SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Sept. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dozuki, a leading purpose-built platform for frontline workforce training in manufacturing operations, is pleased to announce a strategic growth investment from Marlin Equity Partners ("Marlin"). This transaction enables Dozuki to further expand its leadership position in the manufacturing software market by accelerating product innovation and supporting the company's continued growth.

Dozuki has already helped hundreds of manufacturing companies improve the performance and productivity of their frontline workforce with their innovative platform.

The manufacturing sector is facing a unique combination of challenges that have been accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including a looming skills shortage, increased workforce turnover, growing complexity of operations, and unprecedented market demand. A recent 2021 report from The Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte indicates that 81% of manufacturers are currently unable to maintain production levels to satisfy demand for their products. Dozuki alleviates these challenges directly by empowering the frontline workforce with the process knowledge and training documentation they need to become productive employees quickly.

By investing in accelerated platform growth, we look forward to continuing to help our customers achieve scalable digital transformation goals," said Eric Doster, Co-founder and CEO of Dozuki.
