About Hello Human

Founded in 2017, Hello Human has been dedicated to assisting businesses in developing products and platforms that address genuine customer needs. Instead of proposing lofty strategies with limited feasibility, they prioritise practical, actionable solutions. Their guiding principle is to add tangible value, and they work closely with business teams to ensure they can seamlessly take over once their direct involvement concludes. 

Their overarching vision is to empower businesses to consistently create, optimise, automate, and deliver enduring value.

How They Help

At the heart of their approach is the principle of being industry-agnostic. This signifies their ability to venture into unfamiliar business terrains, adopting a fresh ‘beginner’s mindset’. By doing so, they effectively sidestep entrenched viewpoints of “that’s just how it’s always been” and pivot to embracing innovative methods, technologies, and processes to tackle complex challenges. 

They incorporate human-centred design (HCD) methodologies, best practices in product ownership, and cutting-edge development tools. Their aim is to empower and equip internal teams, ensuring they sustain and own their solutions for the long haul. 

Working with MLA, they researched the entire red-meat supply chain. Once they had identified the biggest pain points and problems to solve, they selected a platform to digitise a traditionally paper-based process of moving cattle. Through constant user testing, concept testing, and multiple rounds of development, they increased digital cattle movements by 600%, drastically improving the traceability throughout the entire supply chain. 

Working with CommSec, they embedded new design processes and systems for use throughout their web, mobile, and admin teams. This new process saw an immediate efficiency increase of 35% and a dramatic improvement in consistency and usability throughout all of their applications. 

Working with Fame & Partners, they created a new on-demand manufacturing platform that could handle 140 million different combinations of custom clothing. This platform also improved the way clothing was designed, merchandised, sold, and manufactured through an optimised manufacturing process and improved documentation and education within the factory. These improvements led to an increase in conversions by 30% and a decrease in time-to-manufacture by 200%.
