Prestigious International Annual Awards Program Honors Standout AI Companies & Solutions

Legion Technologies, an innovator in workforce management, today announced that its Legion AI platform has been named “AI-based Workforce Management Solution of the Year” in the 8^th annual AI Breakthrough Awards program conducted by AI Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) market today.

Legion WFM, built on the powerful Legion AI framework, is a comprehensive platform that integrates AI technologies with AI infrastructure and data pipeline to enable intelligent automation across workforce management. Legion provides employees with gig-like schedule flexibility, modern communications, instant access to earned wages, and a mobile app.

In its recent 2025 State of the North American Hourly Workforce Report, Legion uncovered that over half of managers spend more than three hours a week on scheduling tasks—but only 11% have adopted an AI-driven scheduling solution. The survey also found that scheduling is the number-one task managers wish were automated, indicating a critical need for dynamic scheduling tools.

By predicting demand precisely across all locations and touchpoints, Legion AI enables the instant creation of optimized schedules that align with compliance regulations, productivity, skills, budget constraints, projected demand, and employee preferences. Schedule creation is instant, ensuring managers can spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on coaching their teams, connecting with customers, and driving sales.

To further streamline hourly workforce management, Legion has introduced a new fleet of AI Assistants: Scheduling, Expression, Authoring, Translation, and Time and Attendance. Users can interact with these Assistants using natural language to perform tasks, ask questions, or make changes.

“On behalf of Legion Technologies, I humbly accept this award from AI Breakthrough. At a time when employers are under immense pressure to reduce operational waste and maximize their labor spend, Legion helps them extract the most value from every hour by enabling managers to focus on strategic, people-oriented activities–not paperwork,” said Sanish Mondkar, CEO and founder of Legion Technologies. “We’re committed to delivering advanced technology that transforms the way businesses manage their hourly workforces, and it’s an honor to have our innovations recognized at this level.”

The AI Breakthrough Awards shine a spotlight on the boldest innovators and most impactful technologies leading the charge in AI across a comprehensive set of categories, including Generative AI, Computer Vision, AIOps, Agentic AI, Robotics, Natural Language Processing, industry-specific AI applications, and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 5,000 nominations from over 20 different countries throughout the world, underscoring the explosive growth and global importance of AI as a defining technology of the 21st century.

“Legion AI has empowered businesses to maximize labor efficiency and employee engagement simultaneously,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, AI Breakthrough. “Legion workforce management completely transforms operations for employees and managers. By addressing adoption, accuracy, and operational challenges, Legion AI has redefined intelligent workforce management. Congratulations to the entire Legion team on winning ‘AI-based Workforce Management Solution of the Year!’”

This is Legion’s fourth time winning an AI Breakthrough Award. In 2022, 2023, and 2024, the company won “Best AI-based Solution for Workforce Management.”
