Commenting about the firm’s outlook CEO Scott Absher said, “Looking ahead, we anticipate that our rapidly developing technology will further enhance our service offerings and better enable us to meet the needs of our growing assigned workforce and client base.”

ShiftPixy offers two primary solutions using its platform, Employer Solution and Shifter Solution. The company’s growth is mainly dependent on the increasing adoption of its platform by companies who are interested in enrolling part-time/temp workers for non-core tasks. The HR platform helps them to handle regulatory and compliance issues and offers cost-effective solutions.

On the flip side, the Shifter Solution helps workers who are part of the Gig economy to find out jobs at ease using the platform when they are done with the current gig or helps them to fill in voids in the current assignment.

In order to register solid growth, ShiftPixy needs to bring in more companies and workers to its platform. It also needs to expand its service offerings to more industries, reducing its dependency on the restaurant and hospitality sectors.
