How the People Operations Lead from ecosio transformed their HR operations

The Challenge

ecosio, a B2B integration provider, depended on a lightweight HR system that only supported time tracking. Payroll, performance cycles, and compensation reviews were manual and time-consuming. The HR team had no visibility into retention and engagement metrics.

The Solution

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

The Results

HiBob allowed ecosio to streamline operations, reduce manual work, and improve employee engagement and retention. Payroll processing time was reduced by 75%, onboarding efficiency improved by up to eight days per hire, and retention increased 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.
