Daywize

What Daywize does

Daywize is a Dutch SaaS provider of Daywize Cloud, a modular human resource management platform built on the Mendix low-code platform and headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands. The product organizes approximately 16 modules across three pillars: recruiting (job posting, job marketing, applicant tracking, onboarding), core HR (HR administration, company assets, expense claims, leave, absenteeism, digital personnel dossier, WPM regulatory reporting), and talent development (conversation cycles, training, feedback, goal management), with an additional WPM sustainability module for CO2 footprint tracking. The platform is differentiated by an advanced configurable workflow engine, role-based permissions, and free forms/data blocks that allow customers to digitize processes beyond the standard module set, alongside a native integration with the Nmbrs payroll administration system delivered through the PHOCUS Cloud partnership.

Daywize serves Dutch small and medium-sized businesses (MKB) seeking to professionalize and digitize fragmented HR processes that are often handled across disconnected systems, Excel spreadsheets, and paper-based personnel files. The company operates a dual-channel go-to-market: direct sales via website demo requests and a partner-led model in which 12+ certified service partners across the Netherlands — including BDO, Crowe, Jong & Laan, ESJ, Newtone, Incomme, Jan, Mazars, Moore DRV, PHOCUS, Sharebase, and Vitacon Luteijn — resell Daywize Cloud as the foundation for their HR advisory, payroll, and functional management services. Revenue is generated through modular or all-inclusive SaaS subscriptions on an annual billing cadence, with pricing not publicly disclosed and obtained primarily through demo requests or partner consultations. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or funding rounds, and operates exclusively within the Netherlands.
