The first complete deskless people platform
Our mission started 15 years ago with Sushi Ninja. David built software tools for his team—and Ordio was born. Today our team builds the deskless super app for 80% of workers worldwide who do not sit at a desk—that is 2.7 billion people.
Employee-first technology
For us, employees come first—not only on our own team, but for our customers too.

What is Ordio?
Ordio is a software platform for businesses with shift-based planning and rostering: rotas, employee scheduling, absence management and more HR workflows in one place—with a focus on teams that do not work at a classic desk. The product is developed by Ordio GmbH in Germany. For features and packaging, see features and pricing.
What is Ordio’s mission?
We want to build the “deskless super app” for people who work on site, in shifts and in the field—with a clear focus on employee-first technology: good planning and fair processes should reach frontline staff first. The story of how we started and where we are heading is summarized in the upper section of this page.
How did Ordio come about?
The story begins with Sushi Ninja: co-founder David built internal tools there to organize shifts and teams in daily operations. That sparked the idea for Ordio—today a dedicated product and team advancing digital tools for modern shift work. Practical experience from shift operations remains part of our DNA.
Who is Ordio for?
Ordio is aimed at companies that plan shifts or deployments—from small teams to larger organisations. We serve many industries in parallel; a starting point by industry is our industries overview (German site). Where your people work on site, in rotating shifts or on the go, the product should stay practical and mobile-first—not only for office space.
Where is Ordio based?
Ordio is rooted in Cologne, Germany; a substantial part of the team works here. Address, register details and representation of Ordio GmbH are consolidated in our legal notice (Impressum)—the binding source for formal contact details.
How does Ordio differ from classic office HR software?
Many HR tools optimize first for knowledge work at a desk. Ordio focuses on shift reality: planning and communication for on-site teams, reliable time and absence workflows on the phone. That is why we talk about a “deskless people platform”. To go deeper on rostering, see employee scheduling with Ordio.
