Everyday life without a system

Weekly time sheet in the van

On Fridays, hours get reconstructed from memory.

Crew lists

The site foreman keeps lists, the office waits - and the month is already over.

Reporting deadline missed

The immediate notification for new hires is easy to forget - and gets expensive.

Presio turns every one of these points into a single step. Here's what that looks like:

Clock in on the go

Clock in where the work happens - with geofencing

  • Location detected: With geofencing, the app knows which construction site or route someone is clocking in at - the work location sets itself automatically.
  • Even offline: No signal on the construction site? Clock entries are saved and synced later.
  • Evaluable by location: The hours land in the report already assigned to the correct work location.

Tip: the clock-in button on the phone on the right actually works.

annual vacation planning

A whole year of vacation - settled in one morning

  • Collect wishes instead of notes: While the wish window is open, everyone submits their periods for next year - with a priority and a reason, straight from the app.
  • Bottlenecks visible at once: The year overview shows for every day how many are missing and how many are in - optionally per qualification or workplace. Where it gets too tight, it turns red.
  • Release it, done: You drag periods with the mouse and release with a click - they become real approved vacation in the calendar. Late entries stay possible.
Project time tracking

Where the hours went - without guessing at month end

  • Picked when clocking in: Tap the project or cost centre when clocking in, switch it mid-shift, assign it afterwards - no second app, no paper slip.
  • Budget in view: Store budgets in hours, days, euros or FTE; the bar always shows how much has been used.
  • Ready for invoicing and costing: Hours per project and person, expandable down to the individual, exported to Excel.

Externe Freigabe der Stunden: QR-Code und Link, den der Bauherr auf dem Handy scannt, samt Stundenaufstellung und Kosten
External approval of hours

The client confirms the hours right there on the building site

  • A QR code instead of a timesheet: You compile the recorded hours for a period and show the code. The site owner or client scans it - no account, no app, straight from their phone.
  • They see what they are signing: Person, day, hours, and if you want the euro amount per employee and trade. Approve or reject with a name and a note - recorded with the time.
  • The invoice at month end: The same hours become the monthly statement with an invoice total that goes straight to the client. No retyping, no arguing about hours.
Meal allowance

The allowance works itself out

  • Derived from the recorded times: Work locations are marked as away; the time spent there yields the statutory allowance - over eight hours, per day and person.
  • Absence, not working time: Counted from the first clock-in to the last clock-out. Whoever leaves in the morning and returns in the evening gets the allowance even with a long break in between.
  • Honest about its limits: Whether someone stayed overnight is beyond any punch record. Mark such days in the same row - only then does the full daily rate apply.

Expiring leave

The notice without which nothing expires

  • No notice, no expiry: Since the European and Federal Labour Court rulings, remaining leave only expires if the employer gave a timely, individual and provable notice. Otherwise it adds up over the years - and is paid out on departure.
  • One click instead of a mail merge: Presio knows every balance, shows everyone with days left and delivers the notice: in the app and by email, with the exact number and the exact expiry date.
  • Evidence that stays: Wording, recipient, channel and time are recorded immutably. Evidence you can change afterwards is not evidence in court.
Why Presio is a good fit here

Made for your everyday work

  • Clocking in on the construction site: On your own phone, with work location - no more paperwork chaos in the van.
  • Crews & groups: Every crew or team is a group in the schedule; the foreman or supervisor sees their own people, the office sees everyone.
  • Sofortmeldung built in: Report new employees to social security right when they're hired - before the first hour starts.
  • Hours overview for the client: Clear hours overview per project or site - exported as PDF straight to the client for billing.
  • Project times: Choose the construction site or job when clocking in, switch during the day - hours per project for post-costing and time-and-materials billing.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers

Does the Sofortmeldung obligation apply to us too?

On construction sites and in some trades, yes - that's why the SV-Sofortmeldung (immediate social security notification) is built directly into Presio when you add an employee.

What about apprentices and minijob workers?

Individual weekly hours, vacation entitlements and clock-in methods per person - even mixed within the same business.
