We started as three self-employed developers with two projects and Toggl. Capacity planning was a hallway conversation, and it worked fine.
Then we became five, seven, ten — with fifteen projects running at once. Suddenly we had to track holiday balances, public holidays and statutory leave across every country we work in, real time accounts. We were firefighting, planning by gut, with no idea how much runway was left for our own products.
No tool on the market did all of it. So we built onda — first for absences, then capacity, then cash-flow, then tasks. Today the whole team opens it every morning. And they love it.
Toggl, spreadsheets and Notion each held a piece of the truth. onda holds all of it — and connects the pieces.
onda pulls absences, capacity, cash-flow and tasks into one place — so you can run a dozen projects without running on gut feeling.
Employees request time off in a click. onda keeps vacation days, the time account, public holidays and statutory leave across Europe correct — automatically. Managers approve in one tap and always see the real balance.
Give every project an hourly budget and assign people to it. See instantly whether you actually have the hours to deliver what you promised — and who is over- or under-booked, before it hurts.
onda combines salaries, freelancer and partner rates, overhead and your agreed client rates into a live cash-flow forecast. See true hourly cost per employee, profit per project, and how much runway is left for your own products.
A task system modelled on the tools you already like — assign work, add collaborators, write details, attach files, get notified. Forward any email to tasks@emergo.dev and it becomes a task, owner and all.
Today onda syncs hours straight from Toggl — that's how we run it ourselves. Prefer everything in one tool? We can switch on onda's own built-in time tracking. Same plans, same balances, same forecasts.
Dev shops, design and product studios delivering client work by the hour across a dozen projects.
Any team billing time across many engagements that needs utilisation and margin in one view.
Owners who carry the P&L and need cost, profit and runway clear enough to plan with confidence.
We're onboarding a small group of agencies first — at founder pricing, tailored to your team.
No. onda syncs with Toggl today — that's how we run it ourselves — and we can switch on onda's own built-in time tracking if you'd rather keep everything in one place.
No — onda works Europe-wide. It handles public holidays and statutory leave country by country (Austria's Papamonat, Germany's Elternzeit, and the rest). Tell us where your team sits and we'll set it up.
Not yet. We onboard every team personally so the import of your projects, people and rates is done right. Request access and we'll be in touch quickly.
Agencies, studios and consultancies — any team that sells time, runs several projects at once, and needs capacity and cash-flow in one clear view.
Hosted in the EU. Your financial and people data stays yours — we don't sell or share it.
English and German out of the box. Want another language? Easy in the age of AI — get in touch and we'll discuss it.
We're emergo.dev, a software studio in Austria. We began as three self-employed developers with two projects, and capacity planning was a hallway conversation. As we grew to ten people and fifteen concurrent projects, that broke down: holiday balances, public holidays across countries, statutory leave, real time accounts — and no clear view of how much runway was left for our own products. We were firefighting and planning on gut feeling. No single tool covered absences, capacity, cash-flow and tasks, so we built one. onda started with absence management, then capacity planning, then a financial forecast, then a task system modelled on the tools we already liked. Today the whole team opens it every morning — and they love it.
We set it up with you. We import your projects, people and rates, connect Toggl, and walk your team through it. There's no self-service yet — every team gets a hands-on start so the numbers are right from day one.
That's the idea. Capacity, budgets, cash-flow and tasks live in one place, so the spreadsheet-and-Notion patchwork — and the gaps between the tools — goes away.
We're a 10-person software studio in Austria. We build digital products for our clients — and we kept hitting the same wall running the place ourselves.
onda is what we built to fix it. It became how we plan, staff and pay for everything we do. Other teams will recognise the problem — so we're opening it up.
Tell us about your team and we'll set onda up on your projects — then walk you through it.
