Bellevue-based labor analytics tool Easy Metrics has landed $31 million from Nexa Equity, a private equity firm based in San Francisco.

The companies announced the funding Tuesday, adding that the money will help with product development and acquisitions. The investment comes after Nexa Equity raised a $330 million fund last year.

"Nexa Equity is a partner that has the expertise, resources, and shared vision to achieve our long-term goals.”

Easy Metrics was founded in 2012, according to its LinkedIn page. The company works with warehouses and manufacturers to track productivity, missing time and overtime costs, among other data. Easy Metrics allows clients to see the cost for every employee labor action and how costs vary by employee or shift.
