About saas.group

saas.group is a fast-growing portfolio company that owns and operates more than 20 independent software brands. The company’s business model revolves around empowering these brands to operate autonomously while benefiting from centralized support in areas such as HR. As the company scales, having a holistic view of people-related data becomes critical. This perspective is essential for making strategic business decisions that align with saas.group’s growth objectives.

The Challenge

Gosia Polubinska, Head of HR at saas.group, faced a unique challenge. With more than 20 companies operating independently, collecting and analyzing people data across the group was becoming increasingly complex. Before implementing peopleIX, Gosia was reviewing her people data in HR tools such as BambooHR for operational HR tasks and CultureAmp for employee engagement and performance measurement. However, even though these tools were connected via API, they didn’t communicate well with each other. This resulted in fragmented data and missed opportunities for deeper insights.

Fragmented data across multiple tools

HR data was siloed in different systems, making it difficult to analyze and gain a comprehensive view of the workforce.

Limited cross-company insights

Each brand operated independently, and while individual data was available, there was no way to effectively consolidate it for strategic decision-making.

Reporting and analysis inefficiencies

With data scattered across tools, reporting was slow and lacked the depth required to support informed decisions.

The Decision

In search of a more unified, data-driven solution, Gosia turned to peopleIX. The goal was clear: streamline HR data across the organization into a single platform and gain actionable insights that would help guide business decisions. What attracted Gosia to peopleIX was its ability to centralize data, provide deep analytics, and deliver real-time insights into key metrics along the employee lifecycle, such as turnover risk and retention.

The Implementation

The peopleIX implementation was a seamless process. Given the complex structure of the saas.group, Gosia’s team initially rolled out the platform to a selected group of HR colleagues, including her HRBPs and Talent Acquisition Partners. peopleIX’s advanced permissions model and flexible dashboard configurations now allow the team to tailor the platform to their specific needs across the different brands.

By 2024, the platform was fully implemented and Gosia’s HR team now had access to real-time insights across all +20 companies, with the ability to drill down into the data by company, department, and even specific metrics such as diversity, gender pay gap, and attrition rate. Flexible API feature allowed saas.group to connect peopleIX to other business tools adding HR KPIs to their dashboards.

"The implementation was quick, and peopleIX’s ability to give us customized views of data for each brand made a huge difference in how we analyze and use the information."
