U.S.-based HR platform accelerates growth to become the category leader for non-desk workers
Today, we are pleased to announce that Humand has raised Series A funding from top-tier investors. This milestone marks a turning point in our mission to connect the 80% of the global workforce that has been traditionally overlooked by HR platforms: non-desk workers.
The United States is central to our growth strategy.
The U.S. Market: Building Category Leadership
As a U.S.-based company with global reach, this Series A funding is specifically designed to accelerate our presence across the American market and establish Humand as the category leader for non-desk worker solutions.
Why the U.S.?
The American market represents a strategic opportunity for Humand:
Millions of frontline workers across retail, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and hospitality who need digital tools built for their reality—not adapted from desk-worker solutions.
Organizations of all sizes seeking comprehensive solutions that connect their entire workforce—desk and non-desk—in a single platform.
An evolving market seeking technology solutions more aligned with the reality of today’s distributed workforce.
This Series A investment allows us to not only expand geographically across the US, but also to strengthen our value proposition with tangible success cases, dedicated local teams, and product development specifically for the U.S. market’s needs.
For too long, frontline and operational workers have been digitally disconnected from their organizations. While desk workers enjoy seamless access to company resources, communication tools, and HR platforms, non-desk workers—from retail associates to manufacturing teams to healthcare professionals—have been left out of the digital workplace revolution. Until now.
The Problem We Solve: The 80% Left Behind
Non-desk workers represent approximately 80% of the global workforce. These are the people who keep our world running: nurses and caregivers, retail staff, warehouse teams, construction workers, hospitality professionals, and countless others who can’t perform their jobs from behind a computer.
Yet traditional HR software was built for a different era—one where every employee had a corporate email address, a desktop computer, and a 9-to-5 office schedule. For non-desk workers, this creates massive friction: they can’t easily access company information, request time off, check their benefits, complete training, or stay connected with their organization. HR teams, in turn, struggle with manual processes, low engagement, and fragmented communication across their workforce.
One Platform for 100% of Your Workforce
Humand is changing this. We’ve built the first all-in-one, mobile-first HR platform designed specifically for companies with non-desk workers—while still serving desk-based employees seamlessly. For the first time, organizations can connect their entire workforce in a single digital space, using the same processes, tools, and communication standards.
Our platform centralizes everything employees need in one mobile app:
- Internal communication and company updates
- Time-off requests and approvals
- Benefits information and enrollment
- Training and development programs
- Company policies and documents
- Recognition and culture-building tools
- And 30+ additional modular features, all accessible from any mobile device
No corporate email required. No desktop access needed. Just a simple, powerful platform that works the way your employees do.
Meet Sammy: Your AI HR Assistant
One of our most exciting innovations is Sammy, Humand’s AI assistant. Sammy allows employees to interact with the platform as if they were talking to the smartest, most helpful person in the company. Need to know your remaining vacation days? Ask Sammy. Confused about your health insurance options? Sammy explains it in seconds. Want to find a specific company policy? Sammy retrieves it instantly.
This dramatically reduces friction for employees and takes pressure off HR teams, who no longer need to field hundreds of routine questions. Sammy handles the basics, freeing HR professionals to focus on strategic, high-impact work that truly matters.
Proven Scale and Global Adoption
We’re not just building for the future—we’re already making an impact today. Humand is currently used by over 1.6 million employees across more than 1,500 companies, like Siemens, PSBank, Viva Aerobus, in 50 countries. From retail chains to manufacturing facilities to healthcare organizations, companies across industries are choosing Humand to finally connect their entire workforce.
This strong adoption demonstrates clear product-market fit and validates our category-defining approach. Organizations recognize that the future of work isn’t just about remote workers or hybrid offices—it’s about ensuring every single employee, regardless of where or how they work, feels connected, informed, and valued.
Three Pillars of Investment in the United States
This Series A funding is focused on three strategic areas to ensure our success in the American market:
1. Building Category Leadership and Awareness
We’re establishing Humand as the category leader for non-desk worker HR solutions in the U.S. market. This is a massive, underserved segment that has been overlooked for too long. We’re committed to raising awareness, driving adoption, and demonstrating that every employee—regardless of where they work—deserves world-class digital tools.
2. Scaling Across the United States
We’re investing heavily in expanding our presence across the United States, building meaningful customer success stories with American companies, and creating a best-in-class experience for U.S. organizations and their employees.
3. Continuing Product Innovation
We’re doubling down on product development to serve companies with mixed desk and non-desk workforces even better. Our goal is to become the gold standard platform for workforce management—connecting 100% of employees, everywhere.
Our Vision: A Connected Workforce for Everyone
At Humand, we believe that every employee deserves access to the same quality of digital tools, communication, and support—regardless of whether they work from an office, a factory floor, a hospital, or a retail store. The traditional divide between desk and non-desk workers is artificial, outdated, and damaging to both employees and organizations.
This funding round brings us one step closer to our long-term vision: becoming the platform that connects 100% of the workforce, everywhere. We’re building the future of work—not just for the privileged few, but for everyone.
Thank you to our investors, customers, partners, and team members who have believed in this mission. This is just the beginning.
