflow automation, better data accuracy, and seamless integration with current systems, ecosio implemented HiBob. The rollout finished in 60 days, linking Bob with Slack, Notion, payroll, and IT ticketing systems.

The Results

HiBob allowed ecosio to optimize operations, cut down manual work, and amplify employee engagement and retention. Payroll processing sped up by 75%, onboarding became eight days more efficient per hire, and retention expanded by 7.7%.

Bob was able to support ecosio’s rapid growth without the need to substantially increase people operations headcount. We automated almost everything possible [in Bob]. Previously lacking engagement survey and analytics functionality, Bob has given ecosio full visibility into employee sentiment.

FAQs about HiBob for CPOs in midsize companies

Can HiBob replace multiple HR systems?

Yes, HiBob consolidates your entire HR tech stack into one platform. Most CPOs find they can retire 3-5 separate systems—from payroll management to performance tracking—and run everything through Bob. The platform integrates with any remaining specialized tools you need to keep, like DATEV for German payroll. Everything syncs automatically, so you maintain one source of truth without manual data transfers.

What engagement metrics does HiBob track for distributed teams?

HiBob tracks eNPS scores, pulse survey responses, recognition frequency, and participation rates across different locations and work arrangements. The platform shows you engagement trends by department, tenure, location, or any custom segment. CPOs typically see patterns within the first month—like which teams need attention or where remote workers feel disconnected—and can intervene before problems escalate.

Is HiBob configured for German labor law?

Yes, HiBob comes pre-configured for German requirements including MiLoG time tracking, works council protocols, and GDPR compliance. The platform automatically maintains audit trails and generates reports in the format German authorities require. You set it up once with your specific collective agreements and local rules, then it runs automatically in the background while your team focuses on strategic work.
