Teachers are always looking for the best ways to manage their class. With the rise of technology, the education sector has seen a significant transformation in how teachers manage their classrooms. Visma and Beeple, two leading B2B software suppliers, have recently joined forces to acquire Clevergig, a leading SaaS workforce management platform.
Clevergig is a comprehensive platform that allows teachers to easily manage a global and flexible workforce. It helps teachers to connect temp workers and freelancers to ad-hoc assignments. This includes features such as organising planning, time registration, and invoicing processes. Headquartered in Amsterdam, the startup has 150 customers and a team of 20.
Beeple already provides larger recruitment companies with planning and communication tools to manage flexible shift schedules. With the acquisition of CleverGig, Beeple can now focus on the smaller segment of temporary employment and recruitment agencies but also expand into a new market segment and strengthen its growth ambition throughout the Benelux region.
The CEO and Founder of CleverGig, Michel Pilet, said: “What I like about Visma is that they say ‘integration kills innovation.’ We are not fully integrated with their other businesses. This takes a lot of time and energy and is often distracting. They allow their businesses to survive fairly independently. I think that is also positive for growth. We can keep going but with a strong party behind us.”
The merger will allow Beeple to serve a new market segment and accelerate organic growth throughout the Benelux region. Moreover, the sales and customer success teams will be integrated to exchange knowledge and provide optimal customer service.
Teachers will benefit from the acquisition of Clevergig as it provides an easy and comprehensive solution to manage their classrooms. The platform offers features to organise planning, time registration, and invoicing processes. With Beeple’s acquisition of Clevergig, teachers can now focus on the smaller segment of temporary employment and recruitment agencies.
