Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Field Supervisor

Weighted verdict

Supervises crews on sites with no reliable signal and no desks. Judges everything by whether it works in a basement at 6am: offline capture, a shared terminal, corrections a foreman can make without a support ticket. A cloud-only app is a tool that will be filled in from memory on Friday.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Field Supervisor

Capture in the real workplace

How this is scored

How time actually gets recorded across the workforces a buyer has — desk staff, field and site crews, shift and deskless workers — and what happens when the network is not there.

0 — One browser timer and nothing else; anyone away from a desk records nothing.

3 — Web plus a mobile app, but no offline capture, no shared terminal, and corrections are an admin task rather than a workflow.

5 — Web, mobile and at least one shared capture point (kiosk, terminal or badge), with offline capture that syncs, and a correction workflow with approval.

8 — Several capture paths including hardware terminals or badge readers, reliable offline handling, GPS or geofenced check-in where the vendor states its limits, and bulk correction with an audit trail of who changed what.

10 — Capture fits the workforce rather than the reverse: desk, deskless, field and shift models all first-class, offline as a designed state rather than a failure mode, and every correction attributable, reasoned and reversible.

The Field Supervisor

The clock app is stated to keep recording with no signal and sync when it returns, and any standard tablet or PC becomes a punch terminal without special hardware — the basement test is addressed head-on, with GPS location at stamping included. Times are adjustable online, but we found no public information on a correction approval flow, a change history of who edited what, badge readers, or stated limits on geofencing. 1 6 7 8

Working-time law & audit record

How this is scored

Whether the record satisfies the German recording duty (BAG 2022, § 3 ArbSchG) and the ArbZG rules around it — breaks, maximum hours, rest periods, retention — and whether it survives being inspected.

0 — Hours are summed and nothing else; no break handling, no limits, no retention statement.

3 — Break deduction exists but is a flat rule; no daily maximum or rest-period checks, and no stated retention period.

5 — Configurable break rules, warnings on the 8/10-hour daily maximum and the 11-hour rest period, and per-employee reports covering the recording duty.

8 — The ArbZG rules are modelled rather than approximated: break and rest enforcement with documented exceptions, overtime and time-account rules, the two-year retention handled by the system, and an export built for an inspection.

10 — The vendor treats the record as evidence: tamper-evident entries with full change history, retention and deletion executed per statute, documented handling of on-call, standby and travel time, and published guidance mapping features to the ArbZG sections they serve.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

The pages state the EuGH and BAG rulings and §17 MiLoG are "automatisch erfüllt" and that hours are stored per the Minimum Wage Act's documentation rules, with an automatic overtime account — claims rather than modelled rules. We found no public information on break handling, daily maximum or 11-hour rest checks, or a stated retention period for the time record itself. 6 8

Absence & shift planning

How this is scored

Vacation, sickness and the shift or duty roster — the half of attendance that decides whether the time data means anything.

0 — No absence handling; vacation lives in a separate calendar or spreadsheet.

3 — Vacation requests with approval, but entitlement is manual, carry-over is not handled and there is no rostering.

5 — Automatic entitlement and carry-over, sickness recording, an absence calendar, and basic shift planning with availability.

8 — Public-holiday calendars per location, pro-rata entitlement, substitution and swap workflows, shift templates with qualification and rest-period checks, and coverage warnings before publication.

10 — Planning and recording are one system: rosters that respect statutory rest and the works agreement, absence that reflows the plan automatically, and forecast-versus-actual reporting a team lead can act on.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

Vacation requests go in with one click and get approved or rejected with an email to the employee, sickness and training are recorded absence types, a vacation calculator with annual entitlement is listed, and a shift planner with templates and automatic shifts is priced separately. We found no public information on carry-over, per-location public-holiday calendars, substitution or swap workflows, or rest checks and coverage warnings in the roster. 2 7 10

Project, cost-centre & billing

How this is scored

Whether recorded time can carry the allocation an agency, workshop or professional-services firm needs — project, task, cost centre, billable status — through to an invoice or a client report.

0 — Attendance only; no project, task or cost-centre dimension at all.

3 — A free-text note or a single project field, with no rates, no billable flag and no per-project reporting.

5 — Projects and tasks with a billable flag and per-project reports, plus a rate per person or per project.

8 — Multi-level structure (client, project, task, cost centre), rate cards by person, role and project, budget tracking with warnings, and an invoice-ready export.

10 — Time becomes revenue without re-entry: approval before billing, rate rules that survive a rate change mid-project, client-facing reports, and a maintained handoff into named accounting or invoicing systems.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

Time allocates minute-accurate to projects, customers and activities, with evaluations per project or customer and freely formulable time categories — more than a single note field. We found no public information on a billable flag, rate cards or budget tracking, and the outputs shown are Excel exports and printable timesheets rather than an invoice-ready handoff. 6 7 8

Report an error

Payroll handoff

How this is scored

How the recorded month reaches payroll — DATEV, Lohn und Gehalt, an in-house system or the tax adviser — and how much of it is automated rather than retyped.

0 — No payroll path stated; the month leaves as a spreadsheet someone retypes.

3 — Generic CSV said to be usable for payroll, with no named system, no defined format and no handling of surcharges.

5 — A named payroll integration or a documented export format for at least one major system, covering hours, absences and overtime.

8 — Vendor-maintained integration with a named provider, covering night, Sunday and holiday surcharges, time accounts and mid-month changes, with a lock step before transmission.

10 — Payroll is designed for, not exported to: several named systems maintained, an auditable approval and lock, retro handling for corrections after the close, and the tax adviser given their own scoped access.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

The vendor is a licensed DATEV partner offering a direct interface, absences export via DATEV or Excel, an automatic overtime account feeds the month, and the top package lists surcharges included. We found no public information on night, Sunday and holiday surcharge detail, mid-month changes, or a lock step before transmission. 6 7 10

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the data lives, who the contracting entity is, who the subprocessors are, and whether that is documented rather than assumed. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; scored here as this buyer weighs it.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting region unstated or non-EU, subprocessors not named.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option, but the contracting entity is non-EU or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but the subprocessor chain includes non-EU providers without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU or DACH hosting with a named data-centre provider, EU contracting entity, full subprocessor list published, and any non-EU processing named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor in the EU, data-centre certification published, and an on-premises or private-cloud option for buyers who need it.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

A German contracting entity on the Munich register with a German VAT ID, servers stated exclusively in Germany with AWS named as serving only from Frankfurt, and a data-processing agreement concluded automatically with the terms. The same pages confirm US-based processors exist, and we found no public information on ownership, data-centre certification, or a complete published subprocessor list beyond a change-history entry. 3 1 5

Report an error

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual invoice for their headcount — including terminals, modules and minimums — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A per-user headline exists, but hardware, modules or a minimum seat count are unpriced or unmentioned.

5 — Per-user prices public for the main tiers with the billing period stated, but at least one commonly needed piece (terminal hardware, planning module, payroll export) sits in an unpriced bundle.

8 — Every tier and module priced publicly with per-user maths, billing period, minimum term and VAT treatment stated; only genuinely custom work lacks a number.

10 — Complete price computability: a calculator or table producing the annual invoice for a given headcount and module selection, including hardware, setup and renewal terms.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

Three tiers carry public per-user from-prices of 1,50 €, 2 € and 3 € per month at annual billing with VAT stated as excluded, the shift planner is priced separately, and the terminal runs on existing tablets so no hardware line item arises. But from-pricing combined with openly custom pricing by functions, user count and payment modality means a buyer cannot compute the real annual invoice, and we found no public information on monthly billing rates or a minimum term. 2 6 9

European sovereignty — proven facts

2 of 4 dimensions proven

Built only from facts shown on the vendor's own pages. A dimension we could not prove is left open, not scored as zero.

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 15 Sep 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
Weak sourcing — Legal entity. No country is named outright on the imprint; DE is derived from the Munich commercial register and the German VAT-ID prefix.
Weak sourcing — Data residency. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
Weak sourcing — Subprocessors. AWS serves the product only from the Frankfurt data center per the same page, so exposure stems from the US parent company rather than server location; the excerpt also confirms 'Auftragsverarbeiter aus den USA' exist.
AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
