This will see the company streamline people management processes at a time when organisations are under unique pressure to unlock efficiency for sustainability and provide the best worker experience.
1st October 2020: The Allocate Software group has today announced the acquisition of UK based Selenity Limited, a cloud based provider of HR and finance process management software.
The addition of Selenity’s core HR process solutions to Allocate’s workforce platforms, including HealthRoster Optima the market leading workforce optimisation software for health and care, will transform the end to end people management processes of its 600 customers world-wide. Many of these customers still use spreadsheets, manual or disparate systems for key processes such as recruitment, onboarding and case management.
Selenity’s solutions are used by over 200 health and care organisations. The acquisition comes just days after Allocate launched its next generation e-Rostering software for health and care organisations, HealthRoster Optima 11, and it follows earlier acquisitions of learning management software (Enterprise Study) and staff agency management software (247Time), demonstrating Allocate’s strategy to innovate and invest as it defines the emerging Healthcare People Management (HCM)space.
Selenity also brings with it an important commercial business of some 200 customers which aligns to Allocate’s existing non-health brands, which includes customers across the defence, maritime and the outsourced services sectors.
Nick Wilson, CEO of the Allocate Software Group, said: “With a world-wide shortage of health and care professionals and ever-increasing demand for care, even before the pandemic, the effective and efficient functioning of HR processes is proving itself to be mission critical. The HR function and process impacts so many aspects of staff’s experience of an organisation. It materially impacts how quickly staff are available for work and of course is critical for the efficiency and sustainability of the organisations themselves.
“I’m really pleased that with the addition of Selenity to our workforce platforms we will be helping our customers to bridge the gap between HR processes, workforce planning, workforce development and workforce deployment saving them time, money and making a positive difference to their people and the important services they deliver.”
Neil Everatt, CEO of Selenity, commented: “I am really proud of the difference the Selenity solutions have made and I am particularly excited for our customers and our team. By joining the Allocate family at this time, we will be part of helping deliver our shared vision for better people focused end-to-end approach to workforce management.”
