Employee Operating System

Six countries. One dashboard. 770+ employees unified — and Sage replaced entirely.

A global advisory firm was running six separate HR systems across six countries — with no visibility between them. When an employee moved regions, their record disappeared. We built the infrastructure to fix that permanently.

The Brief

A global advisory firm operating across 6 countries needed to replace 6 disconnected regional Sage instances with a single unified employee operating system. We mapped the full data architecture, recommended replacing Sage entirely, migrated the full database, and built the platform on a dedicated Bubble server. MVP live in 8 weeks.

The Problem

The firm was running a separate Sage instance for each of its 6 regional offices — with no shared visibility between them. When employees moved between countries, their records disappeared. No one at headquarters could see contracts, blockers, or performance across the full organisation.

What they asked for. What we recommended instead.

Original brief

A global advisory firm operating across 6 countries needed to replace 6 disconnected regional Sage instances with a single unified employee operating system. We mapped the full data architecture, recommended replacing Sage entirely, migrated the full database, and built the platform on a dedicated Bubble server. MVP live in 8 weeks.

Our recommendation

Original brief was to fix the Sage integration — make the 6 regional systems talk to each other. We mapped the full data architecture and recommended replacing Sage entirely. Connecting 6 broken systems would have created a slightly more connected version of the same problem. The only real fix was one unified system built from scratch.
