zeitkumpel

What it was about

No broken Excel formulas, no bloated enterprise software and no per-seat licence gouging: zeitkumpel is simple time tracking – both for individuals with trust-based hours (B2C) and for teams in workshops, offices and warehouses (B2B).

For solo users, zeitkumpel is the direct drop-in replacement for error-prone Excel spreadsheets: log hours naturally like in a table, while overtime and remaining leave are calculated to the minute, with a print-ready timesheet for employers in a single click. For teams, staff clock in via RFID chip or PIN at the wall terminal, on mobile or in the browser – including leave management, team calendar and ready-to-use DATEV payroll export. zeitkumpel is my own product – from the software to the finished terminal enclosure.

• Flexible clock-in via browser, smartphone or wall terminal
• Kiosk terminal with RFID reader for teams: tap a chip instead of typing passwords, PIN fallback
• Leave management with remaining days, approvals and team calendar
• Time accounts, monthly close and checks against the Working Hours Act
• DATEV payroll export and CSV export for accountants
• Audit-proof change log, flexible team seats and more than 1,780 automated tests
