Square Acquires Crew to Strengthen Workforce Management Offerings

Business Wire
Square (NYSE: SQ) today announced it has acquired Crew, a
frontline employee platform for consolidating and streamlining the
day-to-day operations of hourly workforces.
Communication is a critical element for all employers managing
teams. With the acquisition of Crew, Square gains a robust
workplace messaging platform that will strengthen, complement, and
scale its existing labor management tools offered through Team
Management, better positioning the company to meet the needs of
larger, more complex sellers. The addition of Crew will also
bolster Square’s existing ecosystem of business solutions and
provide sellers with an integrated, one-stop-shop for messaging,
scheduling, tracking, and paying their team members.
More than half of all wage and salary workers in the U.S. are
paid hourly, and yet the status quo for team communication often
includes a combination of paper announcements in a break room and
fragmented messaging via SMS and group chat apps. Unified team
communication has long been a top feature request of Square
sellers, and with the addition of Crew, Square will be able to
accelerate its labor management roadmap to meet the evolving needs
of today’s business owners.
“Square’s mission of economic empowerment started with enabling
anyone to easily begin taking payments, and since then, we’ve built
an innovative ecosystem of tools to help sellers start, run, grow,
and adapt their businesses,” said Saumil Mehta, General Manager of
Square Point of Sale. “As sellers grow their businesses and teams,
we’re committed to helping them easily manage the daily operations
of their workforce. That’s why we’re thrilled to add Crew’s
powerful technology to our ecosystem and welcome an extremely
experienced and knowledgeable team to the Square family.”
“Crew has always been focused on connecting employees and
leaders in a streamlined way that provides them with the
information, communication, and motivation needed to accomplish
their work, together,” said Broc Miramontes, CEO and co-founder of
Crew. “We’re excited to combine our expertise in building products
for frontline workers with Square’s deep understanding of business
needs to improve the employee experience of Square sellers and set
their teams up for success.”
