Features

Six modules that work together

All areas use a shared data base. So working hours, absences, shifts and reports stay consistent.

Compliance

Built for companies with high traceability requirements

lumen.hr helps teams document working hours, absences and changes in a structured way. Working-hours rules, permissions and change logs are embedded directly in HR processes — so decisions, corrections and approvals remain traceable.

  • Working-hours-act (ArbZG) guidance built into time entry
  • Traceable change logs with SHA-256 hash chain
  • Roles and permissions for HR, team leads and employees
  • Application and database on Hetzner servers in Germany

For HR and executives

For different roles. One shared view of HR processes.

HR leads need efficient workflows. Executives need transparency, reliable numbers and traceable processes. lumen.hr supports both.

  • For HR leads

    Month-end close in less time, a central interface for HR processes, traceable corrections with justification and approval, plus fewer spreadsheets and manual handovers.

  • For executives

    More transparency on working hours, absences and personnel cost. With clear reports, traceable approvals and better preparation for internal or external audits.

FAQ

Answers about lumen.hr

Still have questions? Get in touch. We usually reply within one business day.

  • Is lumen.hr really DATEV-compatible?
    Yes. We deliver DATEV-Lodas CSV in UTF-8 with BOM, ready for your payroll. In production since launch.
  • Where is my data stored?
    The Lumen application and database run on Hetzner servers in Germany, at the Nuremberg and Falkenstein locations. For notification emails we use Postmark in the EU region Dublin. More details in our privacy policy and the data processing agreement.
  • Does this work for shift operations with NFC terminals?
    Yes. Datafox terminals are natively supported — with a secure server connection.
  • How long does onboarding take?
    Guided setup in seven steps, no separate customization project required.
  • What happens if working-hours-act limits are exceeded?
    The traffic light already flags possible issues at clock-in — for example regarding working time, breaks or rest periods. Critical situations become visible early and can be reviewed before they only surface at month-end close.
  • Is it suitable for small teams?
    Yes. The Starter plan suits smaller teams and can be used via the web clock-in without additional hardware.
  • How do I migrate from my existing solution?
    Migration depends on the existing system and the data available. We jointly review which data can be migrated and how to prepare the transition sensibly.
