Seed4Soft invests in AddWorking, to simplify how companies manage external resources

Paris, 15 January 2019

AddWorking raises 1.2 million euros to accelerate its growth

A year after its first funding round of 600,000 euros, the startup that simplifies how companies manage external resources announces a second round of 1.2 million euros.

AddWorking is therefore completing its second funding round, from its existing shareholder Edenred Capital Partners, from Patrice Thiry, founder of ProwebCE, from the entrepreneur investor club Seed4Soft represented by Gilles Rigal (also a partner at Apax Partners) and from Holnest Club, the business angel club of Jean-Michel Aulas's family office, represented by Patrick Bertrand, former managing director of Cegid.

Julien Pérona, co-founder of AddWorking, explains: "thanks to our investors' trust, we are opening a new page in the AddWorking story and will be able to accelerate our growth on both the technology and commercial fronts."

At a time when companies have to be agile and increasingly seek to turn fixed costs into variable ones, the use of external resources is intensifying. Every form of external resource is affected: subcontractors, service providers and freelancers. AddWorking not only relieves the company of time-consuming management tasks by digitalising and automating flows (administrative, contractual, orders and payments), but also secures its relationship with its external resources through constant monitoring of legal risks. The platform also offers "support in putting in place a genuine non-salaried policy for retaining the best external resources," explains Charles Liénart, co-founder.

AddWorking's strength is offering a solution unique on the market, both simple and modular: the company has a single point of entry to manage its whole subcontracting chain, from aggregating the skills of external resources through to invoicing, by way of contract management (electronic, of course). Where the company has sourcing needs, AddWorking acts as a single desk so that it can pass its requirement on to the marketplaces that specialise in sourcing.

"Our platform is SaaS (software as a service), easy to deploy and fully customisable: it adapts to our clients' needs as those emerge over time," says Julien Pérona.

About AddWorking:

Having started out in 2016 with a freelance sourcing platform, AddWorking shifted, in light of the needs its own clients expressed, to a solution for managing external resources (subcontractors, service providers, independents and so on). The company, which has two offices, in Annecy and Paris, today offers SMEs, mid-caps and large companies a modular SaaS solution to manage the whole subcontracting chain, paired with a unique legal framework. http://www.addworking.com
