What It Is

codeto is a Swiss SaaS platform focused on Einsatzplanung (job/site scheduling), resource and capacity planning, time reporting, and approvals for electrical, building technology, and construction-related companies. The product is modular: codeto plan handles scheduling and capacity planning, codeto report covers time tracking and reporting, while codeto one is planned as an integrated version of the two.

Core Features and Integrations

codeto plan is designed to bring employees, projects, equipment, absences, and capacity into a single view. It supports daily/weekly/monthly planning, filtering by team or department, placeholder resources, workload visualization, and warnings or prevention for double bookings. The mobile app lets field staff view locations, teammates, tools, and notes; they can also create new tasks and receive change notifications. codeto report supports recording work by project, travel time, expenses, allowances, and absences, with supervisor approval workflows. For integrations, the platform can connect to existing ERP systems, supports import/export, and explicitly offers a Volta interface for syncing employee, project, and order data.

Pricing, Trial, and Deployment

The public pages do not list specific prices, only stating that billing is based on the number of active users. Monthly billing is prepaid quarterly, while annual billing is prepaid yearly; subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, with cancellation taking effect at the end of the quarter. A 30-day free trial is available with no credit card required, and users can either test it themselves or book an approximately 30-minute video demo. Based on the available text, deployment appears to be cloud SaaS, with accompanying web and mobile apps. All data is hosted in Switzerland and subject to Swiss data protection regulations.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a very clear industry focus and a good fit for replacing Excel-based scheduling. Real-time updates, mobile access, and workload views can significantly reduce phone calls, emails, and WhatsApp coordination. Multi-site support also makes it suitable for mid-sized contracting companies. The downsides are non-transparent pricing and limited public details on permissions, APIs, and security certifications. There is also an apparent contradiction around offline capability: one section says working time can be recorded on a phone without internet, while the FAQ says both the web and mobile apps cannot be used offline. This should be confirmed before purchase.

Best Fit and Access from China

codeto is best suited to electrical, building technology, and building services companies in Switzerland or the German-speaking region, especially teams of 4 to several hundred people that need to dispatch field staff across projects. Information on access from China, payment methods, and local compliance is unknown. If used in mainland China, buyers should carefully verify network connectivity, time zone/language support, payment options, and integration with local ERP systems. Domestic alternatives may include DingTalk/Yida, the WeCom ecosystem, Weaver, Mingdao Cloud, or Huoban Cloud.
