zvoove acquires Pixi IP, plans Swiss rollout for staffing onboarding tool
zvoove says the Pixi acquisition will help automate staffing administration and let workers handle onboarding and routine questions through WhatsApp.
zvoove says it has acquired the intellectual property behind Pixi, an AI-powered WhatsApp onboarding and support agent for temporary workers, and plans to make it available to customers in Switzerland soon.
According to the company, the deal adds an AI agent to its platform so staffing firms can automate recurring administrative work. zvoove says that could reduce manual handling for consultants and leave more time for client and candidate work.
The company’s release says Pixi is designed for temporary workers who need to complete onboarding and handle day-to-day administrative questions through WhatsApp. A worker can open a chat using a QR code or phone number and fill out a guided form. After submission, the release says, master data is captured without recruiter involvement.
The release says the AI agent can also respond to natural-language requests using a customer’s ERP data, including questions about personal details, contracts, assignments and working hours. zvoove says that makes routine support available in a chat tool workers already use.
According to the release, the intellectual property was acquired from Swiss technology entrepreneur Roger Tobler and inscribe GmbH. It does not provide financial terms for the transaction.
Oliver Muhr, CEO of zvoove Group, said: “Pixi takes administrative work off our customers' desks.” He added that every process that runs without a phone call or paper form translates into time saved and expanded margin.
Felix Huemer, CEO of zvoove Switzerland, said onboarding still involves manual back-and-forth for customer teams. He said Pixi changes that by letting employees complete onboarding and get routine answers in a chat tool they already know.
zvoove says its Swiss unit will accompany the rollout and be first to bring the tool to customers in the country. The release says Pixi will soon be available in Switzerland.
zvoove Group describes itself as a provider of software and AI tools for temporary staffing, cleaning services and personal security. The company says it serves more than 6,500 customers, manages over 3 million workers, handles EUR 24 billion in annual payroll and processes more than 3 million applications a year. It says it employs close to 1,000 people at 27 locations across Europe and Latin America.
