Building for New Zealand pharmacies

Better pharmacy staffing starts here.

Locumo is building practical digital tools to help New Zealand pharmacies fill shifts, coordinate locums, and simplify back-office work — so you can focus on patient care.

Launching soon across Aotearoa.

Who we are

Meet Locumo.

We’re a New Zealand startup building practical digital services for the pharmacy sector. Our mission is simple: remove the friction between pharmacies and the professionals who support them.

  • Founded in NZ, for NZ.
  • Built by people who understand pharmacy operations.
  • Focused on trust, compliance, and real-world usefulness — not hype.

The problem

Pharmacy staffing shouldn’t be this hard.

Every week, NZ pharmacy owners and locum pharmacists deal with the same fragmented, manual processes. There’s a better way.

  • Last-minute gaps

    A shift opens tonight — and you're still texting around at 9 pm trying to fill it.

  • Manual coordination

    Spreadsheets, emails, phone tag. The same conversations, week after week.

  • Compliance paperwork

    Practising certificates, APC checks, insurance — tracked by hand, easy to miss.

  • Invoicing friction

    End-of-month chasing, manual reconciliation, and delays that no one needs.

Our first platform

Locum staffing, simplified.

Our debut platform is being purpose-built for New Zealand pharmacies — a complete locum staffing and workflow solution in one place.

Step 01

Sign up & verify

We'll handle the credential verification, so you won't have to.

Step 02

Post or browse

Pharmacies will post shifts in seconds. Locums will find work that fits.

Step 03

Work & get paid

Complete the shift and you'll get paid on time. We're eliminating invoice chasing.

Designing for both sides of the counter

Who is Locumo for?

For pharmacy owners & managers

  • Fill shifts faster with pre-verified locums ready to work.
  • Replace scattered texts and calls with a single booking flow.
  • Stay compliant — credentials are checked before a locum goes live.
  • Cut admin time on invoicing and timesheets.

Trust & compliance

Why pharmacies trust Locumo.

Trust is foundational to pharmacy practice. Locumo is built around structured workflows, verified credentials, and reliable processes — not just convenience.

  • APC & credential verification

    Every locum will be credential-checked before ever appearing in search results.

  • Designed for New Zealand

    Being built from the ground up around NZ pharmacy regulations, Pharmacy Council requirements, and Aotearoa's specific workforce context.

  • Data hosted securely

    Your information will be protected with industry-standard security practices and responsible data handling.

  • Transparent pricing

    No hidden fees. No surprises at end of month. Clear rates, clear timesheets, clear payments.

Our vision

Building the infrastructure pharmacies deserve.

Locumo starts with staffing — because gaps in the roster hurt everyone. But we’re building toward something bigger: practical digital infrastructure for every part of pharmacy operations.

Our long-term vision

We're starting with locum staffing, but we're building toward a broader operations platform — more services, fewer headaches.

Connected infrastructure

Our goal is connected operational infrastructure for pharmacies — scheduling, compliance, payroll, and more, in one ecosystem.

Built for Aotearoa

Every development decision is actively guided by what actually works in New Zealand pharmacies — not borrowed from overseas templates.
