How ecosio’s People and Culture Ops Lead streamlined 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, and the HR team lacked visibility into retention and engagement metrics.

The Solution

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

The Results

HiBob enabled ecosio to streamline operations, cut manual work, and boost employee engagement and retention. Payroll processing time fell by 75%, onboarding efficiency improved by up to eight days per hire, and retention rose 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.
