One roster, three points of view.

Planners need rules that think along. Staff need the roster in their pocket. Leadership needs numbers it can trust.

Planners

Set the rules once instead of keeping them in your head every week.

Taktwerk knows your shift patterns, qualifications and the limits set by law and collective agreements. While you assign, you see straight away who fits – and why someone doesn’t.

Rules · Warehouse South

  • Rest between two shifts min. 11 h on
  • Working time per day max. 10 h on
  • Consecutive night shifts max. 4 on
  • Goods-in only with forklift licence Qualification on
  • Share weekends fairly over 8 weeks on
  • Templates for recurring weeks and rotations
  • Offer open shifts to the right people
  • Sick call in the morning: cover found in two clicks

Staff

Their own shifts, their own hours, a swap with a colleague.

In the app, staff see their shifts, enter preferences and holidays, and clock in. When they swap with each other, Taktwerk checks the rules before a planner signs off.

What’s inside

Six building blocks that fit together. Start with the roster and add the rest when you’re ready.

Rostering
Weekly and monthly rosters from templates. Three-shift operations, 12-hour shifts or split shifts in care.
Templates · rotations · demand per area
Availability
Staff enter when they can and can’t work. The roster shows it while you assign.
Day off · holiday · sick leave
Shift swaps
Request, accept, approve. If every rule is met, Taktwerk can approve automatically.
App · with or without sign-off
Time tracking
Clock in via app, browser or a terminal at the entrance. Breaks follow the law and your agreement.
App · web · NFC terminal
Payroll export
Hours, premiums and absences per month as a ready file for payroll.
DATEV · BMD · CSV
Reports
Plan versus actual, overtime, premiums and sickness per site and area.
Monthly · PDF · Excel

From teams that plan with it

Sample quotes – people and companies are fictional.

Our shift lead used to spend half of every Thursday afternoon on the roster and then rewrite it three more times. Now the roster is done by Tuesday, and people sort out swaps among themselves.

Katrin Ebner, Head of Warehouse Spedition Lenz & Söhne · Enns · 140 staff · 3 shifts

When the labour inspectorate came, we could document every shift of the past twelve months. It took a morning, not two weeks.

Markus Pichler, Plant Manager Brucker Kunststofftechnik · Bruck an der Mur · 210 staff

In care, the roster changes almost daily. Since my colleagues see open shifts in the app and volunteer themselves, I spend far less time on the phone in the evenings.

Sabine Wurm, Head of Nursing Pflegewohnhaus Am Weinberg · Potsdam · 85 staff

Your staff data stays in the EU.

Rosters reveal a lot: sick days, holidays, working hours. That’s why Taktwerk runs only in European data centres, and why we’re open about who can see what.

Common questions

What counts as an active person?

Anyone who has at least one shift on the roster in the billing month or signs in to the app. People on parental leave or who have left don’t count. Seasonal staff only cost you in the months they work.

Is there a minimum term?

Billed monthly, you can cancel at the end of any month. Billed yearly, the contract runs twelve months and costs about 15% less. We bill a minimum of 10 active people.

How long does rollout take?

For one site, usually two to three weeks: import staff data from Excel, set up shift patterns and rules, one training session for planners. On Enterprise, we set everything up for you.

Can I try Taktwerk first?

30 days with every Plus feature, no credit card. The trial ends on its own, and you can export your data before it does.

What about the works council?

In Austria and Germany, time tracking and rostering require works council consent. We provide a template agreement and can join your meeting with the council.

Which payroll systems are supported?

Exports in DATEV and BMD formats plus a configurable CSV file. The API (Enterprise plan) connects further systems.
