While Silicon Valley chases AI hype, a German startup is quietly solving the unsexy but massive problem of shift planning. Ordio isn't just another calendar app—it's a full-stack workforce OS designed for the specific chaos of hourly workers.

"They're not competing with Calendly—they're building the operating system for Germany's hourly workforce."

The tech stack tells a story of pragmatic modernization. Using Tailwind CSS, PWA capabilities, and Swiper for mobile-first experiences, they've built a platform that works on any device—a necessity for frontline workers who live on their phones. The absence of traditional funding rounds suggests they're bootstrapped or revenue-funded, giving them control over their roadmap.

• German-specific compliance handling (vacation laws, shift regulations)
• Multi-tenant architecture serving retail chains and healthcare facilities
• Mobile-first PWA that works offline for warehouse and field workers
• Integrated payroll connections reducing manual data entry
• Task management layered into shift planning
