Misus

Misus is an information technology company headquartered in Bangalore, India. The company was founded in 2015 by a group of software engineers with experience in enterprise resource planning and workforce analytics. From its inception, Misus has focused on developing cloud-based solutions for talent management, scheduling, and workforce optimization for small to medium-sized enterprises.

The flagship product, MISO, is a web service that automates shift scheduling and compliance reporting. It uses machine learning algorithms to predict labor demand and balance employee availability with business needs. By 2018, MISO had been adopted by over 150 clients across the retail, hospitality and logistics sectors. In addition to MISO, Misus offers a suite of analytic tools and a mobile application that allows employees to view schedules and request time off.

Misus closed a seed funding round in 2016 that raised $1.2 million from angel investors, and a follow‑up Series A round in 2019 secured $5 million from a venture capital firm focused on enterprise software. The company employs around 300 staff, including software developers, data scientists and sales professionals. In 2021 Misus entered a strategic partnership with Microsoft Azure to integrate its solutions with Azure’s cloud infrastructure. The partnership enabled expanded global distribution and additional security certifications, positioning Misus as a competitive player in the workforce management market.
