*NEW RESEARCH* Innovation and growth evident at Allocate Software

We recently caught up with Dr Sati Sian, the relatively new CEO of Allocate Software, to hear how the UK-headquartered workforce optimisation software supplier has grown and evolved since being taken private by HgCapital in 2015, and to get a sense of what the future holds for the business. We found a forward-looking company that is passionate about the markets it serves – healthcare, defence and maritime - and on a mission to innovate and drive growth across the business.

HgCapital took Allocate Software private in January 2015 in a deal that valued the healthcare-focused business at nearly £110m (see HgCapital snaps up Alllocate Software). The private equity firm installed Sian as the new CEO nine months later (see HgCapital brings in new CEO for Allocate). With a change of ownership and CEO and some challenging market conditions, you might have expected Allocate Software’s growth to stall for a period, but instead the latest published accounts (for year to end May 2016) reveal that it has continued to grow and outperform the market. Total revenue increased by 6.6% (9% in constant currency) in FY16 to £44.1m whilst in its core market, healthcare, it outperformed its peers with revenue from the sector up by 9.4% (12% at constant currency) to £38.6m. As its financial year draws to a close, FY17 results look set to show an equally strong performance.
