Incoming institutional investor Calculus Capital and Mobeus, which first invested in Rotageek in 2018, have together participated in a £6 million new investment round alongside angel investors.

Rotageek uses cloud-based technology and automatic scheduling to help multi-site businesses manage and schedule staff to meet demand, drive efficiency and reduce costs.

The tool uses machine learning to identify patterns which may otherwise go unnoticed and its apps make it easier for staff to swap and cover shifts and know when they are working.

Rotageek has already established a strong position in the UK retail sector, working with High Street names such as Prêt a Manger, The Perfume Shop, Dune, Pets at Home and O2.
