Your HR and L&D data.From A to B – in style.

octo.taxi syncs your learning, performance, recruiting, and core HR data from HR platforms like Cornerstone OnDemand into a modern analytics platform – with built-in dashboards, a search that answers, alerts, org charts, and a full REST API. No BI license required.

  • GDPR compliant
  • Works council ready
  • Data stored in Frankfurt, Germany

Your data, from A to B – in style.

That's the idea behind the name. A taxi takes you where you want to go – direct, safe, and comfortable, no questions asked. octo.taxi does the same for your HR, L&D, and performance data: it moves freely from your HR system to your dashboards, your BI tools, your own API – securely, EU-hosted, and without the white-knuckle CSV exports. You name the destination. We handle the ride.

Meet Tentaclemore Shipping

Every screenshot and clip on this page is the real product, running on Tentaclemore Shipping – a fictional ocean shipping group with 8,888 generated employees in 26 countries.

  • Start the day with a briefing

    Your start page reads like a briefing: the day in sentences, three things for today, what is due next, and what changed since your last visit. Every figure shows how old its data is.

  • Ten built-in dashboards

    Compliance Cockpit, Certificates & Qualifications, L&D Operations & Impact, Classroom Training & Resources, Team Cockpit, the HRBP and CHRO views, Recruiting Pipeline, Onboarding & First 90 Days, and System & Data Quality – ready after the first sync. Copy one to make it your own.

  • A search that answers

    People, trainings, certificates, places, and classroom sessions in one box. A typo? octo.taxi asks "Did you mean …?" and only offers suggestions it has checked.

  • Ask in plain English

    Ask octo answers with aggregates and the chart to match – never with a named person, and only for groups of at least five people. Pin the answer to a dashboard.

  • The whole organization at a glance

    The org chart loads level by level, zooms and pans, filters by department, and works with the keyboard and on phones.

  • Alerts that tap you on the shoulder

    Put an alert on a figure, for example overdue training at one site. When it fires, the bell shows a notification – and you get an email if you want one.

  • Privacy you can show your works council

    A minimum group size for every figure, protection against small groups, an individual data policy per role, and audit logs – set per organization, enforced on every path.

  • Your data, wherever you need it

    A REST API that mirrors Cornerstone 1:1, a simplified API, an OData feed for Power BI and Excel – and the connector's API catalog right in the search, for admins.

Tentaclemore Shipping is made up: the company, its people, and its numbers are generated for this page. Any resemblance to a real company is coincidental.

Everything your HR and L&D data needs

Fifteen tools, one platform – and every one of them is live today. No roadmap promises, no BI license, no consulting project.

  • Near-real-time sync

    Your Cornerstone data, replicated through Cornerstone's own data export API. Delta sync moves only what changed – and every view shows how old its data is.

  • Ten built-in dashboards

    Compliance Cockpit, Certificates & Qualifications, L&D Operations & Impact, Classroom Training & Resources, Team Cockpit, the HRBP and CHRO views, Recruiting Pipeline, Onboarding & First 90 Days, and System & Data Quality – ready after the first sync, with only the figures your systems really deliver.

  • Your Day

    A start page that reads like a briefing: the day in sentences, three things for today, what is due next, and what changed since your last visit.

  • A search that answers

    People, trainings, certificates, places, and classroom sessions in one box – with "Did you mean", checked suggestions, and quick answers for math, currencies, and dates.

  • Ask octo

    Ask a question in plain English and get the answer as an aggregate with its chart – never a named person, always groups of at least five. Pin it to a dashboard.

  • AI dashboard builder

    Describe the dashboard you need. octo.taxi picks the tiles and filters from your own catalog – you review it and save it.

  • Interactive org chart

    Your whole reporting structure, loading level by level: zoom, expand, filter by department – fully keyboard-operable and smooth on phones.

  • Alerts and notifications

    Put an alert on a figure – for example overdue training at one site – and get a notification under the bell, plus an email if you want one.

  • Data Explorer

    Browse and filter the synced tables, save queries, and export to CSV – always within the data policy of the person asking.

  • REST API and OData feed

    A 1:1 Cornerstone mirror (swap the base URL, keep your code), a simplified API with clean names, and an OData feed for Power BI and Excel.

  • No-code endpoint builder

    Build your line: drag tables and columns into your own REST endpoint, preview it live, and publish it – including point-in-time (asOf) queries.

  • Privacy by design

    k-anonymity, small-group protection, an individual data policy per role, two-factor sign-in, and full audit logs. Works council ready, data stored in Frankfurt.

  • Your brand, your language

    Import logo, colors, and fonts from your website, in light and dark mode. 11 interface languages, and installable on the home screen of a phone.

  • Training portfolios

    Turn your live catalog into branded PDF and HTML training portfolios – filtered by language, subject, or audience, with deep links into Cornerstone.

  • Portal Health Check

    One screen: a full inventory and module-activation map of your Cornerstone portal. The data-backed companion to a consulting health check.

How it works

Four steps. No consulting project. No IT ticket.

  1. 1. Get in touch

    Drop a quick note. We come back within one business day.

  2. 2. Onboarding

    Short call – we understand your setup, you ask the questions that matter.

    We bring your Cornerstone data into octo.taxi – securely, EU-hosted.

Built for every HR stakeholder

Whether you're presenting to the board, tracking compliance, or connecting systems – octo.taxi speaks your language.

  • CHRO & HR Leadership

    “Need board-ready workforce insights without waiting for IT.”

    The CHRO Quarter View, the org chart, and headcount trends – always up to date, always ready for the board.

  • L&D & Talent Management

    “Tracking training completion and goal progress across thousands of learners is slow.”

    The Compliance Cockpit, Certificates & Qualifications, and L&D Operations & Impact dashboards show completion, overdue training, expiring certificates, and learning hours in near real time.

  • People Analytics & Reporting

    “Exporting CSVs, cleaning data, and building reports from scratch every month.”

    Data Explorer with saved queries and CSV export, BI access via the OData feed, and Ask octo for instant answers in plain English.

  • Line managers

    “I only hear about overdue training when the audit is next week.”

    The Team Cockpit shows your own reporting line: who is due, whose qualification expires, and how the new people are doing – and alerts tell you before it is late.

  • HR IT & Integrations

    “Building custom integrations against Cornerstone's API is slow and rate-limited.”

    A full REST API (1:1 CSOD mirror + simplified V2), an OData feed and configurable rate limits. Drop-in replacement – change the base URL, keep your code.

  • DPO, Legal & Works Council

    “Need assurance that HR analytics meet GDPR and Betriebsrat requirements.”

    k-anonymity thresholds, small-group protection, field masking, an individual data policy, query guardrails, and audit logging, with data stored in Frankfurt. Works council ready by design.

What we believe

Your HR data is a human right.

Not a license tier. Not an upsell. Not a renewal lever.

Most platforms charge you to read your own data. Some charge nearly half the license fee just for API access. We think that is broken.

octo.taxi is built on the opposite principle. Your data flows through a two-way door – in from your HR system, out to wherever you need it. Every plan includes full API access. Pricing scales with how much you use, not whether you can use it.

When you decide to leave, you take everything with you. Always free. No exit toll. That is the deal.

It's also why we named it octo.taxi. A taxi never owns you – it takes you where you decide to go, then waits for the next call. Your data should travel the same way: freely from A to B to C, comfortable and secure, with you always naming the destination.

  • API access in every tier

    Read, sync, and integrate from day one. Higher usage scales pricing – access never does.

  • Open formats, portable exports

    Standard, documented schemas. Your warehouse, your BI tool, your AI agents – all welcome.

  • Free exit, always

    One-time export to leave the platform never costs extra. Switching should be a two-way door.

Hands down, fair pricing.

Fair pricing by company size. The bigger you are, the less per employee.

Early bird prices – won't last, act fast!

Same support and full API access in every tier. Your data is never an upsell.

Optional extras – the same on every plan

  • White label - pure white label without octo.taxi branding in the app (no "Powered by octo.taxi") - for organizations and for partners (resellers, agencies) offering it under their own brand.
  • History - longer person history and trend figures beyond the included periods (person history 30 days, trend figures 3 years), set by Octily. Future-dated changes from Cornerstone (effective dating) are always included, not part of the add-on.
  • Sensitive data modules - data such as long-term leave stays off by default. Octily switches a module on only when your organization asks for it in writing.
  • Usage statistics - daily usage counts of your Octily customizations on your Cornerstone portal, switched on by Octily on your written instruction.
