New York, US & London, UK – 21 July 2023HiBob, the company behind ‘Bob’, the modern HR platform that powers productivity, engagement and retention, is proud to announce that its valued customer, SugarCRM, has been honored with a prestigious Nucleus ROI Award. 

SugarCRM, provider of the award-winning AI-driven CRM platform, achieved an exceptional 226 percent return on investment (ROI) upon the implementation of HiBob’s innovative Human Capital Management (HCM) solution.

The findings were remarkable, demonstrating substantial financial gains and numerous operational improvements.

With HiBob’s HCM in place, SugarCRM successfully reduced its year-over-year software and support costs by more than 15 percent, leading to significant savings. This cost optimization not only enhanced the company’s financial performance but also allowed them to redirect resources to other critical areas of their business.
