Case Study: Motion cuts onboarding time from 2 hours to under 30 minutes with AccessOwl

Motion cuts onboarding from 2 hours to under 30 minutes with AccessOwl

Motion, a startup providing an AI-based project management tool, faced a significant challenge with manually onboarding new employees and provisioning their accounts. Co-founder Ethan Yu was spending several hours per hire manually setting up access to approximately 20 different applications, a process that was time-consuming, error-prone, and created compliance issues. To solve this, Motion implemented AccessOwl for access governance and SaaS management.

By using AccessOwl, Motion automated its user onboarding and access request processes through a Slack integration. This reduced onboarding time from two hours to under 30 minutes per employee. The solution also provided a clear audit trail and automated access reviews, ensuring full SOC 2 compliance without needing a dedicated IT team. AccessOwl enabled Motion to save considerable time, improve accuracy, and support its aggressive growth.
