aconso unveils Insights tool for real-time HR data analytics

aconso has launched aconso Insights, a new analytics tool aimed at providing HR teams with real-time access to workforce data and performance metrics.

The introduction of aconso Insights occurs at a time when 54% of global senior HR leaders report increasing pressure to provide measurable evidence of their initiatives' impact. Additionally, 37% of these leaders believe that AI and automation are becoming essential in developing new performance metrics and methods of evaluation.

aconso Insights has been designed to enhance data-driven decision-making within HR departments by enabling the tracking and improvement of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as time to hire and issue resolution times. The tool provides actionable insights into areas including document processing, workflow efficiency, and employee satisfaction.

The tool functions by integrating with widely used business intelligence (BI) platforms, including PowerBI and Tableau, allowing HR teams to work with prepared data collected across aconso's workflows. This integration provides detailed oversight of metrics, including the duration required for contract signatures, the proportion of documents processed manually versus automatically, and the level of delay in obtaining salary approvals. Organisations can define and adapt analytics and reporting to meet their specific business objectives.

According to the company, administrators can activate the plugin directly from the aconso Admin Centre by accessing a new tab where integration with BI platforms and dashboard customisation are managed. The new tool is currently in a pilot phase, with plans to make it available to existing customers later in 2025.

Ulrich Jaenicke, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at aconso, offered his perspective on the strategic importance of HR data:

"KPIs aren't just metrics – they're proof that HR truly drives business success and is a strategic partner within a business. However, it's difficult for many HR teams to prove their impact. That's because many have been managing analytics in silos or relying on intuition when evaluating HR performance. With aconso Insights, we're giving HR teams of all sizes the access and visibility they need to lead decisively, act on insight, and turn people strategy into measurable business outcomes. It's a game-changer for HR."

The software claims to facilitate detailed internal accounting, enable HR teams to monitor workflow performance and provide actionable data to streamline processes and enhance outcomes linked to core business objectives. By bridging data from multiple systems and providing real-time visibility into performance metrics, aconso Insights aims to support HR teams in demonstrating their value to business leadership.

The company states that more than 600 HR teams worldwide currently utilise its products to manage substantial document volumes for their employees. Through its integration approach, aconso seeks to help organisations align human resources functions more closely with broad business goals, utilising data to validate and improve HR strategies.
