Detailed Review
Planerio is a Munich-based shift planning and time recording tool with an algorithm that builds a rota at the push of a button, absence management for short-notice drop-outs across locations, an employee app, payroll preparation and analytics.
It targets larger organisations with a clear sector focus: healthcare, social services, security and rescue, retail, logistics and industry, from small teams up to 5,000 or more employees. The vendor says that more than 4,000 locations in the EU plan with it, and that its time recording follows the German working time rules and the European Court of Justice ruling on time recording.
The imprint names Planerio GmbH at Oberanger 32 in Munich, registered at the Amtsgericht München under HRB 224613, and lists four managing directors. The about page says it was founded in 2016 by three co-founders and employs more than 100 people.
The homepage states GDPR compliance and a server location in Germany, with phone lines for Germany and Switzerland. It does not name the hosting provider on the pages checked, and no ISO certificate appears there, so security teams should ask for the audit documentation.
Planerio publishes no prices. The site routes buyers to a personal demo or a weekly free live webinar, and there is no self-service sign-up. That is normal for tools sold to hospitals and large employers, but it removes the quick comparison that Shiftbase or Findmyshift allow.
The vendor lists more than 100 interfaces to payroll and other systems and publishes API documentation. Expect an implementation project rather than a download, and ask for the price per employee and per location in writing before comparing it with the per-user tools in this list.
