Our Commitment to Improving Workplaces

Co-founders Andrew Bone and Dr. Alastair Andrew combined expertise in AI and finance to create a world-class product that would revolutionize resource management. Andrew, a Chartered Accountant with PwC and RBS, saw first-hand the challenges of inefficient resource management, and Alastair, a PhD graduate in combinatorial optimization, brought deep expertise in AI-driven planning and scheduling. Together, they set out to develop a cutting-edge solution that would transform workforce planning in professional services.

Dayshape’s breakthrough came in 2016 with PwC Poland, proving the power of AI-driven project planning. Since then, the company has experienced remarkable growth, ranking as Scotland’s fastest-growing tech firm three years in a row and expanding into 55+ countries. A major investment from Cow Corner in 2023 fueled further global expansion, particularly in the US, while a leadership transition in 2024 set the stage for the next chapter. In 2024, Matt Cockett joined as the new CEO to lead the business into its next stage, while Andrew became Chairman and directed his day-to-day focus on his passion for tech innovation to lead our product team as Dayshape’s VP Product.

Dayshape's purpose is to improve people’s working lives, and the mission is clear: to harness the power of AI and data to elevate resource management in professional services firms to a strategic function. We help drive revenue, deliver insights that improve decision-making, and build strong organizations and fulfilling careers for the long term. With a vision to define the future of AI-powered resource management, helping organizations achieve extraordinary results, Dayshape is reshaping how firms approach workforce planning. Now, with customers across audit, consulting, tax, IT services, and media agencies, Dayshape is redefining resource management as a strategic function, delivering smarter ways to optimize teams and achieve success.
