With UK employers under mounting pressure to tackle labour shortages, rising operational costs and retention challenges across their frontline teams, intelligent workforce technology is becoming a strategic priority. This shift has helped drive two major industry accolades for Quinyx, recognised for its AI-powered approach to creating fairer, more efficient and more connected frontline operations.
The company has been named Best AI-Driven Workforce Management SaaS 2025 in The SaaS-ies by Acquisition International, alongside securing #16 in TechRound’s SaaS66, a global ranking of the world’s leading SaaS companies.
This dual recognition strengthens Quinyx’s position as a leading workforce management provider in the UK, where it already supports blue-chip brands including Starbucks, ODEON and HMV.
The SaaS-ies judging panel highlighted Quinyx’s impact across people-intensive UK industries – from retail and hospitality to logistics and healthcare – praising its mobile-first, all-in-one platform that consolidates scheduling, forecasting, engagement and communication into a single system.
With 14 million monthly app logins, frontline adoption remains a key strength, reflecting how deeply embedded the platform has become in day-to-day operations for shift-based teams in the UK and across the globe.
Quinyx’s AI engine has been developed and stress-tested over many years in real-world frontline environments. It has been proven to significantly cut scheduling time while reducing over- and under-staffing by up to 20%. It also improves wellbeing by easing burnout and excessive overtime, therefore increasing retention thanks to fair, flexible rotas and easy shift-swapping.
“Across the UK, employers are dealing with a perfect storm – labour shortages, fluctuating demand and growing expectations for flexibility,” said Ned Gammell, VP of Sales at Quinyx. “These awards reflect the work we’re doing to help teams feel more supported, connected and empowered through intelligent, human-centred technology.”
A Quinyx-commissioned Forrester study found that 77% of frontline workers feel disconnected from company strategy, with the majority missing key information. This gap is especially visible in sectors with large distributed workforces such as retail, hospitality and care.
Quinyx’s engagement features – including real-time communication, feedback tools and recognition badges -were praised for helping organisations strengthen morale and day-to-day performance.
The accolades come as Quinyx expands its footprint in the UK, supporting employers seeking AI-powered tools that improve operational efficiency while enhancing the frontline experience.
“Momentum in the UK continues to build,” Gammell added. “We’re committed to helping organisations create workplaces where technology fades into the background and people can do their best work.”
