NPIF Maven Equity Finance has led a £250,000 funding round for fissara, a software platform that enables its clients to plan, manage, schedule and track their mobile workforce as they move, improving business efficiency and reducing costs.

NPIF Maven Equity Finance, part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund and managed by Maven Capital Partners, originally invested £500,000 in fissara in January 2020. The investment, which also includes £125,000 from the UK Government’s Future Fund, will help the Wythenshawe-based business capitalise on new market opportunities created by the increasing importance of digital transformation projects for UK business decision-makers, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
