Ximble, founded as Nimble Software Systems in 2012, operated as a cloud-based platform specializing in workforce management solutions. The company's trajectory was significantly shaped by its founder, Peter Swaniker, a software engineer originally from Ghana who immigrated to the United States. Leveraging his extensive experience in software engineering at companies like Kelley Blue Book and Buy.com, Swaniker identified a market gap after a personal experience highlighted the inefficiencies of manual shift coverage. This led him to invest his savings to create a more streamlined solution for employee scheduling.
The company provided a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution tailored for small and medium-sized businesses, particularly in the services, hospitality, and retail sectors. Its business model was subscription-based, with pricing starting at a low per-user, per-month fee, making it an accessible option for businesses previously reliant on spreadsheets or paper-based systems. Ximble generated revenue by offering tiered plans that included core scheduling features, with add-ons like time tracking and advanced communication tools available at higher price points.
Ximble’s product was an intuitive, web-based employee scheduling and time and attendance solution designed to automate and simplify workforce operations. Key features included a drag-and-drop schedule builder, mobile apps for Android and iOS, comprehensive reporting, and integrated time-tracking capabilities. For a higher tier, the platform offered XimbleChat for in-app communication and payroll integration. A significant milestone for the company was its acquisition by Human Capital Management (HCM) company Paycor in May 2019. The acquisition integrated Ximble's scheduling technology into Paycor's broader HCM suite, rebranding it as Paycor Scheduling and continuing to serve Ximble's existing client base while expanding its offerings.
