Manu T
Finance Manager
5.0

Manu: Hello, my name's Manu. I work as the finance manager for Cyprium Metals Limited here in Australia. We are a company between the range of 50 to 100 people at this stage, and we got the Bob last year and I rate it five. We use Bob basically for the whole employee's lifecycle management, as well as leave tracking purposes, because we've got multiple sites. So that flexibility Bob offers us from the platform and domain and all those sort of things is great. So it's end to end after you onboard an employee to basically offboard them. The flexibility to be able to design the flows and tasks as well as the accessibility of the Bob from any device at anywhere without restricting to the network of the company or the domains. Because we operate multiple sites, that's really handy, and we were looking for something like that and Bob came good with that sort of an option at a very reasonable price. At this stage, there is not much to dislike. I believe they are working on it. Few things which we would like them to improve upon is the ability to integrate with other systems, for example, the ERP, which runs payroll. So if they can integrate with that, the data which is in Bob can be used without having to manipulate manually and bringing it on at Excel, and then try to import it. So in terms of integration, I believe they are working on it, but at this stage, it's not there.
