Rotageek, a workforce rota-planning tool has received £6 million in funding from institutional investors.
The tool was co-founded by former doctor Chris McCullough to support organisations and teams create a rota and easily swap shifts.
Chris trained as a medical doctor spending 16 years in the NHS and 8 years as an Emergency Medicine Physician, at several London based hospitals, and is now CEO of the company.
Chris commented “It’s our mission to create a step change in scheduling to improve not only how businesses and organisations run their operations, but to also positively and significantly impact the lives of shift-based employees.”
“As a [former] doctor, I am particularly passionate about taking those benefits to the healthcare sector. We are excited about this new funding round, are pleased to welcome Calculus and to receive continued support from Mobeus.”
The funding will support the company expand in a global market worth £3bn. Some of the organisations using the tool include Prêt a Manger, The Perfume Shop, Dune, Pets at Home and O2.
The company is now also offering the tool to hospitals for free for three months.
Greg Blin, who led the Series A & B investments for Mobeus and who sits on the Rotageek Board, added ““Workforce management is crying out for innovation, as existing manual processes and legacy solutions are unable to effectively meet the demands of a modern-day enterprise workforce.”
“RotaGeek’s technologically advanced proposition is proven to solve this issue, and effectively competes against much larger players. I’m delighted to continue to support this strong and capable management team from Series A to Series B.”
