What is foundU?

foundU empowers Australian businesses to streamline payroll and workforce management through a powerful, all-in-one automated platform designed for medium-sized organisations. Our cloud-based software is tailored for industries reliant on labour but often underserviced, including labour hire, construction, mining, transport, factories and warehousing, health & aged care, childcare, cleaning services, hospitality, sports and recreation clubs.

Our platform seamlessly manages multi-site operations, shift-based workforces, and complex payroll configurations, allowing businesses to proactively manage labour costs and reduce payroll processing expenses. With foundU, you can efficiently onboard, schedule, and pay your workforce, all from a single system.

Experience effortless employee onboarding with foundU. Our system enables staff to submit necessary information, policy acknowledgments, qualifications, and availability—customisable to your business needs. Create tailored onboarding journeys based on position, with adjustable requirements and conditions.

Drive efficiency and profitability with foundU's intuitive scheduling tools. Generate schedules in seconds, assign shifts to the most suitable, available staff, and monitor wage costs in real-time. Use our analytics to optimise costs and resources, share schedules via the employee app, and make adjustments or swap shifts quickly.

Our native payroll system simplifies compliance and payment processes. It automatically calculates pay, makes deductions, and reduces administrative burden. With built-in STP compliance and easy-to-understand award information, you can reduce end-of-year stress and ensure accurate payments.

Enjoy peace of mind with foundU’s dependable, local Australian support team. Our customer success team, known for their average 30-minute response time during business hours, has helped hundreds of Australian managers take control of their workforce management.

All these features are available at a fixed price of $3 per user per week, with no hidden fees or extra costs—just pay for what you use. For more information and to book a demo, visit our website today.
