Watch 'Staff planning just got magical'

The entire company meets for a 4-day company retreat near Brindisi (IT). We enjoy outings under olive trees, but also collectively dip our toes into the sea and dive into discussions about new projects.

We forge a digital connection between personnel service providers and their customers. With Tempcloud, we have created a platform which makes fulfilling staff requests easier than ever. Staff can be provided in just a few clicks.

Our first Flexwork Summit took place in Vienna. You can find some insights from the summit here (in German).

Our free-trial version is now live. From now on, anyone can test Staffcloud for free. All they need to do is register and start scheduling! It may look easy from a user's perspective, but the project has been one year in the making.

We launch our Customer Success Center (CSC) in the heart of Vienna. From now on, all onboarding and support requests from German-speaking clients will be handled here, at Gumpendorferstrasse 19 in the 6th District. Employees and customers alike benefit from our state-of-the-art offices.

While the Coronavirus pandemic remains a current issue, the first steps towards large-scale vaccination are made. Staffcloud helps manage thousands of medical helpers (doctors, nurses) in several Swiss cantons and in the German county of North Rhine-Westphalia. Switzerland's largest newspaper, "Blick", and the news portal startupticker.ch featured articles about our efforts in this area.

Amid the pandemic, we keep releasing new features. An availabilities calendar is added to the employee app, while project management is visually upgraded and now offers a shift planning option. In addition, there are more ways to easily plan long-term assignments. Despite the crisis, Staffcloud's development is going strong.

For us, the pandemic means helping state institutions manage their volunteers. Swiss canton Thurgau, for example, has recruited 3,000 volunteers to work in the healthcare sector – wherever they are needed. Staffcloud also aids in managing a pool of volunteers in the Swiss canton Appenzell.

We are looking back on a successful year 2019. It has marked the second year with a growth of over 20% for us, and we have also welcomed customers in new countries and industries. Staffcloud is now used in 7 nations and around 100,000 staff members are managed by Staffcloud customers.

Staffcloud gets its first client in the US. The Philadelphia-based staffing agency provides all types of events, as well as bars and hotels, with catering staff. The US is now one of six countries in which Staffcloud is used.

"Have my staff members reached their allowed workload?" This can now quickly be answered with our "working hours" module. The number of hours is not only shown in staff planning, as well as the employee's profile, their maximum workload per month can also be seen in the calendar.

With the help of two professional actors, as well as several extras, we produce our first Staffcloud film. The story brings light entertainment to our software tool and aims to put a smile on viewers' faces. Filming takes place in Zurich's Maag Event Hall. You can watch the film at the top of the page.

For temporary employees, the most important thing to know is last month's wages. All submitted and approved work data is now available to be displayed within employee accounts. Of course, the employer ultimately decides which data (hours worked, breaks, hourly wages, etc.) can actually be accessed.   

The wage system can now accurately reflect collective labour agreements (CLA) and collective bargaining agreements. Thus, age and time periods can now be added to wage profiles. This ensures, for example, that employees receive the correct wages defined for their age group.  

The automatic integration with Formstack is fully operational and clients have started incorporating it into their business. Staff can now fill in and submit personalised reporting forms electronically.

Staffcloud and Bankettprofi are now connected! An automatic interface allows both leading systems to exchange all important data.

It is even easier to process work data through bulk editing. Work data for the whole project can be changed or approved – no matter how many employees are currently working on this project.

A new module is added to the app. Employees can now very easily submit work data such as time proposals, expenses, documents or photos through the app.

The new website staff.cloud goes live.

Staffcloud is gradually replacing Event Commander. A new name, new design and a new functionality are brought into the world.
