Aethon tackles these issues with a two-part approach: it uses technology to improve how organisations plan, hire, and manage staff, and it invests in training to grow the available workforce.
At the heart of this strategy is Aelio, Aethon’s workforce platform. Aelio helps organisations handle everything in one place—from recruitment and shift planning to compliance, cost control, and performance tracking.
For workers, Aelio offers flexible scheduling, easier job access, and clear details about pay and responsibilities.
According to the company, over 100 organisations now use Aelio to speed up hiring, improve employee satisfaction, and boost efficiency.
Mitchell de Bos, Managing Director of Aelio, says, “Our clients operate in complex, high-pressure environments. They need more than visibility — they need agility. With Aelio, they can anticipate demand, scale the right workforce at the right time, and make smarter decisions that reduce costs and improve continuity of care.”
Aethon will use the funding to further develop its Aelio workforce platform. The company plans to add new features, expand its usage, and bring in AI to improve staffing and training processes.
This will also help Aethon better tackle labour shortages in key sectors like healthcare, childcare, education, and public services.
Chris Kok, Managing Director of Aethon, says, “Many people are eager to contribute to healthcare and education but face barriers like a lack of training or flexibility to work when and how they want. We’re removing those barriers — combining technology with targeted learning to ensure essential services remain staffed and resilient.”
Kok adds, “Endeit’s support allows us to deepen our technology and expand our impact at a critical moment. We’re proud to work with a partner who shares our belief in the power of human-centred innovation.”
