How Jade Harvey from Montu transformed their HR system

The Challenge

Montu, the leading medical cannabis company in Australia, grew from 30 to 450 employees in just 18 months. With quick growth across Australia and the UK, the company needed an HCM platform to replace spreadsheets and Dropbox, automate HR processes, and support remote operations.

The Solution

Montu implemented Bob for its intuitive design, real-time insights, and scalability. The rollout began two weeks after the first people team member, Jade Harvey, joined the company.

The Results

Bob became Montu’s central HR hub, aligning the people team and C-suite through shared analytics and data. It supported smooth onboarding, smarter workforce planning, and a stronger 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.
