How ecosio’s People and Culture Ops Lead unified their HR operations

The Challenge

ecosio, a B2B integration provider, relied on a lightweight HR system that only supported time tracking. Payroll, performance cycles, and compensation reviews were manual and time-consuming, leaving the HR team without visibility into retention and engagement metrics.

The Solution

ecosio picked HiBob for its ability to automate workflows, improve data accuracy, and integrate with existing systems. Implementation finished in 60 days, with Bob integrated into Slack, Notion, payroll, and IT ticketing systems.

The Results

HiBob enabled ecosio to streamline operations, lower manual work, and lift employee engagement and retention. Payroll processing time shrank by 75%, onboarding efficiency improved by up to eight days per hire, and retention climbed 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.
