How Solvay delivers faster, more intuitive people analytics with Crunchr

Fast delivery


Self-service

The main power of Crunchr is the ability for us to play around with the data and combine it in a dynamic way.

Making people analytics easier to explore

For Solvay’s Performance and Analytics team, delivering insights isn’t only about having access to the right data. The experience of working with that data matters too.

Joana, who manages the Performance and Analytics team at Solvay, highlights the ability to work with data dynamically as one of the biggest advantages of Crunchr.

Rather than relying on static reporting, teams can explore information, combine data in different ways and navigate stories themselves.

Speed without sacrificing user experience

For a global organization like Solvay, speed is another important part of delivering effective people analytics.

Crunchr enables the team to move quickly while giving end users an intuitive experience that allows them to navigate insights independently.

For Joana, replacing that combination wouldn’t be straightforward. Even with general-purpose business intelligence tools such as Power BI, she believes Solvay would struggle to provide the same experience.

Without Crunchr, I think we would give less to our end users in terms of user experience, navigating by themselves on all the stories and the dynamics of it.

The difference isn’t simply how information is presented. It’s the combination of usability, flexibility and the ability to deliver insights quickly.

We would lose that user experience for sure, and also the capability to be fast delivering.

More than a technology vendor

Technology is only part of Solvay’s experience with Crunchr.

Having spent more than ten years implementing HR solutions, Joana sees a clear difference between a traditional software vendor relationship and the way Solvay works with Crunchr.

Support doesn’t end once the platform has been implemented. The Crunchr team continues to collaborate with Solvay as its needs evolve.

It’s not like we felt that after implementation we were alone and driving ourselves. We are always having the support from the team.

That ongoing collaboration has created a relationship that feels less like customer and vendor and more like a shared team.

For the last 10 years implementing solutions in HR, I would say that the partnership and collaboration is totally different from what I’m used to. We used to say that we are part of one team with Crunchr.

People analytics built around the people using it

For Solvay, Crunchr brings together three things that are difficult to achieve with traditional reporting tools: a strong user experience, the flexibility to explore data dynamically, and the speed to deliver insights when they’re needed.

Combined with an ongoing partnership with the Crunchr team, it gives Solvay’s Performance and Analytics team a people analytics environment designed not just for reporting data, but for helping people explore and understand it.
