How the Head of People from Vita Mojo centralized their HR platform

The Challenge

Vita Mojo was using multiple point solutions for HR, performance, and analytics, which caused data silos and admin overload. As a fast-scaling business, they required one platform to centralise data, boost visibility, and support strategic people decisions.

The Solution

Vita Mojo replaced several tools with Bob to oversee performance, analytics, onboarding, and engagement. They configured 360° reviews, leveraged people analytics for DEI insights, and built a centralised hub for all employee data and updates.

The Results

With Bob, Vita Mojo runs reviews, monitors KPIs, and oversees onboarding in one place. Employees are more connected, recognised, and supported—wherever they work—while teams make faster, data-driven decisions.

Over time, what has really impressed me about Bob is the data. I’m all about analytics—about understanding what’s happening with the business. We take our KPI dashboards to our Board to understand department by department what’s happening. Because I’m so data-oriented, I wanted quality data, and that’s what other tools couldn’t provide.
