Servers in Germany · GDPR compliant

Your office in one window.

Mail, chat, calendar, tasks, documents, time tracking and invoicing in one app. For companies that are tired of Outlook, WhatsApp groups, Excel lists and separate invoicing software.

No payment details. From €12 per person per month.

All included

Everything for the office, one login

Kovo replaces the patchwork most small companies work with. Everything is connected and looks the same.

Mail

All your mailboxes in one inbox

Kovo fetches your email from your current provider. No moving, no new address, and Outlook can keep running while you try it.

  • Shared mailboxes like info@ with permissions per person
  • Personal mailboxes that no admin can see
  • Turn an email into a task or a receipt

Who it’s for

For small companies and the self-employed

Three examples of what Kovo looks like day to day.

Planning and architecture firms

Every building project is a project with tasks, plans and events. Emails from the building authority land in the project, and the hours go on the invoice at the end of the month.

  • Bill project hours
  • Edit plans and Word files together
  • Events with clients by email invitation

Trade businesses

Not everyone on the building site has a work email. With an access letter, employees are in right away, clock in on their phone and snap receipts straight into the books.

  • Access letter with a QR code instead of an email address
  • Time clock, vacation and sick days
  • Hand in receipts with a photo

Agencies and freelancers

Customers join single projects and chats as free guests. If you work for several companies, you see everything in one view and keep your personal mailbox to yourself.

  • Guests for free
  • Several companies with one account
  • Personal mailboxes that no admin can see
Several companies

All companies in one view

If you work for several companies, you see emails, chats, events and tasks from all of them in one place, with a small marker for each company. The time clock only ever runs once, whichever company you’re in.

  • One account for all companies
  • Guests like customers or freelancers are free
  • Roles and permissions per company
  • Personal things like your own mailboxes, “Private” and “My files” exist just once, across all companies

Why Kovo

Your mailbox stays

Working hours under German law

Time clock, automatic breaks and target hours. Your legal duty to record working hours is covered.

Two-factor and roles
