What onHand does

OnHand (legal entity: BeonHand Ltd) is a London-headquartered B2B SaaS company that has built an on-demand employee volunteering and sustainability platform. Founded in 2019 by Sanjay Lobo in collaboration with eight major UK charities — RSPCA, RNIB, Guide Dogs, NSPCC, UNICEF UK, WaterAid, British Red Cross, and Macmillan Cancer Support — the platform combines a consumer-grade mobile app (available in 40+ countries via iOS and Android stores) with a corporate web dashboard for real-time CSR impact measurement. Employees browse and complete micro-volunteering tasks, eco pledges (e.g., meat-free days, lower-temperature washing, public transport), and group volunteering days; gamification is layered on through leaderboards, badges, and a "Hero Points" system. Every ten completed actions trigger a tree planting via Eden Reforestation Projects, and all impact is mapped to UN Sustainable Development Goals for ESG/CSRD alignment.

The platform's core technology stack integrates Microsoft and Google SSO for authentication, runs on AWS infrastructure (Dublin) backed by SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified Heroku, and is GDPR- and Cyber Essentials Plus compliant. Supporting modules include a managed Group Volunteering service, dedicated CSR Consultancy, ready-to-go localised Content & Campaigns tied to awareness days (Pride, Earth Day, etc.), and an Impact Reporting dashboard tracking CO2e reductions, hours volunteered, and trees planted.

OnHand operates a hybrid go-to-market combining enterprise field sales (book-a-demo flow, custom pricing for organisations of 50+ employees) with a self-serve Starter Package at £1,500 per annum for organisations under 50 employees. Group Volunteering Days are priced separately as add-ons at £1,500 (10–15 people) to £2,500 (up to 25 people). Named enterprise customers include DoorDash, Hugo Boss, NHS, Skyscanner, Flutter, The Trade Desk, Abercrombie & Fitch, Dentsu, Penguin Random House, Pleo, Rightmove, Baringa Partners, Travelers, Veolia, and Domestic & General. The company has raised approximately $6.4M across 2021–2024 funding rounds, secured £100,000 on BBC Dragons' Den in March 2023, achieved B Corp certification in February 2024, and was ranked #22 in Deloitte Technology Fast 50 UK in November 2024.
