Hobasa
How it works

The software is the easy part.
We set it up and run it with you.

Hobasa is a managed service, not a tool we hand you and walk away from. We connect and clean your systems, configure them to your business and your industry, run it day to day, and support you with real people. You get the outcome without building or maintaining anything.

The platform is never the hard part

Connecting messy systems, cleaning years of inconsistent data, mapping it correctly, configuring it to how your business actually works, and then keeping all of it running. That is where most analytics projects stall, especially for businesses without an IT or data team. Hobasa exists to take that entire burden off you, so you get the answers without the project.

The journey

A managed path, with us doing the heavy lifting at every step

Most businesses start with one priority and expand from there.

01

Scope

We learn your business, your systems, and the priority you want to start with.

02

Connect

We securely connect your accounting, payroll, HR, operational and reporting systems, including the ones that do not share data easily.

03

Clean and map

We clean the messy, inconsistent data and map it into one connected, reliable picture.

04

Configure

We configure Hobasa to how your business runs and to your industry's rules.

05

Validate

Finance and domain experts review the setup so the output is trustworthy.

06

Go live

You start seeing the leakage, risk and opportunity across your systems.

07

Run and support

We monitor, alert, review and support continuously, with real people.

08

Expand

Grow into more systems, more depth, and finance, workforce and compliance over time.

The split

We do the heavy lifting. Your team barely lifts a finger.

We handle
  • Connecting your systems, including hard-to-reach ones
  • Cleaning and mapping the messy data
  • Configuring Hobasa to your business and your industry
  • Validating the output
  • Running and monitoring it day to day
  • Supporting you with real people
  • Building custom connections where a system has no easy export
We need from you
  • Access to your systems
  • A short walkthrough of how your business runs
  • Someone to review and act on what we surface

Configured to your business, and your industry

Generic analytics misses what matters in your world. We configure Hobasa to how your business actually runs and to the rules of your industry, and the setup is shaped and reviewed by finance and domain experts, so the output reflects reality, not a template.

The managed run

We don't just set it up. We run it.

Once you are live, Hobasa keeps working. We monitor continuously, surface issues and opportunities as they emerge, route them to the right people, review with you, and keep improving the setup as your business changes. And when you need a person, you get one, not a help center.

Continuous monitoring and alerts

Regular review with you

Real people when you need them

Ongoing improvement as you grow

Integrations

Built to connect what others can't

Many systems do not offer easy data access, especially the regional and vertical software that runs specific industries. Where a system has no simple export, we build a custom connection, so your full picture is not limited to the tools that happen to be easy to integrate.

Trust

Secure from the first connection

Your data is masked and access-controlled from the start

We use least-privilege access to your systems

ISO 27001 – Certified

SOC 2 Type II Certified

Your data is never used to train LLMs, and is not sold or shared

Sub-processor list available on request

Security documentation and sub-processor details available on request.

What to expect

Every business is different, so we scope the timeline with you up front, based on your systems and the state of your data. Most start with a single priority and expand from there, and because we handle the work, you are live far sooner than with a traditional system rollout.

Delivery

What delivery actually looks like

What "live in 2-4 weeks" means

For one priority use case, one entity and a small number of systems: the use case runs on connected, reconciled data with signed-off KPI definitions, your users can ask questions, monitoring is on, and the first reviewed findings are delivered. The clock starts when read-only access and a named owner are in place. Broader scope is planned separately.

What we need from you

Read-only system access, a named owner, a short walkthrough of how the business runs, and time from your finance and HR experts to confirm mappings, decide between conflicting definitions and act on findings.

Configured, not forked

Your KPI formulas and terminology, systems and subsidiaries, rules and thresholds, industry pack and role views - all configured per client. Customisation lives in configuration, not in a fork, so every client receives every product improvement.

The first engagement

A clearly defined start, with written acceptance criteria

Every client starts with one priority use case and agreed deliverables. Scope then expands system by system.

An example first engagement
Priority use case
Payroll-to-GL reconciliation and overtime / unbilled-hours leakage for one legal entity.
Required systems
ERP / general ledger, payroll, time and attendance or HCM. Invoicing optional.
Deliverables
Read-only connections; a reconciled payroll-to-GL model with an exceptions list; signed-off KPI definitions; conversational AI over the use case; monitoring and alerts; and a first report of reviewed findings with evidence.
Acceptance criteria, in writing
  • Control totals reconcile to each source system within the agreed tolerance
  • KPI and metric definitions are signed off by your named owner
  • An agreed set of test questions is answered correctly, with the query behind each figure
  • The agreed number of reviewed findings is delivered with source evidence
  • Monitoring and alerts run on the agreed schedule

Value is tested before you expand - the first engagement either meets these criteria on your data, or it does not count as done.
