Features

Each module replaces a file someone keeps up to date by hand.

Switch on the modules you need. The rules — leave accrual, approval workflows, expense limits — are those of your company and your collective agreement.

Employee records

Contract, job, team, manager, emergency contacts and history. Employees update their own personal details.

Leave and absences

Requests, one- or two-level approval, paid leave and RTT balances calculated automatically, and a team calendar to avoid overlapping absences.

Remote work

Planned remote-work days, weekly or monthly quotas, and a view of who's on site each day.

Working time

Clock-in on mobile or a terminal, timesheets, overtime and flexible-hours counters.

Expense claims

Photo of the receipt, category, approval, then accounting export. Limits are checked as claims are entered.

Training and certifications

Training plan, sessions, certificates and expiry dates. An alert before a forklift licence (CACES) or electrical certification expires.

Reviews

Annual and career reviews using your own templates, reminders to managers and objective tracking.

HR documents

Payslips, certificates and contract amendments uploaded in bulk and delivered to each employee's personal space.

Payroll export

A monthly export of payroll variables — absences, hours, bonuses, expenses — in the format your payroll software or accountant expects.

In practice

A leave request, from phone to payroll.

Here's what happens when an employee books a week off. Nobody re-types anything.

  1. Monday, 7:50 amJulie, a workshop supervisor, opens the app before her shift and requests five days' paid leave. She sees her remaining balance before sending.
  2. Monday, 9:15 amHer manager gets a notification. The calendar shows nobody else on the team is off that week. He approves.
  3. Monday, 9:16 amJulie is notified. Her balance is updated, and the absence appears on the team calendar and in her diary.
  4. The 25th of the monthThe month's absences go into the payroll variables export, checked by HR at a glance.

// Demo and quote

See BarkelTech RH with your own cases.

The demo takes 30 minutes, using examples close to your business. The quote depends on the number of users and the modules you choose, and we send it to you after our conversation.

Every employee can reach their HR, even without a computer.

Operators, field technicians, shop staff: the app gives them access to their requests, their documents and their schedule.

    Leave, remote work, unplanned absence, expense claim.

  • Approval for managers

    A notification, a team calendar, one button.

  • Personal documents

  • Time clock

    Clock in and out from the phone, with or without location.

// Frequently asked questions

Does BarkelTech RH run payroll?
No, and that's deliberate. BarkelTech RH prepares the payroll variables and sends them to your payroll software or accountant. You keep your current payroll tool.
Our leave rules are unusual. Is that a problem?
Rarely. Accrual rules, split leave, seniority days and the specific leave in your collective agreement are all configurable. We check it together during the demo.
Do employees need a work email address?
No. An employee can sign in with their phone number or a personal address. That's often the case on the shop floor or in stores.
Who can access employee data?
Each role has its own permissions: employees see their own record, managers see their team, HR sees everything. Every time a record is viewed, it's logged.
