Currently serving hundreds of customers across Asia<\/span>, with end users spanning 79 countries, Omni solves a common pain point for companies operating within the region: the dilemma of choosing between global HR platforms that lack understanding and functionality of local needs, or rigid legacy systems that lack modern capabilities.<\/p>\n

Omni provides modern HR teams with both. A data-driven workspace to automate tasks, manage teams, and handle multi-country payroll from a unified platform. Within its global capabilities, Omni HR offers a unique focus on Asia<\/span>-based teams, addressing the complexities of local regulations and cultural nuances that are often overlooked in the HRIS market.<\/p>\n

The round was led by Picus Capital<\/a><\/u>, with participation from Alpha JWC Ventures<\/a><\/u>, January Capital<\/a><\/u>, and Ratio Ventures<\/a><\/u>. Capitalizing on its strong market traction\u2014continuously growing in the double digits, month over month\u2014Omni will use the funding to expand and further develop its product offerings across the Asia Pacific<\/span> region and further scale up its localization efforts, including the launch of multi-country payroll. Building what fast-growing companies operating in Asia<\/span> truly need\u2014sophisticated, flexible workflows that work seamlessly across borders while maintaining localization for their modern workforce.<\/p>\n
