Fluida Europe

Fluida Europe operates as a developer of a cloud-based, mobile-first human resources platform designed to streamline the relationship between companies and their personnel. The company was established in Milan, Italy, in March 2018 by a team of entrepreneurs with two decades of experience in the digital sector, including Andrea Burocco (CEO), Andrea Becchio (CTO), and Hernán Solima (VP & Experience Leader). The founders' background includes creating and exiting two prior digital companies, and their experience in digital projects, retail, and CRM shaped Fluida's focus on enhancing the employee relationship.

The firm's core business revolves around a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that digitizes and automates various HR administrative tasks. It serves a wide range of clients, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and businesses in sectors like retail, logistics, and hospitality, where employees may not primarily work from a desk. Revenue is generated through a tiered, per-user, per-month subscription model, with plans such as Essential, Standard, and Plus offering different feature sets. An enterprise plan is also available for companies with over 100 employees, which includes options for SSO integration and API access. Following a pre-seed funding round of €400,000 in early 2019, Fluida was acquired by the Zucchetti Group in September 2019, which now holds a 51% majority stake. This acquisition integrated Fluida into one of Europe's largest software houses, expanding its distribution network.

Fluida's platform simplifies workforce management through a suite of modular features. A key function is attendance and timesheet management, which replaces traditional badges with modern clock-in technologies like NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, and dedicated hardware devices such as the Fluida Beacon and Fluida Station. The system also handles absence management, allowing employees to request holidays, leave, and sick days through a shared calendar. Other platform capabilities include expense reporting with automatic data capture from receipts, document management for payslips and contracts, internal corporate communications, and activity reporting. The platform is designed to be user-friendly and accessible via a mobile app, reducing administrative burdens and improving data accuracy by eliminating paper-based processes and spreadsheets.
