Corporate Profile

Launched in 2012, Hoiio began its journey as a cloud communication service provider but over time, expanded its cloud solutions to include compliance, marketing and human resource management.

Their mission is to increase business productivity with cloud technologies with focus on simplicity and automation. For simplicity, each Hoiio App is modular by design and only automates one task. Connected apps can then work together to automate multiple tasks.

This app engine lays the foundation for the creation of small, modular apps that can connected to one another.
