How it works

From BambooHR to a live plan in four steps

01

Connect BambooHR

Basqo connects to BambooHR as your HRIS and syncs its data every day. HR keeps working in BambooHR as before.

02

The baseline builds itself

Positions, salaries and the org structure from BambooHR form the baseline. Basqo adds the social charges by country and salary bracket.

03

Plan and approve

Finance plans centrally, or budget owners plan their part. Freely configurable approvals decide which new positions and changes enter the plan.

04

Forecast and reconcile

Every BambooHR change updates the forecast. Monthly payroll actuals show budget vs. forecast vs. actuals, down to the position.

What changes for HR and Finance?

Without Basqo, workforce cost planning usually runs in a spreadsheet next to BambooHR. Finance pulls exports, HR answers data requests, and open roles drift away from the approved budget.

With Basqo, BambooHR data feeds one shared plan. HR and Finance work from the same numbers, and every change in BambooHR shows up in the forecast.

For Finance and FP&A

All cost types per position, including social charges, bonuses and benefits, across entities and currencies, plus variance analysis down to the position, split into FTE-driven and compensation-driven effects.

For HR and People

Fewer data requests from Finance, structured approvals instead of email chains, and more value from the data already maintained in BambooHR.

For Recruiting

Basqo also connects to Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever and many more. Open jobs from the ATS are linked to the approved positions in Basqo, so recruiting stays aligned with the budget.

For department heads

Budget owners plan their own team in Basqo, without Excel skills and without sending files around.

Good to know

Why use Basqo alongside BambooHR?

BambooHR runs HR processes and holds the people data. Basqo is built for the workforce cost plan that Finance signs off: all cost types including social charges by country, several entities and currencies, monthly payroll actuals for reconciliation, variance analysis down to the position and freely configurable approvals. Costs and FTE then go to SAP, Board, Lucanet or any other system. Because Basqo uses BambooHR’s data, the two work together.
