HubDrive UK: HubDrive HR Platform for Microsoft Dynamics 365

The UK Microsoft Solution Partner for HubDrive Implementation, Support and Development

HubDrive is a Microsoft-native HR platform built specifically for Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform. If your organisation is already invested in Dynamics 365, HubDrive provides a structured HR management framework inside the Microsoft ecosystem — keeping HR data, workflows, reporting, and governance aligned to the same platform you already use.

In the UK, HubDrive is delivered through specialist partners. DynamicsHub (Dynamics Hub) is the UK Solution Partner for HubDrive, providing implementation, configuration, customisation, development, training, and ongoing UK-based support.

HubDrive is not supported directly by the vendor in the UK market. Your HubDrive success depends on the delivery partner you choose. DynamicsHub provides the UK delivery layer that turns HubDrive into a fully adopted HR operating system — aligned to your organisational structure, internal controls, reporting needs, and HR governance.

If you are evaluating HubDrive in the UK, you’re in the right place.

What Is HubDrive?

HubDrive (often referenced as HR Management for Microsoft Dynamics 365) is a modular HR platform that runs inside the Microsoft environment, using Microsoft Dataverse as the data foundation.

Instead of running HR as a separate system with complex integrations, HubDrive supports HR management directly within Dynamics 365 — helping organisations standardise and scale HR processes over time.

HubDrive is designed for organisations that want:

HR processes embedded into their Microsoft Dynamics 365 environment
A consistent employee lifecycle framework (hire to retire)
Structured data for reliable reporting and workforce insight
Governance-led workflow approvals and auditability
A scalable platform that grows through modules and controlled enhancements

HubDrive UK: Why Organisations Choose a Microsoft-Native HR Platform

UK organisations typically choose HubDrive because it supports practical outcomes — especially where governance, consistency, and reporting matter.

1. HR Process Consistency Across the Organisation

When HR processes vary by team, site, or manager, data becomes unreliable and compliance risk increases. HubDrive supports structured processes and controlled workflows.

2. Stronger Approvals, Controls and Traceability

HubDrive standardises approval pathways across recruitment, onboarding, absence, and HR changes — supporting delegated authority and internal control expectations.

3. Better Workforce Reporting and Data Confidence

HubDrive structures HR data inside Dataverse, improving consistency for reporting and dashboards across HR and leadership.

4. Reduced HR Administration Through Self-Service

With employee self-service (ESS) and manager self-service (MSS), organisations can reduce admin overhead and improve turnaround times.

5. Alignment with Microsoft Investment

If your organisation already uses Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, HubDrive keeps HR inside that same ecosystem — reducing integration complexity and improving governance.
