From schedule to payroll basis — one connected flow

1. Plan

Build recurring work plans per location — weekly, biweekly, monthly or quarterly — and instantly see every unfilled shift.

2. Execute

Workers get their day in the mobile app in their own language: GPS-verified clock-in, checklists, photos and notes. Works offline.

3. Prove

The customer scans the on-site QR code and sees live what was done, when and by whom — with photos and a feedback button.

4. Pay

Hours flow into one approval queue, absence lands in the right column, and the payroll basis exports ready for your accountant.

Your customer never has to call and ask "was the cleaner here today?"

Every location gets its own QR code. The customer scans it and sees a live, branded page proving the delivery — no login needed.

  • Last and next visit with the actual completion time
  • Completion rate — a color-coded ring of completed visits
  • Checklists with checkmarks, photos and notes per visit
  • Anonymous feedback — a thumbs-down instantly notifies the operations manager
  • Ready-made A5 QR signs, generated as branded PDFs in one click

The customer needs no login, no app and no account — just a camera. Win tenders with documented delivery.

Sick call at six in the morning? Covered by seven.

The worker reports sick in the app. You instantly see every affected shift, get substitute suggestions ranked by experience at that exact job — and when the absence ends, everything is handed back automatically.

  • Self-certified sick leave, doctor-certified leave, sick child, vacation and leave — classified correctly from the start
  • Substitute suggestions that never propose someone absent or double-booked
  • Automatic hand-back when the original worker returns
  • Planned hours are preserved — the sick-pay basis stays correct

Payroll basis: from days of spreadsheet work to one click

Approve hours in one queue, see absence split into the right columns, and export a finished per-employee workbook — with night, Saturday, Sunday and holiday hours separated so payroll can apply the right supplements.

  • Approval queue with undo, bulk approval and a read-only audit log
  • "Missing entry" detection — no shift slips through unnoticed
  • Excel workbook with a summary sheet and one sheet per employee. CSV too.
  • Lock the period when done — nothing changes afterwards

Effiora is not a payroll system — it hands payroll exactly the basis it needs.

Frequently asked questions

What is Effiora?

Effiora is a Norwegian-built operations system for companies that deliver fixed, recurring work at fixed locations — cleaning companies, facility-service and caretaker companies, and building operations. It covers scheduling, GPS-verified time tracking, QR-code proof of completed work for the customer, absence and substitute management, and payroll-basis export to Excel. Management works in the web app; every employee has the mobile app in their own language.

Who is Effiora for?

Companies from two to several hundred employees doing the same work at the same places over and over. In practice that means cleaning companies and facility-service firms, but also window cleaning, stairwell cleaning, grounds maintenance and canteen operations — anything made up of recurring visits with recurring tasks.

What does Effiora cost?

Until 1 January 2027 a launch price applies, from 690 NOK per month excluding VAT. The price is set by how many employees you have, not by which features you use: 690 NOK for 2–9 employees, 1,490 for 10–24 and from 2,490 for 25 and up. The ordinary price from 2027 is 990 NOK, 2,290 NOK and from 3,990 NOK. Every feature is included in every plan, with no setup fee and no lock-in.

What makes Effiora different from an ordinary scheduling app?

Two things. A shift belongs to a location and carries the checklist and tasks that apply there — you set it up once and it repeats. And every location gets a public QR page where the customer sees what was done, with checklists and photos, without logging in. No other system in Norway gives the customer that visibility.

Is Effiora a payroll system, an FDV system or an invoicing system?

None of them. Effiora plans the work, documents that it was done, and produces the payroll basis your accountant uses. Payroll runs in your payroll system, FDV documentation of the building itself belongs in an FDV system, and invoicing your customers stays where you do it today.
