WorkFlex’s platform replaces fragmented manual workflows with automated systems that manage tax, immigration, and labour law obligations tied to international business travel.
WorkFlex, a platform whose compliance risk engine automates compliance for cross-border business travel and workforce mobility, today announced it has raised €37 million in investment led by Spectrum Equity.
As global business travel continues to grow and cross-border work becomes more common, companies face increasing complexity in managing tax, social security, immigration, and labour law obligations across jurisdictions.
Founded in 2022 in the Netherlands, WorkFlex now processes more than 100,000 cross-border trips annually, with volume growing more than 250 per cent year-over-year across more than 1,000 distinct country combinations.
In 2024 alone, European residents made more than 120 million business trips, according to Eurostat, creating millions of potential compliance events for employers operating internationally.
WorkFlex’s compliance risk engine enables organisations to manage these obligations through automated compliance workflows and audit-ready documentation.
The platform supports processes such as A1-Certificates and Certificates of Coverage (COC), Posted Worker Directive (PWD) notifications, visas, and tax exposure assessments.
Through automated decision logic and integrated documentation management, the platform replaces fragmented manual workflows and advisory processes with structured, scalable compliance technology.
According to Pieter Manden, co-founder of WorkFlex, every cross-border work event triggers a chain of legal and compliance consequences.
“Companies need systems that make those decisions consistent, traceable and defensible. Compliance cannot live in spreadsheets and inboxes anymore — it needs technology.”
Parag Khandelwal, Managing Director at Spectrum Equity, shared:
“As regulatory complexity and enforcement increase, organisations need systems that operationalise compliance across jurisdictions. WorkFlex has built a differentiated platform in this emerging category, and we are excited to support the team as they scale.”
The new investment will allow WorkFlex to accelerate European expansion, deepen product capabilities, and expand into adjacent areas of mobility risk management.
