Founded in 2021 by David Keuenhof and Gregor Pilz in Cologne, Ordio provides an app that offers several functions from digital personnel files and preparatory payroll accounting to time recording and absence management, as well as checklists for task management and shift planning, in which employees are involved in real time.

Ordio has been available in all sectors since August 2022 and is now used by more than 200 companies.
