Empowering better decision making through data insights and Custom Software Development
"Solentive worked collaboratively with QHR, to combine our needs of creating a visually compelling and aesthetically appealing front-end, with the complex data sets and algorithms required to generate insight. The solution has been created with the future in mind, and will "learn" from our clients' data to help them and future clients to make better workforce decisions."

Challenge
Quantitative HR (QHR), Australia’s leading Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) consultancy firm, helps its clients make smarter workforce decisions; by sharing market insights, predictions, and modelling on client’s future workforce requirements
QHR identified an opportunity to pivot their business model, by evolving their existing consulting practice into a SaaS based application offering
They wanted to bring a data rich portal to the market which would complement, and over time replace, their existing service offering
Their existing manual, Excel-based solution was time consuming, and difficult to overlay external information against a client’s data, so showing benefits to customers was difficult
The complexity of existing modelling impacted their clients’ ability to utilise the insights gained on an ongoing basis, and the consulting heavy process was a barrier to onboarding customers at scale
QHR sought to create rich, intuitive user experience, empowering customers to model different scenarios and utilise the tool to make more informed workforce decisions
Approach
Through a highly collaborative approach, a cloud-based application was developed, that provides organisations with a guided implementation of their client’s Strategic Workforce Planning process
Solentive and QHR designed and developed new architecture, algorithms and logic, that would enable users to load employee workforce data used by the system to calculate the current workforce supply, predict future demand, and perform gap analysis
The new application was designed to utilise principles of decision sciences, predictive analytics, and talent management, to build models for organisations to optimise workforce readiness and composition
Outcomes
The development of eQ8 provides QHR with a unique platform to offer the market, and provides them with a competitive advantage
QHR can scale their business beyond consultancy with the introduction of a new revenue stream
An accelerated SWP journey, means QHR’s clients see results faster and ensures sustainability and success for organisations
Clients can be proactive in taking steps to ensure that their workforce can meet the demands of their organisation, now and into the future
