For refugee shelters, dormitories & social housing

Attendance control for shared accommodation. Resident check in 60 seconds.

Supervision duty, evacuation roll call, occupancy reports for funders — all on one GDPR-compliant platform. Pseudonymous IDs instead of cleartext names, servers in Germany, shelter cards for residents without smartphones.

problem

Paper rosters, cleartext names at reception, GDPR exposure.

Shelter managers juggle daily attendance lists, occupancy reports, and evacuation duty. Run all of that on paper or Excel and data protection plus supervision duty are at risk.
01 / GDPR
Cleartext name lists at reception
Occupancy lists with full names, residency status, and dates of birth at the reception desk or in the shift book — especially sensitive for refugee and social-care data.
02 / EVACUATION
Fire alarm — who is actually outside?
Without live attendance, shelter management cannot tell at the assembly point who stayed in the building. Supervision-duty risk in incidents — particularly for residents with language barriers.
03 / PROOF
Occupancy reporting from 5 Excel files
Funders and BAMF want monthly occupancy proofs. When sites maintain their own files, the report takes days and is error-prone.
Three accommodation segments · one platform

Refugee shelters, dormitories, social housing — covered.

Community accommodation differs in audience and obligations — the core stays the same: audit-grade attendance documentation and evacuation duty. One platform, three segment configurations.
Refugee & emergency shelters
Refugee shelters, homeless emergency accommodation, and reception centers — pseudonymized resident IDs, BAMF-grade occupancy reports, shelter cards for residents without smartphones, multilingual reception terminals.
Educational dormitories
Student dormitories, boarding schools, apprentice dormitories — attendance duty for minor boarding students, weekend home stays, BAföG/housing benefit proofs, and house-rules escalation to parents or guardians.
Social living arrangements
Child and youth welfare, senior shared apartments, supported housing, women's shelters — attendance tracking for checked-in and checked-out residents, shift handover for care staff, sensitive data pseudonymized.
A typical day at the shelter

From resident check-in to the assembly point.

Three building blocks that fit every shelter day: resident check-in at reception, live occupancy per building, and an evacuation roll call in under one minute at the assembly point.

Resident check-in via shelter card

Residents without smartphones scan their shelter card at the reception terminal. Shelter management sees live occupancy per building and floor. Works multilingually — symbol-based UI for language barriers.

Check-in and check-out per shift

Shift staff records resident arrivals, departures, doctor's appointments, and authority appointments. Shift handover sees all open items and anomalies — no paper handover book.

Fire alarm — live roll call

On a fire alarm, shelter management opens the resident list at the assembly point on a phone. Last-hour attendance is already loaded; missing residents are marked instantly. Full picture across all buildings live, in under one minute.

Residents without smartphones get a shelter card. Residents with smartphones can check in and out via QR or their own app. The reception terminal is multilingual (German, English, Ukrainian, French) and symbol-based to bridge language barriers.

— Operator voice
We run five refugee shelters across two districts. Before, we stitched occupancy proofs for the social welfare offices out of five Excel files — hours every time. Today the system exports an audit-grade occupancy proof per building and month at the press of a button. On the first real fire alarm, shelter management was complete in 47 seconds."

FAQ

Common questions from shelter managers and operators.

Questions raised in operator workshops, social welfare briefings, and shelter management onboardings. A short call answers it in 15 minutes.

Yes. Shelter cards (NFC) are the standard solution for residents without smartphones. Residents scan their card at the reception terminal or assembly-point tablet — no own app, no own phone number required. The card is issued at intake and returned at check-out.
