What Wageloch does

Wageloch is an Australian workforce management SaaS company that delivers an all-in-one platform combining rostering, time and attendance, electronic timesheets, HR administration, and (as of August 2025) integrated payroll processing. The platform supports multi-site, multi-award configurations from a single dashboard and is differentiated by a proprietary award interpretation engine that automatically calculates pay rates, penalties, overtime, and allowances under Australian and New Zealand modern awards (including the Pharmacy Industry Award, Health Professionals Award, and General Retail Industry Award). Biometric clocking options span fingerprint, facial recognition (Wageloch FaceID), iris scanning, RFID, PIN/password, GPS-enabled mobile clocking, and a tablet-based Time Kiosk, with biometric data stored encrypted on local devices. The platform integrates natively with leading payroll (Xero, MYOB, Reckon, ADP, Employment Hero, CloudPayroll, iPayroll, Crystal Payroll), POS (H&L, Minfos, Corum, Z Software, POS Works, Striven), HR (Flare HR), and ERP systems (MYOB Acumatica, Accentis, Tencia, Sympac, AlphaBiz), and is backed by ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2015 certifications.

The business is monetised primarily through per-location monthly SaaS subscriptions (A$118 ex GST for Core rostering/T&A; A$153 for Core + HR; A$176 for the all-in-one bundle including payroll) billed monthly in arrears, with a one-off implementation fee starting at A$1,500 ex GST for the first site and A$750 ex GST per additional site. Biometric hardware is sold as an add-on, with fingerprint scanners priced under A$250. Go-to-market is sales-led via website-driven "Request a demo" CTAs, augmented by an extensive channel partner ecosystem that includes payroll providers, POS vendors, HR platforms, ERP implementation partners (Momentum Software Solutions, Stratus Consulting Group), and outsourced payroll services (Guild Payroll, Marshall Michael, ReadyTech, Paypac). The company operates from eight regional offices across Australia (Adelaide HQ plus Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart) and New Zealand (Auckland, Christchurch).

Wageloch targets SMEs and mid-market businesses in Australia and New Zealand across six primary verticals: pharmacy and medical, childcare and education, accommodation and hospitality, retail, light industrial and mobile workforces, and production and manufacturing. Named customers include Optus, Pizza Hut, Terry White Chemists, Amcal, Priceline, IGA, Nandos, Coffee Club, Mitre 10, Home Hardware, Meals on Wheels, BStore, ChemCentral Group (384 employees across 13 pharmacy sites), and Northpharm Group (300 employees). The company reports "thousands of businesses" as customers and maintains an "Excellent" rating on Capterra based on 263 reviews. Founded in 2006 by Lachlan (Lachy) Sedsman after prototyping a rostering tool for a family friend's bakery, the company was acquired by Valsoft Corporation in 2023, with founders Lachy and Kobi Sedsman stepping away as part of the transaction.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Employment Hero: Australia-headquartered broader HR, payroll and benefits platform with integrated rostering and award interpretation, including its own payroll engine. Overlaps Wageloch at the integration/partner level while competing for the same SMB/mid-market ANZ customers.
• ADP Workforce Now / RUN: Global payroll, HR and workforce management platform that Wageloch explicitly integrates with. Represents the broad incumbent threat: a vertically integrated payroll+rostering stack at much larger scale.
• UKG (Kronos/Workforce Software): Global enterprise workforce management and HCM provider offering T&A, scheduling, payroll and HR at large scale. Competes indirectly with Wageloch for enterprise deployments but lacks Wageloch's localized AU/NZ award specialization.

Emerging players

• WorkJam: Frontline workforce management platform with employee scheduling, T&A and task management. Overlaps Wageloch in shift-based employer use cases though focused on retail and hospitality globally.
• ShiftCare: Australia-based rostering, scheduling and workforce management platform focused on care, disability and community services. Adjacent vertical overlap with Wageloch's community services and healthcare segments.
• Ento: Australian workforce management SaaS offering rostering, HR and onboarding for shift-based employers. Operates in the same ANZ market niche as Wageloch, focused on smaller customers.

Direct peers

• Planday: Cloud-based rostering, time & attendance and workforce management platform serving shift-based businesses across multiple geographies (Denmark origin). Comparable to Wageloch in core functionality and target verticals like hospitality and retail.
• Deputy: Australia-headquartered workforce management SaaS offering rostering, time & attendance, HR and payroll to shift-based businesses globally. Closest direct peer to Wageloch in product scope and ANZ origin, though Deputy is significantly larger and international.
• Humanforce: Australia and New Zealand-headquartered HR, payroll, rostering and T&A platform serving shift-based industries including healthcare and hospitality. Directly competes with Wageloch for the same ANZ multi-site employer use cases.
• Tanda: Australian workforce management software providing rostering, time & attendance, and award interpretation for shift-based employers. Highly comparable to Wageloch in ANZ focus, award-rule handling, and SMB/mid-market positioning.
