Münster-based clockin has closed a €10 million Series A funding round to accelerate its mission of bringing mobile teams into the digital age. The investment round was co-led by Amsterdam’s Newion and Düsseldorf’s NRW.Venture, with continued support from existing investors Scalehouse Capital and D11Z.Ventures.

The fresh capital will fuel software development and support the company’s scaled expansion across European small and medium-sized businesses. This funding represents a significant milestone for the German startup as it targets the largely underserved mobile workforce market.

Addressing Europe’s Overlooked Mobile Workforce

Around 80% of Europe’s workforce operates outside traditional office environments. These mobile teams in skilled trades, healthcare, and manufacturing industries still rely heavily on manual processes and paperwork. Clockin aims to change this reality by providing practical digital solutions that work seamlessly on smartphones.

“We need to bring all employees into the AI age – especially in small businesses. This opens up enormous potential for millions of companies.”

Strategic Investment in AI-Powered Efficiency

The new funding will primarily support the development of AI functionalities specifically designed for mobile teams. While artificial intelligence has become standard in office environments, it remains largely absent from construction sites, patient care facilities, and production floors.

Clockin’s platform addresses this gap by integrating AI into everyday workflows for mobile employees. The company plans to use these funds to strengthen mobile teams across Europe while maintaining its focus on user-friendly solutions. The investment will also support hiring efforts and market expansion beyond the company’s current stronghold in German-speaking countries.

From Münster Startup to European Platform

Founded in Münster in 2018, clockin emerged from conversations with medium-sized companies struggling with time-consuming administrative tasks. The founders recognized that mobile teams needed simple, smartphone-based solutions that could integrate seamlessly with existing business processes.

Since launch, the company has attracted customers from over 50 industries, ranging from traditional skilled trades to modern healthcare services. Today, more than 6,000 companies across Europe use clockin’s platform for time tracking, absence management, resource planning, and project documentation.

The platform has earned recognition through programs like German Accelerator and Scale-up.NRW, while receiving awards including the NRW Innovation Prize. These achievements highlight the company’s growth potential and product quality in the competitive business software market.

Investor Confidence in Mobile-First Solutions

The investment reflects growing confidence in solutions designed specifically for mobile workforces.

“The deskless workforce is a huge, previously neglected market. clockin has the potential to become the leading platform in Europe in this area.”

Mathijs de Wit, Managing Partner at Newion

Newion brings significant experience in B2B SaaS investments and a “controlled growth” approach that aligns with clockin’s expansion strategy. The firm’s focus on business software companies with proven product-market fit makes it an ideal partner for clockin’s next growth phase.

NRW.Venture, as the venture capital arm of NRW.BANK, provides additional strategic value through its focus on innovative North Rhine-Westphalia companies. The fund typically invests from second rounds onwards, supporting companies through multiple funding stages up to €15 million in equity capital.
