SwipeClock Acquires Shugo

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SwipeClock LLC today announced it has acquired Shugo, a leader in providing innovative SaaS-based workforce products and services for small- and medium-sized businesses. The acquisition enables SwipeClock to broaden its workforce management offerings and provide channel partners and their clients with additional solutions that make managing workforces easier and more cost effective.

"As a long-time integration partner that has been closely aligned with SwipeClock's mission, we are excited to acquire Shugo," said Coleman Barney, CEO of SwipeClock. "Because we have tremendous overlap with Shugo's sales channel, a shared customer base, and solutions that are already integrated, this acquisition is a clear fit for both companies. Additionally, SwipeClock can now help our sizeable installed base of partners and clients better manage their workforces by delivering a more unified and complete solution."

A Natural Fit

The combined product offerings will enable SwipeClock to offer an even more powerful and intuitive employee and manager portal that already has wide adoption across both companies' customer bases.

Shugo has focused on integrating its solutions with payroll software products and building a distribution channel using payroll service bureaus, both important facets of SwipeClock's growth objectives.
