ZURICHFeb. 22, 2024  Beekeeper, provider of the leading frontline success system purpose-built for deskless workers, today announced continued momentum within the hospitality, healthcare, construction and manufacturing industries. Beekeeper also recently added more than 150 new organizations to its growing global roster of customers, many of which are replacing existing solutions for Beekeeper to adequately connect and engage with frontline workers. The company also announced it was included in recent research reports by leading industry analyst firms, including Forrester Research, Gartner and 451 Research.

While Beekeeper sees increasing interest in the SMB and Mid-Market space, names such as Polytainers, Rio Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, Tree Top recently selected or deployed the Beekeeper Frontline Success System to empower their business and workers with the digital solutions that connect the unconnected and help their deskless employees work better together. They join existing clients such as Cargill, Heathrow Airport and Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, which have expanded their use of Beekeeper's solutions.

"It is sometimes hard to stay connected with everybody in the field. I look at our organization as an upside-down pyramid, where our frontline people are our most important and everybody below the frontline employees are there to support them," said Joe Budd, CEO, The Budd Group. "So having Beekeeper has allowed us to reach out and be engaged across all levels of our company, especially our frontline employees who are the ones who make a difference in what we do."

Deskless workers represent 80% of the global workforce yet this population is chronically underserved when it comes to workplace technology. Beekeeper remains focused on connecting the people, processes, and information needed to keep businesses running smoothly. The company is recognized for leading the market with software created specifically for frontline workers so that they can operate more efficiently, effectively, and happier and achieve Frontline Success.

"We continue our strong start to 2023 with excellent performance across product development and customer growth," said Cristian Grossmann, CEO of Beekeeper. "This has been a year marked by continued expansion both geographically and within existing and new key vertical markets including construction and healthcare. With continued strengthening of our pipeline with new solutions and added features to existing products, we are well positioned to continue the momentum and support our confidence in achieving our growth ambitions."

Unlocking the Secrets of Frontline Workforce Success

For the third year, Beekeeper surveyed over 8,000 frontline workers, managers and global administrators for the 2024 Frontline Workforce Pulse Report, which offers unparalleled insights into the evolving landscape of deskless workers. Beekeeper gained insight into the greatest frontline workplace challenges, why frontline workers left their jobs at record-breaking rates, trends for frontline industries, and ways corporate leaders can improve the employee experience to build a more productive work environment.

Beekeeper offers solutions to address the often overlooked and growing disconnect between frontline workers and management that can lead to increased disengagement among frontline workers. The economic consequences of this widespread disaffection are significant—a projected $8.8 trillion in lost productivity and about 50% of workers across frontline industries leaving their jobs for both improved work/life balance and compensation.

With digitized forms and workflows, workers can easily communicate more effectively, while companies can extend investments in IT systems.

Building on its leading employee engagement system, in 2023, Beekeeper maintained a steady rollout of enhanced and new features, including an improved Workflow Engine, a library with hundreds of best practice templates, Frontline AI and a newly designed Frontline Workspace to further improve the UX/UI for a frontline-first audience.

The platform saw significant growth in adoption, especially in the non-communication features, forms, tasks and workflows, that make Beekeeper a differentiated offering supporting the company's high level of customer loyalty. Beekeeper saw Workflows grow four-fold in 2023 and Tasks doubled in usage and adoption.
