FAQ

As your business grows, so do your people and your work. Today, with AI and tools like Zapier, it's easier than ever to make your job easier. But as more tools connect and use your data, the complexity of managing the tools increases. On top of that, GDPR requires us to know what data you have, where it's going, and why you need it. So let's dive into why ToolHive exists.

Tools

Let's start with an easy one: Lots of tools. We have seen a lot of companies with a lot of tools. Tracking what goes where, who is responsible for what, who maintains what. It can be a lot. So that is what ToolHive is focused on. With ToolHive we try to answer questions like:

  • What tools do we have?
  • Who does maintenance or support for the Tool?
  • What data does a tool contain?

By answering these questions you get better overview of your tools and your company. Spend less time on figuring these out and more time on your products and customers.

GDPR

Tools are everywhere. From your accounting software to your PIN terminal, even your email client is a tool. Because it contains data. GDPR requires us to make a list of these tools and what data they contain. When we look at GDPR, we need to answer some questions about the type of data stored in these tools, such as:

  • What data does is contain?
  • Why do we need this data?
  • How long do we store it?
  • How do we tell the user we store the data?

Growing your business

As your business grows, you are likely to have more employees. That means more tools, more data, and more things to manage. So instead of spending your time managing it all, let us take some of the load off your shoulders. With things like access requests, approvals, and more.

Certifications

Certain certifications require you to create many rules, protocol, and more. They also require you to have visibility into your data. ToolHive helps you do this by providing the visibility you need to ask questions about your tools.
