About Hubbing LATAM

Hubbing Latam is a specialized transportation company that excels in transport operations. Their expertise lies in simplifying cargo transportation by applying specialized knowledge and cutting-edge technology in the Latin American region. 

The company is responsible for systematically, optimally, and efficiently providing road freight transport services, considering documentary, operational, functional, and geographical aspects.

Why company choose PeopleForce

Gabriela joined the team with previous experience using some automation programs (such as SAP and RH Pro), but processes were not configured, and no program was utilized within the Hubbing LATAM company. Therefore, the decision was made to choose PeopleForce, and our platform became the first experience for the Hubbing LATAM team in creating, optimizing, and automating HR processes.

Hubbing LATAM’s key challenges

The company faced significant challenges in its HR processes, primarily relying on outsourcing for hiring, onboarding, and other functions. This led to:

• A lack of internal process structure and the need for effective creation and management of all aspects related to HR from scratch.
• Limited internal management control over the hard side of the platform.
• Reliance on external consulting firms for various HR functions.
• Lack of a streamlined process from basic search to onboarding.

The key challenges revolved around a fragmented approach to HR, prompting the need for comprehensive internal processes and improved automation within an all-in-one HR platform.
