Intuo got founded in 2015 and scaled very quickly from start-up to scale-up. In 2019 our team went from 25 employees to 80. After growing independently for some years, they found a great ally in Unit4 to expand globally, and Intuo was acquired. It has only been onwards and upwards since then. Intuo is now part of Unit4's talent management suite, an ERP provider with its HQ in the Netherlands, to expand their offering of ‘soft’ HR with a product that represents their mission, vision and values. Unit4 intuo is the combination of the people focussed performance management approach of Unit4 Talent Management (formerly known as intuo) with the efficiency of Unit4's core HR processes such as payroll, and time management. As far as the product goes, it’s the same motivated and experienced people that keep developing our platform and the same caring team that looks after our customers. Everything that you see, read or watch with this logo on it, is still made by the team that you have trusted for months and years before.
