Frequently asked

What providers usually ask, before and after the demo.

If Aldor isn't the right fit, we'll tell you. If you're missing a question, write to us — we'll add it.

Question, keyword, or topic — e.g. "Contract", "GDPR", "API".

How you start with Aldor — and how you leave.

6
  • How long is the contract term?

    Choose a monthly or annual contract term. The framework agreement states cancellation deadlines and any renewal. You receive it before entering the contract. Cancel during the 30-day trial to prevent paid continuation.

  • What happens to my data if I cancel?

    You get a full data export as CSV plus a PDF archive of signed documents. We delete your data 30 days after contract end unless you say otherwise. Until then you can return without data loss.

  • Are prices net or gross?

    All prices are net, plus 19 % VAT. Example: Starter annual capacity for 80 active clients costs €996.00 net upfront. This equals €83.00 net or €98.77 gross per month: a €23.00 base including 30 clients, plus 50 × €1.20. Usage above the committed capacity costs extra.

  • Is onboarding charged extra?

    No. There's no setup fee and no implementation charge. Guided setup (master data, first helper invitation, first tour) is included in every tier; Pro adds an on-site session. You pay only the monthly plan price.

  • Is there a free trial?

    Yes. Try your selected plan's features free for 30 days. Provide a payment method during setup. The selected plan continues as a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial ends. Plan selection shows the price and first payment date.

  • Do I pay per employee or per user?

    Helpers, dispatchers and office staff have no per-user surcharge. The base fee includes 30 active clients. Additional active clients are charged at your plan's rate. Annual billing uses prepaid capacity and the agreed overage charges.

§ 45b, payers, invoices.

  • Does Aldor settle the Entlastungsbetrag under § 45b automatically — and can I see how much budget is left?

    Yes. Aldor keeps a budget account per client — the Entlastungsbetrag under § 45b, the Umwandlungsanspruch under § 45a and Pflegesachleistung under § 36 are tracked separately. For every service you see at once how much is left in each pot, and unused Entlastungsbetrag carries over into the next year correctly. You never book against an empty pot by accident.

  • What happens when a Pflegekasse cuts or rejects an invoice?

    Aldor models this cleanly. If a Pflegekasse pays only part or rejects a line, you record the shortfall; the invoice then shows as partially paid, the open remainder stays visible and moves into dunning or onto another payer. Corrections run through a Storno credit note, never by overwriting — the original invoice is preserved for audit.

  • A client has several payers — Pflegekasse, private share, Sozialamt. Can Aldor handle that?

    Yes — for Alltagshilfen that is the normal case, and Aldor is built for it. A service can be split across several pots and payers: Pflegekasse via the Abtretungserklärung, the private share to the client, Sozialamt or Verhinderungspflege kept separate. Each recipient gets their own, correctly numbered invoice.

  • Can I set up my own invoice and email templates?

    Yes. Invoice, email and export templates can be customised — you duplicate one of the supplied templates and change the text, salutation and fields. The system templates stay as a fallback, so you can't customise yourself into a corner.

Guided from day one.

  • How long does setup take before we can really get going?

    Often the same day. You create the account, invite your team and import your clients — a guided setup walks you through the rest step by step (master data, first helper, first tour). There is no weeks-long implementation phase and no mandatory appointment before you can start.

  • Do I get a fixed contact, or end up in a hotline?

    A real person. Aldor is built by three founders — you write or call us directly. From the Pro plan up, an on-site visit is part of the setup.

  • Do my records from the old software have to be entered by hand?

    No, not by hand. You give us your lists as they are — Excel, Word, an export from your old software, even messily formatted. Lotte reads the client data and creates it structured; you check the preview and confirm. If your onboarding takes longer than an hour, we handle the migration for you, free of charge in the first six months.

  • Is there training for my team?

    Most teams don't need one — Aldor is built so helpers and dispatchers find their way without training. If you want more: a built-in help centre with short guides, and from the Pro plan up we train your team on site. Either way, we answer questions directly.

Your data is yours.

  • Can I export data without cancelling?

    Any time. Clients, helpers, tours, proofs of service, invoices — as CSV, as PDF, as JSON via the API. Your data belongs to you, not us.

Where your data lives, who has access.

  • Where is my data hosted?

    The application and its backups are hosted by Hetzner in Germany. Individual features use additional service providers. See our providers and processing locations and data-processing agreement in the Trust Center.

  • Which data is encrypted?

    Client names, addresses, phone numbers, Pflegegrade, notes, signatures. Before they hit disk, with AES-256, per column.

  • Can I control who on the team sees which data?

    Yes. Roles, permissions and Standort assignments control the data and functions each team member can access. Each team member uses an individual account.

API, browsers, devices.

  • Which browsers are supported?

    Aldor runs in any modern browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge. We test against the last two major versions. Internet Explorer is not supported.

  • Do I need to install a phone app?

    No. Aldor runs in the phone browser, full functionality including offline storage. You can pin the icon to the home screen — looks like an app, is a website, no app-store approval required.

  • Does Aldor connect to my tax advisor?

    Yes. Aldor exports payroll and bookkeeping in the DATEV format your tax advisor already uses. A Lexware export is available too. If your tax advisor wants their own connection, Aldor has a documented interface they can plug into.

  • Does Aldor work offline, e.g. on the road without coverage?

    Yes, on the helper side. Tours, client data, services, and notes are loaded onto the device when the helper opens the app in the morning — after that everything keeps working without a network. Whatever gets entered on the road syncs automatically once coverage is back. In the office you need a connection; billing, Pflegekassen lists, and payroll export run server-side.

  • What if Aldor goes down? Is there an SLA?

    Yes. All plans include an SLA with 99 % availability per calendar month. The SLA and terms and conditions provide the details.

  • Does Aldor use AI? What is Lotte?

    Lotte is the assistant inside Aldor. It suggests — a reassignment when someone's sick, a message to relatives, an anomaly on a tour — but it never decides on its own. Every suggestion shows what it's based on and can be dismissed at any time. Nothing changes automatically; you always keep your hand on the wheel.

  • Can I use Aldor across multiple locations?

    Yes, unlimited on the Pro and Max plans. You run multiple sites with separate bookkeeping under one roof. On Starter you work with up to three locations; you can move up to a larger plan at any time.

  • How does Aldor help with scheduling conflicts?

    Aldor checks scheduling conflicts for helpers and vehicles. Notices help you identify overlapping bookings and adjust the schedule.

  • Do I need my own servers, an IT department or special hardware?

    No. Aldor runs in the browser — you need no server of your own, no IT department and no special hardware. A current computer or a smartphone with internet is enough. Operation, updates, backups and security run on our side, on German servers (Hetzner, Nuremberg).

Rather a real conversation?

Let's talk briefly.

Some questions are better answered in conversation — we'll take the time. You'll talk to one of the three founders, not to sales. Even if you don't buy in the end.
