What Staffea does

Staffea is a French cloud-based SaaS company that provides workforce scheduling and HR planning software for healthcare facilities in France. The platform serves three primary verticals: EHPAD (nursing homes and retirement facilities), private clinics, and medical laboratories, addressing complex scheduling demands such as 24/7 care coverage, regulatory compliance with French labor laws and sector-specific collective agreements, replacement management, time tracking, payroll variable calculation, and digital contract generation. The product is delivered through a web interface and a mobile application for healthcare workers, with built-in modules for time, leave, absence, and overtime management, plus a shift exchange marketplace, automated regulatory compliance alerts, and electronic contract signing.

Technically, Staffea is built around rule-based scheduling automation that generates shift templates in under 2 hours, verifies schedules against labor regulations in real time, integrates with payroll systems to calculate variable pay elements, and pushes instant notifications on schedule changes. The platform is 100% web-based with iOS and Android apps, requires no on-premise installation, and is positioned as a French alternative to GAFAM providers with GDPR/RGPD compliance. Deployment is guaranteed within 48 hours with two days of remote training included. The company is owned by parent entity Limengo and is currently rebranding to Hublo Planning, with all demo and sales inquiries now routed through hublo.com, indicating integration into the broader Hublo healthcare workforce management ecosystem. Co-founded by Mathieu Mosquet and headquartered in Colombelles, Normandy, Staffea operates through direct enterprise sales targeting facility managers and HR administrators, with pricing handled consultatively on a subscription basis.
