Spilno
Lionwood developed Spilno, a modular platform for people management, recruitment, and internal company workflows. It connects employee lifecycle processes, from AI-assisted candidate screening and onboarding to development, offboarding, and everyday team coordination.
Drawing on internal HR expertise and practical experience with existing HR management systems, the company identified an opportunity to develop a more adaptable platform for organizations with different structures and workforce management needs.
Spilno is Lionwood’s own people management product, designed to connect employee information, HR processes, recruitment, and internal workflows in one environment. Its modular approach allows organizations to adapt functionality and processes to their needs rather than navigate a workspace filled with tools they may never use.
Lionwood launched the minimum marketable product (MMP) of Spilno in October 2026, following the start of the formal delivery phase in September. Building on an existing back-end foundation, the initial release established the core platform, including employee management, configurable permissions, absence workflows, and project-based workforce visibility. Subsequent development has expanded Spilno with connected recruitment, onboarding, employee development, offboarding, and internal coordination capabilities, shaping it into a broader people management environment.
Lionwood’s team shaped Spilno around three priorities: bringing essential people management functions together, allowing administrators to adapt access and workflows to organizational needs, and creating a foundation for connected employee lifecycle processes. The initial release established the core product experience, while continued development has extended it with recruitment, AI-assisted CV analysis, onboarding, employee development, offboarding, and internal coordination tools.

Organizations need to coordinate more than employee records and time off. Recruitment, onboarding, employee development, internal communication, and offboarding all involve different people, responsibilities, and sensitive information. When these processes are handled through disconnected tools or rigid systems, it becomes difficult to adapt workflows to the organization’s structure and maintain continuity throughout the employee lifecycle. Lionwood set out to address this with a modular platform that could bring these activities together without imposing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Lionwood shaped Spilno as a modular people management platform built around connected HR processes, configurable access, and everyday internal coordination. The team prioritized a usable initial release, building on an existing back-end foundation and concentrating delivery efforts on the core application experience, employee management, and flexible permissions. Continued product development has extended this foundation to cover more stages of the employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding to development and offboarding.
Tier-based functionality
Administrator-configurable permissions
Multi-level employee information access
Parallel organizational and project structures
Prioritizing core capabilities for the initial release
Spilno brings employee information and HR workflows together in a shared environment, supporting different stages of the employee lifecycle through connected processes and configurable access.
Lionwood assembled a six-person team combining engineering, design, product ownership, project management, and marketing. Two full-stack developers handled application development, while a graphic and UX designer shaped the user experience. The project manager and product owner — an HR manager with practical domain expertise — also contributed to manual QA, helping align implementation with real-world workforce management needs.
