About us
Before Workforce Innovation Solutions, we spent more than a decade building Malinko, a scheduling platform used by care providers across the UK and now part of Civica. Andrew and Kyle have worked together on this problem since 2013.
Those years taught us where scheduling really hurts. The rules that make a good rota live in spreadsheets and in people's heads, and skilled staff lose weeks at a time applying them by hand. When the person who knows the rules is away, everything stalls.
So we build software that captures those rules once and does the heavy lifting: generating schedules, scoring them for fairness, and showing the reasoning so people can trust the result.
We started building Malinko, scheduling software for social care providers. Andrew and Kyle have worked together since the beginning.
We began working within the NHS, selling to NHS trusts, community interest companies and local authorities providing out of hospital care.
Following the sale of the business, the platform was rebranded as Civica Scheduling, rewritten and properly integrated into Civica's wider software.
We founded Workforce Innovation Solutions in Manchester to build the scheduling engine we had spent a decade wishing for.
Wefen launches, bringing rule based schedule generation and the reasoning behind every assignment to NHS hospitals.
Founders
Andrew created Malinko and has spent more than a decade building workforce software that organisations rely on every day.
A developer, project manager and business owner, he is at his best turning messy operational problems into working software.
LinkedIn
Kyle was a senior engineer at Malinko from its early days through to its sale, and built or helped build most of the platform. Along the way he saw the same problem again and again: scheduling takes skilled people away from the job they are actually there to do.
He makes the technical decisions at Workforce Innovation Solutions and builds our products, including Wefen's scheduling engine: the rules, the generation and the scoring at its heart.

Our product
