Bluworks
HR and workforce management software built for blue-collar and shift-based teams.
bluworks is a Cairo-based HR-tech platform for managing blue-collar and shift-based workforces, covering scheduling, attendance tracking, payroll processing, leave management, and compliance with Egyptian labor and social-insurance regulations. It was founded in 2022 by Hussein Wahdan and Farah Osman and was designed from the outset for field workers, retail staff, and multi-site operations rather than adapted from white-collar HR software. The product includes a web dashboard for employers and a mobile app (iOS and Android) for employees to view schedules, clock in/out, and access pay information. bluworks raised a $1 million pre-seed round in April 2024 and a further $1 million seed round in November 2025 led by A15, Enza Capital, and Beltone Venture Capital, with participation from Acasia Ventures and angel investors, bringing total funding to roughly $2 million. The company's stated focus is Egypt's SME market with plans for regional MENA expansion.
