About Evolia

Evolia, formerly known as Voilà!, operates as a workforce management platform provider, originating from Quebec City, Canada. The company was established in 2015 by Martin Ouellet, who currently serves as the CEO. In April 2023, the company rebranded from Voilà! to Evolia, reflecting its expanded services beyond initial scheduling solutions to include a talent pool recruiting platform.

The firm has successfully raised a total of $13 million in capital over two funding rounds. A seed round in October 2019 brought in $3 million from investors including Invest Quebec and Panache Ventures. This was followed by a Series A round in October 2022, which raised approximately $10 million, led by Walter Ventures and with participation from Desjardins. These funding activities support the company's position as a Series A stage venture.

Evolia provides a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform designed to streamline workforce management for medium and large-sized businesses, particularly those in shift-based industries like retail, hospitality, entertainment, and healthcare. The business generates revenue through a tiered subscription model. This includes a free plan for businesses with up to 20 employees and paid plans—Business and Enterprise—with monthly per-user fees that unlock more advanced features. The company also offers discounts for non-profit organizations and accepts various payment methods, including major credit cards and wire transfers for enterprise accounts.

The platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools to manage the entire employee lifecycle. Core functionalities include smart schedule creation, time and attendance tracking, leave management, and internal communications. Features such as automated scheduling, shift swapping, and real-time notifications aim to improve efficiency and employee engagement. The system facilitates time tracking with web and mobile punch clocks, which can be geofenced, and integrates with major HRIS and payroll solutions like QuickBooks, ADP, and Paychex to ensure data synchronization. The platform also includes a recruitment and applicant tracking system (ATS), allowing managers to post jobs, manage applications, and tap into a local talent pool. Accessible via web browsers and dedicated iOS and Android mobile apps, the platform centralizes communication through messaging, announcements, and a digital billboard.
