Centralizes HR Admin with Intuitive Self-Service

The employee self-service portal is hands down the biggest time saver for our team. Our client manufacturing staff can log in independently to book annual leave, submit sick notes and upload updated employment paperwork without sending dozens of repetitive emails to our HR inbox every day. I also rely heavily on the immutable timestamped activity logs the platform generates; every single time an employee file is opened, edited or downloaded is recorded automatically. These logs serve as foundational proof we submit during routine DSGVO personnel data audits for our Stuttgart-based manufacturing clients, eliminating the need for us to manually track who accessed sensitive staff records.

Streamlined HR Processes with Room for Improvement in Compliance

As an HR systems consultant supporting German SMEs, the self-service portal is Breathe’s biggest strength. Employees independently handle holiday requests, update personal details and pull their own digital personnel files, slashing repetitive routine tickets for client HR teams. The unified document archive logs every view and edit action automatically, producing clear audit trails that hold up during DSGVO inspections. Its raw CSV outputs are neatly structured too, which trims down data cleaning time ahead of payroll handovers to accountants using DATEV.
