Why we invested in Ordio
We are excited to announce that we led a €12M Series A round in Ordio, with participation from Wecken & Cie and existing investors Capnamic and Simon Capital.
Ordio is building an operating system for deskless shift work. Its solution is addressing an underserved portion of the economy, made up of people running in the background of thousands of businesses, day after day, catering for hundreds of millions of customers around Europe.
A best-in-class product for the modern workforce
From gastronomy to emergency services, shift-based businesses are still stuck with paper schedules or disconnected, legacy point solutions. David Keuenhof, founder of Ordio, experienced this first hand as he was scaling his restaurant chain Sushi Ninja and set out to change that. Ordio is an intelligent, integrated platform that combines shift planning, time tracking, payroll, and more.
Their product roadmap reflects their bold mission: to become the system of record for the deskless world, like with Payroll Plus, a new AI-powered product that processes net payroll, bonuses, and legal or tax requirements in real time. It is designed to tackle complexity head-on and free up valuable time for managers and employees alike.
Ordio’s unified data layer also builds the foundation for the next stage: an AI-driven agent capable of optimizing deskless work even further. In a category dominated by analog processes, the vision of founders David, Gregor, Constantin and Moritz feels both inevitable and urgent.
A generational shift toward digitization
Ordio’s design, usability and feature depth stand out in a market desperate for simplicity. In deskless environments, where workflows are tightly woven into daily routines, a simple, intuitive product earns loyalty, which, in turn, fuels strong, steady growth.
This growth is further accelerated by a generational transition: younger, digital-native owners and managers are taking over many shift-based businesses worldwide. For them, digitization isn’t an option, it’s a given, and Ordio is built to fulfill all their requirements.
We believe Ordio is tapping into a large, underserved market undergoing generational change and building the type of software required by the modern workforce. We are proud to back them as they build the default platform for the deskless economy.
A warm welcome onboard, Ordio!
