Originally spun out from a joint innovation studio by Pioneer Square Labs and Fortive, TeamSense was launched in 2020 with a focus on tracking COVID-19 symptoms. It has since evolved into a robust tool for real-time absence reporting.
Key Features and Benefits
- Employees can quickly notify employers of absences via text, with immediate manager notifications and data tracking for HR teams.
- The software supports automatic language translation and integrates seamlessly with popular HR platforms like Workday, Zenefits, and ADP.
TeamSense primarily serves manufacturing and logistics companies, boasting around 30 employees. In 2021, Fortive acquired the startup, but it now operates independently with Fortive as a minority investor. Previous funding includes a $4 million round in 2023 from Bonfire Ventures and Operator Collective.
CEO Sheila Stafford, who has held leadership roles at Fluke, Whirlpool, and GM, declined to comment on the recent funding.
