Staff request leave and clock in on their phones, and you just approve. Tiveo works out holidays, part-time and remaining leave.
Free for up to 5 employees, no payment details needed
It’s free and needs no payment details. Sample data is optional.
Type the names, paste a list or upload the Excel leave planner’s workbook. Moving from Excel
Decide once who approves and which holidays apply.
By email or join link. Planning works without accounts, too.
For your staff
It works in the browser or as an app, in the language each person picks.
For managers and owners
Each request shows who else is off at the same time and what that means for the roster. The leave left afterwards is already worked out.
Notice board and push
It replaces the sheet of paper by the gate. Push notifications say what is waiting but leave out names and details.
Absences are always on. Switch on the other four when you need them.
Leave, sick days and other absences share one calendar, and each person’s leave balance stays up to date.
People clock in on a phone, in the browser or at a terminal. That gives you an hours balance and a payroll export.
You set how many people each shift needs. Tiveo checks the roster before you publish it, and staff can swap shifts among themselves.
For safety briefings, first aiders and training points you see who has what and what runs out soon.
Still in beta: you start a trip the way you clock in, and the odometer has no gaps. Tiveo adds up costs and mileage allowance.
Customers
For years we ran leave, on-call duty and working hours in Excel. Tiveo has done it since October, and our engineers now swap their call-out weeks between themselves. Whenever something was missing, it was usually there a few days later.

Modules in use
In a practice you need to know every day who’s in. With Tiveo I see the whole team’s leave and sickness in one calendar and decide requests on my phone. Whenever we asked for a change, it was made quickly and without any fuss.

Modules in use
A practice plans differently from a care ward, so each industry template brings its usual shifts and staffing.
You can download every document before signing up.
Database, files and email are with providers based in Germany.
Pre-filled and ready to download.
If you have a works council, adapt the Word file for them.
Colleagues see “absent”; only managers and HR see the reason.
The application is new
The leave calculation behind it has been maintained in the leave planner for Excel since 2017, across 67 releases. Who is behind Tiveo
Free for up to 5 employees with absences and shift planning, then priced by headcount. You can try a paid plan of your choice free for a month.
| Plan | Free | Team | Business | Company |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Employees | up to 5 | up to 15 | up to 50 | up to 100 |
| Price per month | €0 | €19 | €59 | €119 |
| All modules | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
The database and files are on a server in Germany that we run ourselves; the sign-in protection runs there too. Email and program files are with a hosting provider, also in Germany. The full list is on the “Security” page and in Annex 3 of the data processing agreement.
For each type of absence you decide who sees the reason. For sick leave, colleagues only see “absent” by default. The reason is never even sent to their browser.
No. You can plan for everyone without anyone signing up. Emails, such as the reminder before leave expires, then only reach people with their own access; you tell the others yourself.
No. The paid plans include every module, the free plan absences and shift planning. Switch time recording, shift planning, qualifications and the vehicle logbook (beta) on when you need them.
Tiveo runs in the browser and can be installed as an app, no app store needed. Employees read the interface in ten languages; emails and administration stay in German or English. Each person switches push notifications on per device; they name only the occasion, such as “New notice”, never names or dates. On iPhone and iPad this works in the installed app.
Tiveo calculates by the statutory rules and by your settings, including the cases that are commonly got wrong: pro-rata entitlement under § 5 BUrlG, moving to part-time, expiry only after a timely reminder. Collective agreements are taken into account as far as you set them up; none of this replaces a legal review.
If you only cancel the paid plan, you carry on in the free plan with all your data. If the contract ends altogether, you have 30 days to export, as CSV files or a full export. After that we delete your data, except what we are required to keep.
Or look round the demo first, with sample data and no sign-up.
