On today’s blog we give you a CEO’s perspective on 羞羞视频.
The interview held by 聽was originally posted on (click 聽for the full version).
羞羞视频聽provides a simple, beautiful and connected HR software for small businesses. 羞羞视频 was born out of a personal frustration for how complex, time consuming and ineffective it was to maintain good HR practices in small businesses.
羞羞视频 offers various HR features like a central employee directory, time off booking, smart notifications and native iOS and Android apps. 羞羞视频 has the flexibility to suit your needs鈥娾斺奻rom time off management to expense reporting. 羞羞视频 is built around a 鈥渉ub-and-spoke鈥 model. A simple core for free with all the basic things that small businesses need and then the App Store allows businesses to extend the platform with native 羞羞视频 and best-in-class third-party extensions. Apps are connected so everything is in-sync and works together. 羞羞视频 is refreshing, easy to use and automates a lot of your HR processes. Essentially鈥娾斺娦咝呤悠 is an HR platform that grows as your business grows.
The team spent 5 years working together before鈥娾斺奲uilding tech startups like聽. We always felt that the HR admin could have been done faster and better and the solutions always felt badly designed or sometimes even entirely unworkable. After a while鈥娾斺妛e decided we鈥檇 build something ourselves.
Businesses currently need to choose between antiquated full-featured HR software platforms or narrow best of breed, modern solutions. With 羞羞视频 this compromise isn鈥檛 necessary. 羞羞视频鈥檚 biggest differentiator is its hub & spoke model, which makes a simple UX and powerful features possible together. Companies start with a simple, beautiful core and can add on the apps from the 羞羞视频 app store as and when they need features.
With 羞羞视频, companies save weeks of time on HR admin through the automation of simple tasks and elimination of data re-entry. Through the hub and spoke model, companies also have a single place to look at what鈥檚 happening across the whole people function of their business.
Most of the companies using 羞羞视频 have between 10 and 100 employees鈥娾斺妔ome have up to 150. Naturally for a software companies鈥娾斺奱 lot of our early adopters have a digital angle to their business鈥娾斺夾gencies鈥娾斺奡tartups鈥娾斺奃esign Companies etc.
All our customers use 羞羞视频 for storing their people records and managing their time off. 羞羞视频 means they can say throw away their spreadsheets and track everything in a simple online portal鈥娾斺妛e automate a bunch of stuff in 羞羞视频 and ultimately save companies a lot of time. Some stats say business owners spend 4鈥6 weeks per year on HR admin鈥娾斺奿t鈥檚 crazy.
The second (and important as our differentiator) thing we do is through our app store. The problem in HR is that there is a huge long tail of features鈥娾斺妉et鈥檚 call it 100 features. Every company wants 2鈥3 features聽from the 100, but definitely don鈥檛 want all 100. Most HR software platforms have been on a feature adding spree鈥娾斺奲ut building all the features is very difficult鈥娾斺妔o maybe they have half of them. Their systems are hard to use鈥娾斺奱nd don鈥檛 do everything companies want. With our hub and spoke model we have an app store where we add native features built by us as well as third party extensions. Businesses can browse through it and add just the features they know they want. They essentially get a personalised, fully connected HR platform with a great user experience. In addition to our core, the most popular apps on 羞羞视频 are our expenses app and HR reports app.
Our biggest challenge was building Time Off. Time off is *super super *complicated when you get into the detail and inter-dependencies. We totally underestimated how difficult it was to build and it took us months longer than we had expected. On the upside鈥娾斺妛e now have鈥娾斺奍 think鈥娾斺妎ne of the best Time Off apps (feature)鈥娾斺奿n terms of functionality depth and UX.
On the technical side鈥娾斺娦咝呤悠 is built in聽聽with a聽聽back-end. We鈥檙e huge fans of react because of the simplicity in pushing updates to the web, iOS and Android at the same time or in quick succession.
We love聽聽for customer support.
The company are huge users of聽鈥娾斺奊oogle Docs, Analytics, Hangouts etc. Real-time collaboration makes everything so much faster internally and their products are awesome.
We love聽聽to share designs and get feedback on them.
聽is awesome to manage all our finances.
