The whole team in one place.
A directory of who’s who and what they do, kept current without a spreadsheet.
New hires, up to speed.
An onboarding checklist so contracts, equipment and accounts are done before day one.
Working time, kept compliant.
Daily hours checked against the ArbZG limits, so the record holds up when it’s asked for.
Leave, always in sync.
Vacation, remote and sick balances update themselves, so HR isn’t the bottleneck.
