Insights
AMN Healthcare's divestiture of Smart Square to symplr streamlines operations while maintaining market access through strategic partnership.
This strategic divestiture represents a portfolio rationalization move for AMN Healthcare, as the company sells its Smart Square scheduling software to symplr while establishing a commercial partnership to maintain market presence. The transaction allows AMN to sharpen its strategic focus on its Workwise platform encompassing workforce advisory, planning AI, staffing, and analytics solutions.
What's particularly notable about this transaction is that AMN isn't abandoning the scheduling market entirely. The commercial partnership ensures AMN can continue offering scheduling capabilities to clients through symplr's platform, creating a capital-light approach to market access. This suggests a deliberate strategy to concentrate resources on core competencies while maintaining ecosystem reach.
The divested Smart Square asset appears to be high-quality, having received the 2025 Best in KLAS recognition for Nurse & Staff Scheduling, which indicates AMN is divesting from a position of strength rather than shedding an underperforming asset. For symplr, which already offers "one of the most comprehensive people management systems for all roles in healthcare," this acquisition enhances their AI-driven scheduling capabilities and strengthens their healthcare operations platform.
While financial terms remain undisclosed, this transaction represents AMN's strategic recalibration toward its Workwise platform. The partnership structure suggests AMN values continued association with workforce scheduling but prefers a partner-enabled approach rather than direct ownership, allowing for more focused capital deployment and operational attention.
Strengthening symplr's commitment to helping providers optimize staffing, operations, and outcomes
This strategic acquisition strengthens symplr's position in healthcare workforce and operations management and further bolsters the symplr Operations Platform by offering a powerful combination of Best in KLAS solutions for nurse and staff scheduling and timekeeping. symplr currently offers one of the most comprehensive people management systems for all roles in healthcare, including provider credentialing, provider directory, physician scheduling, timekeeping, clinical communication, and quality management solutions. Smart Square enhances symplr's broader suite of workforce and talent solutions by offering a cloud-based SaaS workforce management solution with AI-driven scheduling capabilities such as predictive analytics, real-time staffing adjustments, open-shift management and nurse competency integration. AMN will accelerate its focus on the Workwise platform that includes workforce advisory, planning AI, staffing and analytics solutions.
"A critical way for hospitals and health systems to unlock greater value from their technology is to arm them with intelligent, purpose-built solutions," said BJ Schaknowski, CEO of symplr. "Bringing Smart Square's AI-driven scheduling engine into the symplr Operations Platform helps us stay ahead of the emerging and dynamic needs of the healthcare workforce."
symplr's Time and Attendance technology has earned the Best in KLAS category for timekeeping for over two decades, largely due to its ability to manage the healthcare industry's most complex pay policies. Smart Square was also awarded 2025 Best in KLAS for Scheduling: Nurse & Staff. The solution is a leader in leveraging AI predictive analytics and real-time EMR-driven staffing, highly tailored for complex healthcare environments. With this strategic acquisition, symplr reaffirms its commitment to empowering healthcare organizations with actionable data and technology to create efficiencies, contain costs, and improve patient outcomes.
"Advancing our software offerings to further reduce administrative burden and streamline processes is imperative," said Theresa Meadows, Chief Information Officer in Residence of symplr. "This acquisition deepens our investment in automation and AI, helping healthcare leaders anticipate staffing needs, deploy resources more intelligently to the front lines of healthcare operations, and enhance the user experience."
In addition to the acquisition, symplr and AMN have entered into a commercial partnership that ensures customers get the best of both worlds: symplr's experience in operational technology and AMN's leadership in healthcare workforce solutions.
"Healthcare organizations are navigating unprecedented workforce complexity. This deal accelerates our focus on workforce planning, analytics and AI with our WorkWise platform, while seamlessly integrating with scheduling and operational tools through strategic technology partnerships like symplr," said Cary Grace, President and CEO at AMN Healthcare.
