Deskless Workforce

2.7 billion people don't sit behind desk to do their jobs. We believe that deskless workforce applications are on the brink of radically transforming this population of global workers.

Closing the deskless software market gap

Despite making up 80% of the global workforce, deskless workers have long been forgotten by entrepreneurs and investors. Not at Emergence. These workers are employed in factories, fields, stores, healthcare facilities, and construction sites, and are essential to our economic infrastructure.

Companies with large populations of deskless workers want software that helps these employees become more productive and improves their work experience. We believe that this market represents one of the biggest opportunities for entrepreneurs today.

We saw a company like Veeva that had a social mission behind it [similar to us]. In Emergence, we saw an organization who understood [us], focused on the values that we're trying to go after. Emergence was a slam dunk choice for us.
