Rhys Greensill Co-Founder & Managing Director

Using technology to address the mundane and solve the points of pain in your business is the reason Stephen and I started StaffSync more than a decade ago, focused on the education sector. As the business grew and expanded beyond schools, we launched Simplifi, our workforce management solution designed to make managing staff simple.

Creating software that works and is intuitive is what motivates me each day. With expertise in strategic planning, business development, and operational improvement, I’ve worked across a wide range of industries, including tech startups and consultancy. I bring over three decades of business experience, both as a Management Consultant (Regional Head, Asia Pacific at Jaako Poyry Consulting) and an owner of one of NZ’s first successful SaaS businesses (TenderLink).

To achieve our goal of creating Australasia’s premium workforce management software, my job is focused on building a strong team. To this end, I am in the fortunate position of employing some incredible talented people. The key quality that I look for in our staff is a willingness to help others because, based on over 30 years’ experience, I believe collaboration is the key ingredient for all successful companies. I see this trait flowing through Simplifi everywhere – from the close relationship our BDMs client services team have with our clients, to the nights and weekends our Tech team devote to solving any issues that arise, through to the fantastic support we offer through our 0800 and 1800 help lines.

As the co-founder of Simplifi, I’ve channelled my passion for technology into bringing together this phenomenal team to create a platform to streamline workforce management. Our vision has enabled businesses – from schools to large retailers and hospitals – to manage both casual and permanent staff more effectively through an intuitive app, saving time and money through our innovative technology solutions that simplify the complex challenges that we face.

Stephen Persson Co-Founder & Director, Information Technology

With more than 20-years’ experience and a passion for turning ideas into smart software solutions, I thrive on creating tools that remove unnecessary pain and complexity from people’s work lives. As Director of Information Technology at Simplifi, I’ve been instrumental in developing our platform so that it can solve the real-world workforce management problems that people face in their daily roles.

Simplifi has given me the opportunity to collaborate with an amazing team of skilled professionals, all committed to addressing pain points in workforce management. From brainstorming concepts to seeing how our software makes a tangible impact for our clients, it’s incredibly rewarding to witness how our solutions simplify tasks and transform the way people work.

I’m really proud of what we’ve been able to achieve over the past decade. Our team’s ability to tackle complex problems has allowed us to deliver cutting-edge technology that drives real change. We’re at a real inflection point right now and I can’t wait to see what the next decade will bring for our business!

Peter Hind Software Developer

As a software developer at Simplifi, I’m all about developing highly functional software that solves real problems. I’ve loved tech since I was a little kid programming rubbish games on an old BBC Microcomputer, and now I’m putting that passion to use helping to create some truly impressive (and non-rubbish) software. At Simplifi, I’m lucky to be involved in all areas of development, from creating new features to debugging and solving issues raised by clients.


I’m that rare breed of developer who is a techy-nerd-geek but also very much a people-person, so I get an extra-special kick out of watching the features we develop go on to have a measurable, positive impact on peoples’ lives and work.
We’ve achieved a couple of major milestones recently, and I can’t wait to see what else we can do as we bring more businesses on board!
