What exactly is payroll software?
Payroll software forms the basis for accurate payroll processing. It gathers all relevant data in one place, makes calculations transparent, and replaces error-prone Excel solutions. This way, you maintain an overview even with inquiries or audits.
cleverlohn goes beyond traditional software: Our platform guides you securely through the process, automatically checks entries, and provides a trial payroll run for verification. And because technology alone doesn't solve everything, personal payroll accountants are always there to assist you.
Benefits of a Payroll Software
Everything in one place!
If you've been processing payroll manually or using a solution that manages rather than supports, you're familiar with the typical pitfalls: duplicated effort, lack of transparency, and uncertainty with special cases. Modern payroll software takes precisely this pressure out of the process.
With cleverlohn, you work in a central platform where all data converges. Changes take effect immediately, absences are recorded, and automatic checks highlight anomalies early on. This saves time, provides security, and ensures structured processes.
cleverlohn combines software and personal service so that you don't have to do everything yourself or lose track.
Benefits for your company:
- Time Savings: Up to 80% less effort through automation and integrations.
- Cost Savings: No printing, postage, or storage costs, and avoidance of fines.
- Mobile Access: Employees download statements themselves via app or portal.
- Security: GDPR-compliant and GoBD-compliant payroll.
- Sustainability: less paper = environmentally friendly.
- Scalability: From 1 to 250 employees. cleverlohn grows with you.
Key Features modern payroll software
Payroll software is about more than just calculations. It's crucial that data is meticulously maintained, changes are recorded transparently, and payrolls are securely generated. That's exactly what cleverlohn is designed for.
You work with central master data, add monthly changes, and automatic checks alert you to discrepancies early on. Before the final payroll, you can transparently review everything with a trial run, completely without surprises. All documents are automatically stored in a structured manner and are accessible at any time.
cleverlohn works completely online, without installation or updates. The result is not complicated software, but a clear process with personal service, so you can keep track without getting lost in details.
Payroll Software in comparison
Anyone dealing with payroll often faces a choice: pure software or pure service. Both have advantages and clear limitations. Software works well for straightforward cases, but leaves you unsupported when complex issues arise. Traditional payroll offices take work off your hands, but usually offer little transparency and few digital processes.
cleverlohn combines both. You work digitally and efficiently, while experienced payroll accountants handle and secure your payroll. No email chaos, no uncertainty! Instead, clear processes and personal service. For many SMEs, this is exactly the mix that grows with them and reliably provides relief.
Here's the Payroll App
The central hub of your payroll management

Die Idee von cleverlohn war für uns ausschlaggebend – jung, dynamisch und digital. Dieser Ansatz hat uns überzeugt, weil wir immer nach einer sauberen, digitalen Lösung gesucht haben. Wir sind happy mit der Entscheidung, das extern zu machen.

Die alte Lohnbuchhaltung war unglaublich intransparent und hat uns viel Zeit gekostet. Bei cleverlohn haben wir jetzt eine acht- bis zehnfache Zeitersparnis und deutlich weniger Aufwand.
