1992

Deputy started because Steve needed help

Steve Shelley’s business was experiencing rapid organic growth, and that meant taking on more staff and all the time-consuming employee admin that came with it. Steve lost most of his time to managing constant schedule changes and overseeing his teams — instead of focusing on the business strategy and sustainable growth. He needed someone to help carry the admin workload.

2003

Problem, meet solution

Enter Ashik Ahmed, who built a platform for Steve to automate scheduling and time and attendance management. The software reduced manual staffing tasks to zero and provided valuable insights to increase operational efficiency. Steve relied on the platform like a second-in-command — a deputy — and it freed him to focus on expansion. His business grew to 1,500 people without any additional IT or administrative staff.

2008

Deputy officially launched

With the advent of the cloud, Steve and Ashik saw the potential impact Deputy could have in any workplace, anywhere. Having sold his existing business, Steve co-founded Deputy with Ashik to take their staffing solution worldwide.
