How the People Operations Lead at ecosio streamlined their HR operations

The Challenge

With only a lightweight HR system that supported time tracking, ecosio, a B2B integration provider, was managing payroll, performance cycles, and compensation reviews manually. The HR team couldn’t see retention and engagement metrics clearly.

The Solution

To automate workflows, improve data accuracy, and integrate with existing systems, ecosio chose HiBob. Bob was integrated with Slack, Notion, payroll, and IT ticketing systems in just 60 days.

The Results

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