Skello aimed to scale efficiently, support millions of daily HR interactions, and empower teams with resilient, high-performing tools.
Every month, the platform processes around 100,000 documents, with huge spikes in activity during the first few days of the month when payroll is distributed.
Today, the company has nearly 400 employees, including a strong development team, and serves 22,000 enterprise clients with 600,000 daily users.
Solution
Skello aimed to scale efficiently, support millions of daily HR interactions, and empower teams with resilient, high-performing tools. Skello uses MongoDB Atlas to power AI features, secure payroll, and scalable search, enabling fast, flexible, and reliable HR solutions. Founded in France in 2016, this fast-growing SaaS provider specializes in HR management solutions for field employees in sectors such as hospitality, retail, healthcare, industry, and services. Today, the company has nearly 400 employees, including a strong development team, and serves 22,000 enterprise clients with 600,000 daily users. As user volumes soared and its client base diversified, the patchwork of systems that once served it well began to strain. “But now we need to make sure that growth can continue in the future.” Processing millions of daily HR transactions—shift swaps, payroll runs, compliance checks, and notifications—required both resiliency and cost control.
Data flow
Business documents, tickets, records, and other operational content stay in MongoDB Atlas Search and MongoDB Atlas, where search indexes or vector embeddings are built and then queried in real time to supply grounded results to applications, assistants, or discovery features. Upstream and downstream integrations include AWS.
Solution architecture
- Storage
- MongoDB Atlas Stores the operational, document, and context data behind Skello's document-heavy operational workflows.
- Serving
- MongoDB Atlas Search Provides relevance-based text retrieval across Skello's documents and application data.
Architecture clues
- The deployment integrates with AWS.
- The solution uses a microservices-based architecture.
- Vector search is part of the retrieval layer for semantic or generative-AI use cases.
Evidence from the source
“But now we need to make sure that growth can continue in the future.”
“It ticks a lot of boxes on our side. It's efficient, it works really well, we have a really good response time, and we don't have to worry about the synchronization of the search engine versus the database—MongoDB handles all that stuff.”
“Now we have a crazy amount of data,”
“What was built in the early stages of Skello was very good at the time and helped the company grow,”

Scoring methodology
How scores are calculated
Customer Reference Value measures usefulness as a customer reference. Evidence Confidence measures the quality and traceability of available evidence, not independent verification.
Customer reference value100/100
- Problem clarity20/20Measures whether the customer's operational problem is specific enough to compare.
- Implementation depth25/25Rewards named components, data flow, integrations, and architecture detail.
- Outcome specificity20/20Measures whether the reported benefit is concrete rather than a generic claim.
- Quantified impact25/252 metrics describe measurable impact.
- Deployment scale10/10Rewards evidence of a live or scaled deployment and meaningful integration scope.
Evidence confidence89%
- Source authority20/25The main evidence is an official vendor-published customer story.
- Claim traceability21/2510 of 12 key fields link to a named source.
- Direct evidence20/204 direct source quotes retained.
- Date provenance10/10The publication date comes from the source page or publisher.
- Source transparency8/101 source reference document publisher, URL, authority, retrieval, and supported fields.
- Implementation specificity10/10Rewards source-backed components, data flow, quantified impact, and a specific outcome.
