Digitizing work without a desk

Around 80 percent of all employees in Europe do not work in a traditional office, but in sectors such as trade, care or industry. They often still work with analog processes and handwritten documentation. This is exactly where clockin comes in.

We need to bring all employees into the AI age - especially in small companies. This opens up huge potential for millions of companies.

The platform simplifies typical HR and administrative tasks such as time recording, absence management and shift planning, but also integrates project and order management as well as documentation. As a result, there is less paperwork, less administrative work and more time for customers, projects and the personal development of employees.

AI for mobile teams

While AI is already established in many places in everyday office life, it has so far hardly been used in areas without a desk. clockin wants to close this gap. The software is designed to support mobile teams in construction, care or production with practical AI functions in order to increase efficiency gains and strengthen competitiveness.

From Münster to Europe

clockin was founded in Münster in 2018. The idea arose from feedback from medium-sized companies that were looking for a digital solution to their time-consuming paperwork management. Today, over 6,000 customers in more than 50 industries already use the award-winning app.

"We want nothing less than to free companies and people from paperwork. For the first time, mobile employees are seamlessly integrated into company processes and can work much more efficiently thanks to AI," emphasizes Neuhaus.

For the investors, clockin is an example of a scalable model with clear added value.

The deskless workforce is a huge, previously neglected market. clockin has the potential to become the leading platform in Europe.
