What Eitje does

Eitje is a Dutch SaaS workforce management platform founded in 2015 and headquartered in Amsterdam (KvK 75561050), structured as a vennootschap onder firma (general partnership). The product unifies employee scheduling (roosters), time tracking (urenregistratie), time clock/clock-in-out (kloksysteem), team communication (communicatie), onboarding and training (inwerken), leave management (saldo), and labor-cost financial analysis (financiele analyse) into a single cloud-based platform accessible via web dashboard and native iOS/Android applications, including a dedicated floor tablet time clock ('EitjeOpDevloer'). The platform integrates with POS/cash register systems and HR software (notably NMBRS) and exposes a documented API via Postman. Pricing starts at €2.40 per user per month with no setup costs, free integrations, monthly cancellation, and a 28-day free trial that requires no payment details, supported by a hybrid product-led growth and sales-assisted motion including Calendly-based demos and phone/chat sales.

The company targets primarily Dutch-speaking small and medium businesses in hospitality (horeca) and adjacent verticals including retail, seasonal businesses, sports and recreation, and bakeries, claiming more than 2,500 customers. The competitive positioning emphasizes ease of use, transparent low pricing, free integrations, and sub-minute personal customer support during business hours. Distribution is primarily direct via the company's website and mobile app stores, with a regionally focused go-to-market in the Netherlands despite global app availability, and no external investors, parent company, or subsidiary relationships have been disclosed.
