The investment will help Roubler drive growth and accelerate its product roadmap, enabling new features and enhancements to its sophisticated workforce features including further enhancements to its industry leading AI tools.
“We’re hugely excited about this new chapter for our business. When we started out, we wanted to build a workforce management solution that was not only relevant, but that would change the industry,” says Andrew Northcott, Roubler Founder and CEO.
“With MYOB, we’ve not only found a supportive partner and shareholder, but one that understands our vision and can help us scale in a way that ensures we remain best-in-class. We can now create even more value for our customers.”

“To deliver the best all-in-one solution for the mid-market, we knew we needed the best in the market and for us, Roubler is the perfect fit. They have a razor-sharp customer focus and have used this to build an AI-enabled workforce management solution using a contemporary technology stack and frameworks.”
