Use cases
HRIS use cases, for every role in the company
Autessa Homebase is used by HR administrators, HR partners, managers, executives and every employee, each with their own view of the same record. Here is what each of them does in it, and the situations it fits.
By role
What each person does in Homebase
HR administrators
Run all of HR from one workspace
Own the records, the rules and the settings. Set up policies, cycles, checklists, trainings and the handbook, and see everything that needs attention on Home.
HR partners
Support the departments you cover
HR partners see and act on the people in their departments: records, job changes, reviews, learning and the pay review, without access to the rest of the company.
Managers
Everything about your team, without asking HR
Anyone with direct reports gets My team automatically: who is out, reviews to write, onboarding in progress, 1:1s and promotions.
Executives
See the shape of the company
Executives see reports and dashboards, review cycles and calibration, the promotion board and job changes, with pay and review access set by HR.
Employees
Your own HR, on your own Home
Check balances and book time off, write reviews and check in on goals, finish trainings, confirm policies, find documents and benefits, or just ask the assistant.
By company and industry
Where Homebase fits
Startups getting off spreadsheets
The first HR hire inherits a spreadsheet of names and a shared drive of PDFs. Setup installs starter policies, checklists and trainings; the import brings everyone in with their managers; and the handbook templates turn into real policies.
Growing companies adding managers
New managers need to approve time off, run 1:1s and write reviews well. Homebase gives them My team automatically, with guides for managers and the evidence for each review beside the questions.
Distributed and multi-location teams
Locations carry time zones and their own holidays, requests skip the right days for each person, and the team calendar shows the whole company or one team.
Compliance-minded companies (SOC 2 and beyond)
Required trainings assign and renew themselves, policies are acknowledged one by one with versions, and evidence exports as CSV or syncs with Vanta.
Companies that already run on Autessa
Homebase is the people record for every Autessa app: IT steps open IT Desk requests, benefits are requested through IT Desk, practice runs in Roleplay, and app roles are managed from one grid.
Teams with high turnover in seasonal roles
Contractor onboarding and offboarding checklists, contract-end reminders, rehire and convert to employee keep each cycle of hiring orderly.
FAQ
Questions about who uses Homebase
Who is Autessa Homebase for?
Homebase is for companies that want one HRIS for records, time off, performance, onboarding and compliance training, from a first HR hire to an HR team with partners by department. Every employee and manager uses it too.
Do managers need to be set up separately?
No. Anyone with someone reporting to them is a manager in Homebase automatically and gets My team.
Can Homebase work for a one-person HR team?
Yes. When HR is a single administrator, they act as HR on their own record too, and starter content means very little has to be built.
