LUNA App: The smart solution for mobile workflows and insightful reports

Those who want to make personnel and business processes more transparent and flexible often find that mobile use is the decisive lever—and this is exactly where the new LUNA app comes in.
The app really comes into its own in workflow management: recording working hours, checking incoming invoices, processing internal requests, and issuing approvals—all of this can be done with just a few clicks directly on your smartphone. With the LUNA app, your documents are always accessible and custom reports on your company’s key figures can be generated. Push notifications ensure that new tasks are immediately visible and nothing gets left behind.

In HR, we offer the LUNA app as a mobile addition to our proven moonsoft HR suite, bringing essential HR processes directly to smartphones.
From time tracking and travel management to access to calendars and personal documents, LUNA supports employees with numerous self-service functionalities and makes HR processes even more efficient, regardless of location or internet connection.

Managers save time thanks to mobile approval workflows including push notifications and receive customized reports at any time, just at the touch of a button.

Timesheet tracking and absence management

Work time tracking – even offline

Checking in and out of work can be done with a simple click, even if there is no Wi-Fi or mobile network available. The app records times in offline mode and automatically synchronizes as soon as a connection is reestablished. This means that no minutes need to be added manually.

Requesting and approving absences
Employees request absences directly in the app—whether for vacation, time off in lieu, administrative procedures, or sick leave. Relevant documents, such as doctor’s notes, can be provided directly via the document upload function in the request form. LUNA not only makes it easy to submit requests, but also to approve them. Managers receive all bookings as an approval workflow on their smartphone and approve them with a single click.

Digital personnel file – documents always at hand

Employees can use the app to access their digital personnel files and view and download documents—conveniently while on the go. Managers also have access to relevant documents and approval workflows. Role-based access rights ensure that sensitive personnel data remain protected.

Travel management made simple, fast, and digital

Travel is part of everyday life in many companies – with the LUNA app, travel requests and expense reports can be handled entirely on the go. The app offers impressive travel management features such as digital receipt scanning, GPS-based route tracking, and mileage recognition, which allows mileage to be transferred directly to the app via photos.

LUNA will soon be available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
We are happy to consult you on all possible use cases for our new HR app.

When choosing your HR software, are you faced with the decision between a pure cloud solution or a local installation in the company?

In fact, choosing the right HR software today is more than just a question of functionalities. It affects business processes, data security, legal requirements and, increasingly, the strategic direction of a company. While cloud solutions are considered the gold standard in many areas and software providers are increasingly focusing on “cloud-only” strategies, on-premises systems are experiencing a surprising renaissance – especially in the sensitive HR environment.

Why are many companies consciously deciding against the cloud trend and opting for local HR software solutions? Find out the strategic and practical reasons for a local solution like moonsoft’s and why an on-premises strategy might be the right choice for your company.

moonsoft HR Solutions offers its comprehensive HR suite as a fully-featured on-premises solution that is tailored to the needs of Austrian companies, particularly in the payroll area.

If our customers want to move to the cloud at some point – no problem! A hybrid approach with hosting in the company and complete service by moonsoft is also possible.

Why on-premises solutions for HR systems?

Control & data sovereignty as top priorities

The increasing awareness of data protection and data security has a direct impact on IT strategies in companies. A data leak or data breach may not only lead to legal consequences, it may also result in a massive loss of trust among employees.
With moonsoft’s on-premises solution, companies retain complete control over their data and ensure that sensitive employee data is not processed or stored outside their own infrastructure. This enables our customers to meet the highest compliance requirements, especially in regulated industries or the public sector.

Reliability and strategic independence

Cloud-based systems are dependent on the availability and security of external service providers. A downtime or security breach on the provider’s side can have a direct impact on business operations.
With a local solution such as moonsoft HR Solutions, companies minimize such risks and are not dependent on third-party infrastructure. This can be crucial for critical areas such as payroll accounting. With an in-house strategy, companies also retain control over their IT decisions and are not dependent on their provider’s roadmap.

Adaptability and integration

On-premises systems offer greater flexibility when it comes to adapting to specific company processes and requirements. Especially in payroll accounting, legal regulations and operational peculiarities must go hand in hand.
moonsoft’s solutions adapt individually to the requirements of our customers. Customized workflows, special payroll rules or industry-specific features – we focus on the needs of our customers.

Conclusion

For companies with the highest requirements in terms of data protection, control and operational security, the on premise HR suite from moonsoft HR Solutions offers a future-proof and reliable solution. With local data storage, full control over all processes and the ability to customize to company requirements, our in-house version is an ideal alternative to cloud-only systems.

Our team will be happy to support you with an individual consultation or a free, zero-obligation product demo.

We are celebrating our anniversary! It has been 10 years since moonsoft HR Solutions GmbH was founded by Matthias Mann and Maria Zeitlberger.

As long-time colleagues at an HR software provider, the two decided to found their own company in 2015. A logical step to realize their extensive experience in development and consulting in their own software. With Ramsauer & Stürmer Software GmbH (now Aptean Austria GmbH), they found renowned support for their project.

Since then, the company and its founders have pursued a clear goal: to develop
HR solutions that best meet the needs of our customers and support them with powerful functions that make day-to-day HR work fun. The result is one of the most modern HR solutions on the Austrian market: simple, intuitive, completely flexible and available on mobile devices.

The official anniversary celebration is still to come, but we have already received the award for 10 years of entrepreneurship in the IT sector from the Vienna Chamber of Commerce.

A big thank you to our customers, partners and employees for their valuable cooperation and support during this time!

With this strong foundation, we look forward to the next 10 years!

As part of our first software release 2025 (versions 5.2.1. SP18 | 5.1.1. SP21 | 5.3.0.6), we have once again fine-tuned numerous functionalities.

Among other things, reporting and the dynamic watch list were enhanced with additional functionalities and the control option for recording time data and travel expense reconciliation were further developed.

Our focus in this release was on the implementation of the interface to BUAK (Bauarbeiter Urlaubs- und Abfertigungskasse). It now allows the direct processing of various reports, such as vacation, bad weather and resignation reports. Surcharge calculation and the import of feedback files for vacations have also been implemented in the release.

We provide our customers with detailed information on the individual functionalities and all the new features included in the release in our release notes.
