Flip

Flip is an employee app and intranet for frontline workers, the people with no email address, desk or laptop.

Its site lists an AI employee app, an AI-native intranet, an HR portal for payslips and time-off requests, AI workflows, identity and access management, digital signage, voice and video calls, and an AI app builder. It claims more than 1,000 brands as customers and names Bosch, MAHLE, Penny and KFC among them. Flip's own pitch is a rollout in 30 days. It presents itself as one app for the 2.7 billion frontline workers with no email, desk or laptop.

Flip GmbH is registered in Stuttgart at Rotebühlstraße 50 under HRB 751609, with Benedikt Brand named as legal representative.

The vendor states data is stored in an ISO 27001 certified data centre meeting the C5 standard, on Microsoft Azure in Frankfurt and Berlin, which keeps data in the EU but places the infrastructure with a US provider.

It states ISO 27001 and SOC 2 and says independent third parties audit the platform regularly. A TISAX label appears only in page metadata, so it is not counted here. The page read does not name its subprocessors, so the Trust Center is where to ask.

Flip publishes a starting point that most vendors here do not: the Growth plan for teams up to 300 employees starts from EUR 4,950 per year with bookable add-ons, and Enterprise above 300 employees is a custom quote.

Per-seat prices are not published, and there is no free trial, only a pilot of a few weeks on terms agreed individually. Service levels are stated as 99.5 percent on Growth and 99.9 percent on Enterprise. Flip suits mid-sized and large operators of shop floors, warehouses and care settings. The ROI figures on its site are vendor claims and should be treated that way.

What Flip does well

• A published starting price: Growth from EUR 4,950 per year for up to 300 employees
• Data on Azure in Frankfurt and Berlin, in an ISO 27001 certified data centre meeting C5
• ISO 27001 and SOC 2 stated, with a Trust Center
• HR self-service, identity access and workflows in the same app as the intranet
• Published service levels of 99.5 and 99.9 percent

Where Flip falls short

• Infrastructure runs on Microsoft Azure, a US provider, although in German regions
• No free trial, only a pilot with terms agreed individually
• Per-seat prices are not published and Enterprise is a custom quote
• The ROI figures on the site are vendor claims

Standout feature. A frontline app and intranet from Germany that publishes a starting price and names its hosting regions, which most competitors here do not.
