Intuo

Intuo, now part of Unit4, developed an integrated talent enablement platform designed to replace traditional annual evaluation cycles. Founded in 2013 in Ghent, Belgium, by Tim Clauwaert, Gilles Mattelin, and Philip De Smet, the company aimed to address the performance management needs of a modern, project-driven workforce. Initially focused on training management, the founders expanded into the broader market of cloud-based HR solutions.

The company's platform provides tools for continuous performance management, employee engagement tracking, and learning management. Key features include 360-degree feedback, recognition tools, frequent engagement surveys, agile objectives, and learning management, all supported by dashboarding and behavioral analytics. This approach allows business leaders to develop talent through continuous conversations and real-time performance tracking, fostering a culture of peer-to-peer feedback and career ownership. The business model is primarily subscription-based, with pricing per user that varies depending on the size of the business.

Intuo experienced rapid growth, doubling its business year-over-year and attracting clients such as Hays, BMW, Verisure, and Brussels Airport. After securing over $1 million in funding from investors including PMV and Telenet Kickstart, Intuo was acquired by Unit4, a global enterprise applications company, in March 2019. The acquisition was a strategic move for Unit4 to enhance its Human Capital Management (HCM) portfolio by integrating Intuo's technology. Following the acquisition, Tim Clauwaert continued to lead Intuo's international growth as part of Unit4.
