How KAWENTSMANN builds trust in the team with clockin
Time tracking at KAWENTSMANN used to mean paperwork chaos and uncertainty. Today clockin brings clarity – and everyone on the team knows: my work counts.
“Our work can't simply be measured in rigid minutes, because what counts with us is what comes out of that time: real craftsmanship, substance and quality. clockin helps us use our time efficiently and keep track of things without breaking the flow.”
Max is the founder, owner and managing director of KAWENTSMANN. For him, teamwork and trust come first. Growth brought new demands with it. Introducing clockin is a milestone for him.
This is KAWENTSMANN
KAWENTSMANN stands for real craftsmanship from the Münsterland region. Founded in 2016, the family-run furniture workshop creates unique home accessories, furniture designs and complete concepts of exceptional quality and individual character that are making waves across Germany – and beyond.
KAWENTSMANN relies on the quality and durability of its raw materials and combines traditional craftsmanship with a modern character. In the wood workshop and metalworking shop they create and build custom furniture and fitted units for the whole B2C market. KAWENTSMANN also supports and delivers a wide range of B2B projects – from hospitality and office design through to store design.
“clockin saves me time, of course. All those notes are gone. I've got everything really clearly laid out in the app: overtime, vacation requests and so on.”
Firmly part of the working day
At KAWENTSMANN, clockin is part of everyone's day – whether in the office, out on installation work or in the workshop.
- Start the working day: with one click in the clockin app
- Record breaks: documented simply and transparently
- End of shift: all hours recorded, with full transparency over the hours worked
“Doing time tracking on paper with a pen just isn't up to date any more. Since we brought in clockin, the whole subject of hours tracking has calmed down. That creates a lot of trust in the team, because everyone knows: the work you put in gets recorded.”
From young to experienced: everyone uses clockin
Variety and teamwork shape the work of the furniture workshop from the Münsterland region. To make sure everyone really keeps up, tech-savvy or not, KAWENTSMANN relies on clockin: a solution that everyone understands and is happy to use.
After 16 seconds I knew how it works. We've also got an older colleague who is 75. It took him two minutes to find his way around.”
The new flexibility builds trust
In day-to-day work everyone has different needs: some take smoking breaks, others have to drop their children off at daycare in the morning. That can quickly lead to friction. With clockin it is clear to everyone: hours are recorded fairly.
“It is simply a good feeling to know that I can give my employees the flexibility to, say, take their children to daycare in the morning – because it matters to me that they also work as fathers, mothers or family people.”
Vacation requests in a single click
Vacation requests used to mean paperwork chaos and a lot of back and forth. At KAWENTSMANN it now takes a few clicks – straight from the clockin app.
- Request vacation: directly and easily in the app
- Approve: done in the office in a few clicks
- Keep an overview: always know from the office who is away and when
“If I want to put in a vacation request, it is a matter of minutes. I just pass on what I'd like and then I see what gets approved and what doesn't.”
Everything under control in the office
In the office, everything comes together at Leonie's desk. From the clockin Office Center she always has an overview of all employees. At the end of the month she has all the data complete and to hand, so the tax advisors have clarity straight away.
It used to be a hassle to trace the hours – especially for installation work. Today, with clockin, everything is documented in black and white.”
