Our take
HR workflows are often tedious and difficult to manage. Without a centralised platform, these inefficiencies take time away from pressing business needs. Grouper offers a solution to this through creation of an innovation management system that facilitates quality assurance in line with governance risk and compliance.
The company's platform differs from competitors in that it's designed for maximum flexibility, meaning that it can be moulded to the specific needs of each business. Further, by offering a product that is easily integrated into existing methodology, Grouper is able to provide its solution with minimal disruption to existing processes.
Major clients already include Aer Lingus and Crown Roofing. Through its 2021 round of seed funding, Grouper has focused on employee expansion and investing in the continual development of its management platform to secure more deals with leading companies.
