Selima

Selima was a leading provider of workforce management software, specialising in cloud-based solutions for payroll, HR, and time and attendance management. The company served a diverse client base across sectors such as retail, hospitality, healthcare, and education. Known for its user-friendly interface and robust functionality, Selima’s software helped organisations streamline operations, improve compliance, and enhance employee engagement.

YFM Equity Partners invested in Selima to support its growth strategy, focusing on scaling operations, expanding its client base, and enhancing its cloud-based technology platform. The investment also aimed to accelerate product development and address increasing demand for integrated workforce management solutions.

Under YFM’s ownership, Selima delivered several significant achievements:

• Achieved record-breaking order intake, reflecting strong demand for its workforce management solutions.
• Expanded its client portfolio, securing contracts across key sectors, including public services, retail, and hospitality.
• Enhanced its technology platform with new features and improved scalability to better serve its growing customer base.
• Strengthened its leadership team to support strategic growth and operational efficiency.

Outcome

Selima’s growth trajectory under YFM’s guidance positioned the company as a leader in the workforce management software market. In 2017, Selima was successfully acquired by The Access Group, a leading UK-based provider of business software solutions. The acquisition provided a strong return for YFM investors and enabled Selima to integrate into a larger software ecosystem, further expanding its reach and enhancing its product offering.
