MY BEST TECH: How Andre Eikmeier keeps staff productive with 15Five

Andre Eikmeier is the founder and chief executive of Vinomofo, one of the country’s leading online retailers for wine.

The company has been on a productive streak lately, with compound growth of 30% over the past three months. But keeping the company intact requires strict management, so Eikmeier uses reporting app 15Five to keep everyone organised.

“15Five is a team reporting application, and it’s really simple. The premise is that each team member spends 15 minutes, and each manager five minutes once-a-week in organisation.”

“We tailor questions for each person, and it’s a chance for people to share their wins, some obstacles and if they need help with anything specific. It’s a great way to boost morale and get some data specific for individual projects.”

“It’s one of those clean, simple apps that doesn’t do more than it needs to do. It’s a great little HR app that’s good for small businesses.”
