Allocate Software

What Allocate Software does

RLDatix (formerly Allocate Software) provides workforce management, patient safety, and clinical data management software to healthcare and social care organisations. Its platform serves NHS trusts, the Health Service Executive (HSE), major independent health providers, and social care enterprises across the UK, Ireland, and five additional global regions (North America, Asia-Pacific, Sweden, Germany, and the Middle East & Africa). The company reports 10,000+ customer organisations globally, 6,500+ in UK & Ireland, 1.75M+ staff rostered on its platform, 1.2M+ incidents recorded, and 1.3M+ users of the Loop staff app.

The core technology stack is an Agentic Intelligence-driven rostering platform that combines structured scheduling data with text-based incident reports and user interactions to drive optimisation, recommendation, predictive analytics, process automation, and anomaly detection. The product suite is organised around four pillars: Workforce (Allocate Optima, Rostering, BankStaff, AI-powered Smart Match, eCommunity, SafeCare, Activity Management, Clinical Job Planning, Rota Building, Appraisal, HR Case Management, Expenses, Loop staff app); Safety & Quality (DCIQ / Datix Cloud IQ with Event Reporting, Investigations, Safety Learnings, Claims, Patient Experience, Audits and Standards, Enterprise Risk Management, Policy Management, Mortality Insights, Safety Alerts, Safeguarding); Clinical Data Management (Best-in-KLAS Data Migration, Data Archiving, Data Resilience); and Intelligence & Benchmarking (DataHub, RLD Intelligence, RLD Pulse assessment). The Connected Health & Care Summit, RLDatix Awards, RLD Academy, and Health & Care User Group provide community infrastructure.

The business model is enterprise SaaS subscription licensing on annual or multi-year contracts, sold via a consultative direct field-sales motion with 'Book a Demo' CTAs and the RLD Pulse assessment as the lead engagement. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to organisation size and requirements; no public price list is disclosed. GTM targets enterprise buyers — NHS trusts, HSE, independent health providers, and social care enterprises — through dedicated regional websites and direct sales in six geographies, supported by content marketing (podcasts, blogs, case studies, webinars) and customer community programmes.

Direct peers

• symplr: symplr is a healthcare workforce, credentialing, and governance/risk/compliance platform serving US health systems with provider data, scheduling, and patient safety modules — the closest direct competitor to RLDatix's workforce + safety/quality stack.
• QGenda: QGenda is a healthcare-focused provider scheduling, workforce, and credentialing platform used by hospitals and medical groups to automate physician and advanced practice provider scheduling — directly comparable to Allocate Optima's clinical rostering role.
• Imprivata: Imprivata provides healthcare IT security, identity, and clinical workflow platforms used by NHS trusts and US health systems, comparable to RLDatix as an adjacent healthcare-IT vendor with deep NHS roots and patient-safety oriented offerings.

Broad incumbents

• UKG (Kronos): UKG (formerly Kronos) provides enterprise workforce management, time & attendance, and scheduling used across healthcare systems, overlapping directly with RLDatix's rostering and temporary staffing modules but serving a broader cross-industry WFM market.
• Workday: Workday HCM offers enterprise workforce planning, scheduling, and people analytics with growing penetration into healthcare systems, competing with Allocate Optima on broader HR/payroll capabilities even where it lacks NHS-specialized rostering.
• ServiceNow: ServiceNow's HR Service Delivery, ITSM, and risk/compliance modules compete with RLDatix's DCIQ event/incident management, investigations, and enterprise risk offerings, especially as ServiceNow pushes deeper into healthcare workflows.
• Oracle Health (Cerner): Oracle Health bundles workforce, scheduling, and risk modules into its Cerner EHR platform, presenting a major bundling threat to RLDatix where NHS trusts standardize on Oracle/Cerner as their core EPR.
• Epic Systems: Epic is the dominant US EHR and is increasingly used by UK specialist trusts; its embedded workforce and safety workflows compete with RLDatix modules within Epic-led deployments.
• ADP Workforce Now / Healthros: ADP provides workforce management, payroll, and scheduling capabilities across healthcare employers, broadly comparable to RLDatix on HR/payroll/rostering adjacencies even if not as deep on NHS clinical workflows.

Regional players

• RLDatix North America (cross-region view): RLDatix's own North America business unit operates the legacy Datix safety and workforce suites under US healthcare procurement rules; it is the same corporate entity but regional practice patterns and competitor sets differ from UK & Ireland, making it useful as an internal comparable for cross-region growth.
