Panther Software

What Panther Software does

Panther Software is a UK-based, privately-held cloud SaaS company founded in 2018 that sells a recruitment CRM purpose-built for temporary staffing agencies. The platform automates the full temp-recruitment lifecycle — shift booking, candidate availability, compliance management, digital timesheets, fatigue and working-time monitoring, two-way messaging, vendor/sub-tier supplier management, multibrand group administration, and real-time gross-profit forecasting — and is delivered through a web application plus a white-label mobile app for candidates. The system is hosted on Azure with Rackspace redundancy, exposes an open API, and ships with pre-built integrations to Microsoft Business Central, UKG Dimensions, COINS, Syrinx, In Time, and Power BI, plus a Zapier connector reaching 7,000+ apps; it also performs automated verification against UK and Irish healthcare regulators (NMC, HCPC, GMC, IMC).

Panther serves both multi-sector and specialist temporary recruiters across nine primary verticals — nursing/healthcare, construction, education, warehousing, social care, engineering, hospitality, facilities management, and driving — with healthcare/nursing and social care flagged as primary segments due to heavy compliance demands. The product is sold via a sales-led, demo-based motion targeted at enterprise and mid-market agencies, with named customers including Randstad, Morson, Swiis, McGinley, Zentro, Mayday Healthcare, and Alert Health 24. Documented outcomes from case studies include £300,000 in first-year savings and a 10% productivity uplift at Mayday Healthcare.

The business operates on an annual subscription model with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing. Revenue, funding, ownership, and management team details are not publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001, Cyber Essentials, and ICO/GDPR accreditations, and runs a monthly product release cadence that continued through 2025 and into 2026. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range, and operations are UK-centric with no disclosed international entity.
