Jessica O'ConnorDeputy, the global people platform for shift-based businesses, has announced an exclusive partnership with Predelo, an artificial intelligence (AI) decision agent-as-a-service solution.
The collaboration aims to transform how shift-based companies manage their employees, bringing predictive scheduling, compliance automation, and labour optimisation into one experience.
Deputy is currently piloting Predelo with customers locally as well as in the United States, where a national coffee brand is managing over 70,000 shifts per week and auto-scheduling an estimated 85% of its workforce.
This strategic partnership will see Predelo’s AI-powered labour forecasting and auto-scheduling agents made available exclusively to Deputy customers.
Silvija Martincevic, CEO at Deputy, said: “Artificial intelligence and machine learning are transforming the economics of shift-based work, and this partnership redefines what’s possible for the future of the front-line.
“What makes this partnership uniquely powerful is the foundation it’s built on: years of rich scheduling, timesheet, compliance and sales data collected across millions of shifts through Deputy.
“This is AI built for shift work: forecasting with context, scheduling with care, and helping businesses become more productive, profitable, and people-first.”
Koorosh Lohrasbi, CEO of Predelo, added: “This partnership with Deputy marks a transformative moment for shift-based businesses.
“At Predelo, we’ve built an AI decisioning solution that learns, adapts, and acts – removing the cognitive burden of scheduling so leaders can focus on performance, not paperwork.
“Together with Deputy, we’re turning decades of operational data into real-time intelligence that drives precision, fairness, and profitability at scale.
“This isn’t just automation – it’s the future of workforce orchestration.”
