What Emprevo does

Emprevo is an Australian workforce management SaaS company that operates a private worker marketplace platform enabling organizations to fill shifts by connecting managers with their own internal casual, part-time, and full-time workers, as well as preferred staffing agencies. Originally developed in 2015 by Sapphire Care as an internal solution to address shift-filling challenges across its aged care residences, the platform was commercially launched in 2017 and grew to serve over 2,100 workplaces across Australia and New Zealand.

The platform's core technology comprises two integrated modules: Worker Connect, which allows managers to upload worker profiles, check real-time availability, and instantly notify workers of shifts via a mobile app, and Agency Connect, which extends the marketplace to include preferred staffing agencies for unfilled shifts. Supporting features include a Manager Dashboard with real-time visibility of unfilled shifts and audit reports comparing completed shifts against payroll, plus a News Announcements module for critical worker communications. The system reports operational metrics including 100,000+ shifts filled monthly, 95% fill rate within 10 minutes, 84% of workers using the app more than twice daily, and a customer-reported reduction in agency and overtime costs of up to 85%.

Emprevo monetizes through a per-worker subscription model priced at approximately $2 per person per month for semi-permanent and casual workers, with no upfront license fees or lock-in contracts. The company employs a sales-led go-to-market motion targeting shift managers, HR teams, and workforce coordinators in aged care, acute care, child care, disability services, hospitality, retail, and logistics. Named customers include BlueCross, Bupa, Allity Aged Care, Homestyle Aged Care, The Bays Hospital, The Wesley Hospital, St Vincents Care Services, St Vincents Health Australia, Anglicare, and Compass Group. In April 2026, Emprevo was acquired by Humanforce, with its capabilities integrated into the Humanforce Connect workforce management operating system.

Core offering

Emprevo operates a cloud-based, mobile-first Worker Marketplace that enables organizations to create their own private marketplaces, on-board thousands of internal workers (Worker Connect), integrate preferred staffing agencies (Agency Connect), and fill vacant shifts in minutes via real-time notifications and a first-come-first-served allocation engine. The platform is sold to operators in aged care, healthcare, child care, disability services, hospitality, retail and logistics on a per-person monthly subscription basis.

Product overview

Emprevo offers a unified Worker Marketplace platform for shift management and workforce fulfillment. The core product is the Emprevo Worker Marketplace, which includes two key feature modules: Worker Connect (for managing internal workforce profiles and availability) and Agency Connect (for integrating preferred staffing agencies). Additional features include Manager Dashboard for reporting and analytics, and a Mobile App for workers and managers. Originally developed as an internal solution by a healthcare operator, the platform became commercially available in 2017. As of 2026, Emprevo has joined Humanforce and its capabilities are now integrated into the Humanforce Connect platform.

Direct peers

• ShiftMatch: Shift-matching platform focused on healthcare and aged care shift fill in Australia and the UK. ShiftMatch was the other company combined with Emprevo inside the Humanforce Connect product launch in April 2026, making it the most direct functional peer.
• Deputy: Cloud-based shift scheduling, rostering and workforce management platform used across healthcare, retail, hospitality and aged care. Deputy is a direct competitor in frontline shift management, with overlapping target segments and pricing models.
• Tanda: Australia-based workforce management software covering rostering, time clocking, shift swapping and labour analytics. Tanda is a direct ANZ-region peer addressing many of the same shift-heavy industries as Emprevo.
• When I Work: Shift scheduling and workforce management solution for hourly workforces across healthcare, retail, hospitality and other frontline industries. Directly comparable to Emprevo in targeting shift managers and casual/part-time workers.
• Planday: Shift planning, scheduling and employee engagement platform for hourly workforces in hospitality, retail, healthcare and other shift-driven industries. Strong overlap with Emprevo's shift-filling and engagement value proposition.
• Shiftboard: Workforce scheduling software purpose-built for shift-based industries including healthcare and security. Comparable to Emprevo in automating shift fill and connecting managers with available workers and contractors.

Broad incumbents

• Humanforce: Workforce management software vendor serving healthcare, aged care, hospitality, stadia, retail and logistics. Humanforce is now Emprevo's parent and the operator of Humanforce Connect, the combined platform built from Emprevo and ShiftMatch.
• UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group): Large-scale workforce management and HCM suite serving healthcare, aged care and other shift-heavy industries. UKG is a broad incumbent that overlaps with Emprevo's shift and labour management capabilities as part of a much larger portfolio.
• WorkForce Software (ADP): Workforce management suite (now part of ADP) addressing shift scheduling, time and attendance, and labour analytics for large enterprises. Overlaps with Emprevo's shift-fill and compliance capabilities but at enterprise scale.

Emerging players

• Rotageek: AI-driven shift scheduling and demand forecasting software for retail, healthcare and hospitality. Rotageek addresses shift optimisation with a more analytics-led take, partially overlapping with Emprevo's shift-fill focus.
