Novus is one front door to every system you run — ERP, HR, finance, payroll, CRM. Ask a question, complete a task or pull a report across all of them, in plain language. Nothing replaced. Nothing moved. Nothing stored.
This is how Novus works. The site works the same way — type what you want and it takes you there.
For your role
The same front door, asked a different question depending on where you sit.
Owns the numbers
One set of numbers across every entity, that you'd stand behind at the board.
Cost, margin, cash and payroll consolidated across every system, region and currency — live, traceable to source, without a warehouse project or a month-end spreadsheet. Exceptions surface before they become variances.

Which entities are over budget on payroll this quarter, and by how much in GBP?
Owns the technology · and the CIO who runs it
Prove the return on what you've built — without replacing any of it.
Novus sits on top of the estate you already run and makes it deliver. Existing APIs, existing permissions, a self-hosted model on your infrastructure, and a full audit trail. No migration, no new data lake, no vendor lock-in underneath.
How the CTO evaluates NovusAsk
Which systems are people actually using, and which licences are we paying for that nobody touches?
Owns the people
AI in HR that visibly delivers — and managers who can finally see their teams.
Leave, absence, onboarding, policy questions and documents handled in conversation. A live, anonymised read on how people feel, captured as they work rather than once a year. Managers get signal, not a survey.

Also built for
Runs the company
How's the business doing? Ask — and get the answer, not a meeting.
Sales, cash, margin, headcount and the one thing about to go wrong. On demand, in a sentence, from live systems. No dashboard to build, no deck to wait for.
Ask
How did we do last week — sales, cash, margin — and what's moved since Friday?
Runs revenue
The account view your CRM can't give you.
Pipeline alongside what was actually invoiced, at what margin, whether the customer paid on time and what delivery looked like. Everything sales needs to know about an account that lives outside the CRM.
Ask
Which of my top 50 accounts grew revenue but shrank margin this year?
Runs the estate
Fewer logins. Fewer tickets. Nothing ripped out.
One interface across systems you have no intention of consolidating. Existing identity and permissions honoured, adoption you can measure, and a support-ticket queue that finally gets shorter.
Ask
How many HR and finance tickets last month were questions Novus could have answered?
For your people
Booking leave, checking a payslip, submitting expenses, finding a training course, seeing which certifications are due, joining a team challenge. The people who'll open Novus most are the people who never open the ERP at all.
How it works
Novus plugs into the systems you already run through their existing APIs and permissions. No migration, no middleware, no data lake to build.
Anyone types what they need in plain language. Novus works out which system holds the answer, which workflow completes the task, and who has to approve it.
Live analysis across every connected system, returned at whatever level you sit — team, region or group — and traceable back to source.

Use case
Most multinationals run five, eight, ten payroll systems across regions. Bringing that into a single report has meant a monthly manual consolidation or a multi-million build. Novus reads each one where it sits and returns a single, consistent view — in the currency and cut you ask for.
Total payroll cost by country for Q3, in GBP, against budget.
| Country | Q3 cost | vs budget | Headcount |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | £4.82m | +3.1% | 412 |
| Germany | £2.94m | −0.8% | 221 |
| United States | £6.10m | +5.4% | 388 |
| India | £1.37m | −1.2% | 503 |
| Australia | £1.05m | +0.6% | 74 |
Trust & security
Novus reads and analyses live. It never keeps a copy of your data.
Every answer is scoped to what that user can already see in each system.
A self-hosted model on dedicated infrastructure. In-region deployment available.
Every question, answer and action is logged and attributable.
Bring your stack. We'll show you what it looks like in one place.
