2cloudnine bags $7.5m to take workforce management tech global

Melbourne-based tech startup 2cloudnine plans to pursue “significant” growth opportunities in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region after securing more than $7.5 million in fresh funding for its workforce management platform.

Most of the funding comes from private equity firm Blackpeak Growth Partners, which now has three investments in its portfolio. The firm has previously backed EdStart, an education fee management platform, and Skutopia, which raised $38 million in August for its warehoapply automation system for online retailers.

Founded in 2009 by CEO Adam Edmondson, the 2cloudnine unified workforce platform is built within the Salesforce ecosystem and designed for large enterprises in the staffing and healthcare sectors.

It acts as a central point for assignment management, payroll, billing, onboarding, pay compliance and analytics for corporate customers, including global staffing firms that run thousands of placements and aged care and disability providers that required to coordinate care for residents.

In turn, this reduces fragmented processes that 2cloudnine states can erode margins and increase compliance risk for companies in these sectors.

The startup already works with the likes of Adecco, Allegis, Alliance Nursing, Cornerstone Medical Recruitment, Epic Staffing Group, New Chapter and PeopleIN.

It operates in Australia, the UK and the Asia Pacific and states demand is growing from existing customers to roll out the platform across multiple jurisdictions. At the same time, the business wants to take advantage of new opportunities in other regions too.

“This investment enables us to strengthen our local teams on the ground in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe, and to continue advancing our product roadmap,” stated Edmondson in a statement.

The fact 2cloudnine’s platform is built on Salesforce means it offers enterprise-level security, reliability and scalability, added Edmondson.

“Our unified platform not only seamlessly connects operations, it provides customers with a competitive advantage and the confidence to stay ahead,” he stated.

Blackpeak Growth Partners co-founder and partner Hayden Dyer stated 2cloudnine is “redefining how staffing and healthcare organisations manage their global operations”.

“2cloudnine’s deep indusattempt focus streamlines everyday operations for customers, delivering greater efficiency and a single source of truth supporting agentic AI decision-creating across the platform,” he stated in the same statement.
