About us
We started Workforce Innovation Solutions in Manchester in 2025. Before that, we spent a decade building Malinko, a scheduling platform used by organisations across the UK and now part of Civica.
Ten years of that work taught us where scheduling really hurts. The rules that make a good rota live in spreadsheets and in people's heads, and skilled staff lose weeks at a time applying them by hand. When the person who knows the rules is away, everything stalls.
So we build software that captures those rules once and does the heavy lifting: generating schedules, scoring them for fairness, and showing the reasoning so people can trust the result.
Founders
Andrew created Malinko and has spent more than a decade building workforce software that organisations rely on every day.
A developer, project manager and business owner, he is at his best turning messy operational problems into working software.
LinkedIn
Kyle was a senior engineer at Malinko from its early days through to its sale, and built or helped build most of the platform. Along the way he saw the same problem again and again: scheduling takes skilled people away from the job they are actually there to do.
He makes the technical decisions at Workforce Innovation Solutions and builds our products, including Wefen's scheduling engine: the rules, the generation and the scoring at its heart.

Our product
Wefen takes the scheduling rules an organisation already has, builds a complete schedule against all of them at once, and shows the reasoning behind every assignment.
