From stacks of paper to one tap

One tool for the whole workflow: school assistants sign their hours on a phone, and coordinators export the official funding-body proof in a click — no more paper timesheets sent by WhatsApp and re-keyed into spreadsheets.

From paper to platform

  1. Problem

    Over 150 school assistants log every hour on paper. Photos of timesheets arrive via WhatsApp, the office re-types them into spreadsheets – and every month the funding-body proof is rebuilt by hand. Slow, and easy to get wrong.

  2. Solution

    Together with Lebenshilfe Munich, we build a central, GDPR-compliant platform that captures hours digitally, signs them securely and exports them ready for billing.

  3. In progress

    Pilot & Testing

    The first version is now running with the initial school companions in a real-world test. We refine the solution step by step based on their feedback.

  4. Up next

    Rollout & Scale

    Next, we automate further processes and bring the solution to Lebenshilfe organizations across Germany – freeing up more time for the children.

The School-Companion Platform

Assistants record hours on their phone and sign with a finger. Sick days, substitutions and holidays update the plan automatically. Coordinators see everything in one view and export the funding-body report in a few clicks.
