How the Senior Manager of People Operations at Kustomer transformed their HR operations

The Challenge

Kustomer experienced rapid growth and completed an acquisition, resulting in teams across the US and Spain. Onboarding, reviews, and reporting were manual, slow, and scattered across systems—making it difficult to offer a consistent experience or obtain workforce insights.

The Solution

Kustomer selected Bob to digitize onboarding, automate performance reviews, and combine people data across all sites. They integrated Bob with existing tools and launched 360° feedback, goal setting, and manager access to important metrics.

The Results

Through Bob, Kustomer executes consistent review cycles and onboarding throughout all teams. HR gains time, managers observe performance directly, and staff are onboarded with precision and structure from day one.

There are many platforms that specialize in one specific area of HR, whether performance or onboarding. We wanted an innovative platform that did a bit of everything, supported our overall goals, and would grow with us.
