ActivTrak's journey began in 2009, founded by Herb Axilrod and Anton Seidler in Dallas, Texas, under Birch Grove Software. The initial vision was to provide insights into workforce activity. This vision materialized with the launch of their first on-demand software product in 2012. Recognizing the growing need for more sophisticated data analysis, ActivTrak launched its workforce analytics platform in 2015. This marked a significant step in the company's evolution, moving beyond simple monitoring to offering deeper, actionable insights into how teams operate and perform. The platform was designed to be cloud-native, ensuring ease of deployment and scalability for its users.

A pivotal moment in ActivTrak's growth came in 2019 when it secured $20 million in a Series A funding round led by Elsewhere Partners. This investment fueled further development and expansion, and Rita Selvaggi took the helm as CEO. The company continued its upward trajectory, and in 2020, it raised an impressive $50 million in a Series B funding round, with Sapphire Ventures joining Elsewhere Partners. This period also saw the introduction of the ActivTrak Productivity Lab, a resource dedicated to research, benchmark data, and best practices in workforce productivity. This initiative underscored ActivTrak's commitment to not just providing a tool, but also to empowering organizations with knowledge. In July 2023, Heidi Farris, who had been instrumental as COO since 2019, was promoted to CEO, bringing her extensive experience in SaaS and go-to-market strategy to lead ActivTrak into its next phase of growth, focusing on expanding its enterprise market share and building on its reputation as a leader in workforce analytics.

Today, ActivTrak is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and serves over 9,500 customers globally, with data sourced from more than 900,000 users. The company prides itself on an employee-centric approach, emphasizing data privacy and security with certifications like SOC 2 Type 2 and compliance with GDPR and CCPA. Their platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools for employee monitoring, productivity management, and workforce planning, all aimed at helping organizations make data-driven decisions to optimize performance, improve efficiency, and support employee well-being in an increasingly digital and often hybrid work environment. ActivTrak continues to innovate, focusing on providing actionable insights that translate into measurable ROI for its diverse clientele across various industries.
