Everything your growing team needs

Three problems every growing team knows, and what MetronHR makes of them.

ProblemExcel eats valuable hours every month

Your team gets lost in formulas, version conflicts and manual rounding. Project hours disappear, overtime goes unrecorded.

Project work, shifts or a practice, it fits either way

Employee administration, digital records and absences are used by everyone. On top of that you pick the way of working that matches your business.

Project work

For teams that book to projects and clients

Consulting, agency or IT: hours are recorded against projects and clients, budgets and hour packages run along automatically.

Time tracking per project, client and task
Project budgets and client hour packages in real time
Reports for billing and controlling
See time tracking and projects
Shift work

For businesses that work in shifts

Retail, hospitality, care or production: rotas are built by drag and drop, conflicts and rest periods are checked automatically.

Weekly rota by drag and drop, with shift patterns
Absences and rest periods checked automatically
Shift swaps and the rota in the mobile app
See shift planning
Practices and firms

For practices and firms with a fixed rhythm

Dental, veterinary, pharmacy, physiotherapy or tax practice: the day plan shows who takes which task when, with the duties that apply in that field.

EU data residency

Your data stays in Germany. Always.

Our servers stand exclusively in German data centres in Nuremberg and Falkenstein. Your data is subject to German and EU law, not to the US CLOUD Act or other foreign surveillance legislation.

Real data sovereignty

Unlike US cloud providers, we are not subject to the CLOUD Act or FISA 702. No US corporation can reach your data. How real that risk is was conceded by Microsoft France itself on 10 June 2025 before the inquiry committee of the French Senate: asked whether data of French citizens would never be handed to US authorities without consent, its legal director answered „Non, je ne peux pas le garantir“ (record of the Sénat). With us you keep real control over your HR data.

GDPR compliant by architecture

Not retrofitted, built for EU data protection from the start

No vendor lock-in

Export your data at any time, it belongs to you

Who is behind it

Built by AMNAU GmbH in Hanover

MetronHR is built and operated by AMNAU GmbH, a software company in Hanover (Kronenstraße 13, HRB 228100, Amtsgericht Hannover). Support, development and data processing sit in Germany.

MetronHR exists because we fought with Excel, email and US software as a growing team ourselves. We wanted a product that treats data protection as a right rather than a checkbox, and that understands German employment law.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about MetronHR, answered honestly

Pricing and billing

Yes. You can try MetronHR for 14 days completely free, without a credit card and without risk. You get full access to every Professional feature:

  • Time tracking and project management
  • Absence management with workflows
  • Mobile apps for iOS and Android

The hidden cost of spreadsheets and email is considerable. A typical team loses:

  • A lot of time spent recording hours by hand
  • Extra work managing holiday by email
  • A higher risk of payroll errors from typos
  • Compliance risk if the BAG ruling is not met

Absolutely. You have full flexibility:

  • Plan upgrades apply at once and are prorated
  • Downgrades from the next billing cycle
  • Monthly notice period (no minimum term)
  • Yearly payment: 17% off, still flexible to cancel

Worth knowing: No vendor lock-in

Every customer has a personal referral link in the dashboard. If a new company signs up through it and pays its first invoice, you both get 50% off the subscription for 3 months. On a yearly plan it is 25% off the first annual invoice.

  • Applies to every successful referral, with no cap
  • Discounts stack up when several referrals land
  • No form, no application: sharing the link is enough
