The Danish startup said it has expanded 100 per cent year on year to more than 100,000 users across 24 nations, including the UK and United States.

Guillaume Durao, investment director at Idinvest, said: "Right now the workforce management space consists of tools that are either too simple with only a few features, or overly complex systems that are difficult to roll out.
"After a thorough analysis of the global market, we've found Planday to be a uniquely feature-rich SaaS [software as a service] solution that is specifically built to address the complex needs of a mid-sized business and easy to use for both employees and managers."
