Wellington-based software vendor Core Schedule has raised $NZ1.2 million from early stage technology venture capital firm the Punakaiki Fund to expand its hospital staff rostering solution, which was developed for New Zealand emergency departments and is now used in over 80 hospitals in New Zealand, Australia and the US.

Core Schedule recently introduced a new feature that allows staff to be tagged as “not available – in isolation” so managers can see who is able to work during the coronavirus pandemic.
