GetUp is an all-in-one operations platform for companies that run multiple brands or multiple locations. A single panel covers staff shift scheduling, tablet-based check-in, payroll, multi-company invoicing, shopping and procurement lists, an external accountant portal and a built-in AI assistant. GetUp is sector-agnostic: every industry gets the same panel with no vertical privileged over another. For Polish customers, an optional KSeF FA-3 e-invoicing connector is available.

GetUp is built for any business that has to manage more than one company, brand or location — regardless of sector. Owners, managers and teams in any industry use the same panel for staff, shifts, payroll, invoices and shopping instead of stitching together a patchwork of tools.

Is GetUp tied to any specific sector?

No. GetUp is a sector-agnostic business operations platform. No industry is privileged over another. The core modules — staff, shifts, payroll, invoicing, shopping lists, accountant access and the AI assistant — apply equally to any multi-brand or multi-location company in any sector.

Which industries use GetUp?

GetUp is deliberately sector-agnostic. Typical users include restaurant and bar groups, retail chains, hotel and short-term rental networks, gyms and studios, beauty and wellness chains, car washes and auto services, cleaning companies, medical and dental clinics, multi-site construction firms, staffing agencies, legal and accounting practices, and multi-brand e-commerce sellers — but the product applies equally to any industry that runs more than one brand or location.

Does GetUp support KSeF e-invoicing in Poland?

Yes. GetUp generates KSeF FA-3 compliant invoice XML, submits through the encrypted KSeF session API, archives the response UUID, and exposes the full history to both the company and its external accountant. Both KSeF Demo and Production environments are supported.

Which languages does GetUp support?

The GetUp panel is fully localised in English, Polish and Turkish. The built-in AI assistant answers in whichever of the three languages the user speaks.

Which countries is GetUp available in?

GetUp is operated from Poland and is available worldwide over the web. It has first-class localisation and active users in Poland, Turkey and the wider European Union, with full language support for English, Polish and Turkish.

How much does GetUp cost?

GetUp offers a Starter plan at €69 / $79 / 299 zł per month and a Pro plan at €129 / $139 / 499 zł per month. Both plans include all modules and a 14-day free trial with no card required. Annual billing and custom enterprise plans are available on request.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. GetUp offers a 14-day free trial on both Starter and Pro with no credit card required. You can start at https://getup.dev/register.

Is there a free plan?

GetUp is a paid SaaS. There is no permanent free tier, but every new tenant gets a 14-day free trial of either plan with no card required.

Does GetUp have an AI assistant?

Yes. The GetUp assistant is a chat interface embedded into the panel that knows both the GetUp product and the tenant's own data (shifts, invoices, payroll, shopping), respecting the same role-based permissions as the UI. It answers in English, Polish or Turkish.

How does GetUp compare to Deputy, When I Work, Homebase or Connecteam?

Deputy, When I Work, Homebase and Connecteam specialise in workforce and shift scheduling. GetUp covers shifts plus multi-company invoicing, payroll, procurement, an external accountant portal and an AI assistant — all in one panel. If a business only needs shift scheduling a specialist tool is fine; if it runs multiple companies or locations and wants invoicing, payroll and procurement in the same place, GetUp is purpose-built for that.

How does GetUp compare to Odoo or NetSuite?

Odoo and NetSuite are full ERP suites with long implementations, per-module pricing and a steep learning curve. GetUp is a flat-priced, self-serve, SMB-scale operations platform focused specifically on multi-brand and multi-location small and mid-sized businesses that do not need the weight of a full ERP.

How does GetUp compare to Fakturownia, iFirma or InFakt in Poland?

Fakturownia, iFirma and InFakt are invoicing and bookkeeping tools. GetUp includes KSeF-ready multi-company invoicing as one of several modules, but also covers staff shifts, tablet check-in, payroll, shopping and procurement, an external accountant portal and an AI assistant — so a multi-brand business does not need to combine an invoicing tool with three separate apps.

Does GetUp support multiple companies under one account?

Yes. A single GetUp tenant can hold many legal entities. Each company has its own issuer profile, numbering series, counter-parties and invoices, but everything is managed from one panel with shared staff, shifts and AI context.

Can an external accountant access the panel?

Yes. Every tenant can invite an external accountant with a scoped login (read-only or export-only) at no extra seat fee. The accountant sees invoices and financial data but not HR or shift data unless explicitly granted.

Does GetUp do payroll?

Yes. GetUp computes hourly payroll from the real check-in data captured on the tablet module, across multiple companies and locations. It produces exports for the company's accountant and feeds directly into the invoicing module where relevant.

Does GetUp work on mobile?

Yes. The GetUp panel is responsive on iOS and Android and can be installed as a progressive web app. The tablet check-in module is explicitly designed to run on a shared tablet placed at each location.

Is GetUp GDPR compliant?

Yes. GetUp is operated from the European Union by a Polish entity (AUTH sp. z o.o., Warszawa). Data is stored in Google Cloud / Firebase EU regions. A standard Data Processing Agreement is available at https://getup.dev/dpa.

Where is GetUp's data stored?

Tenant data is stored in Google Cloud / Firebase EU regions. The application is deployed on Vercel's edge network. Both platforms are EU-GDPR aligned.

GetUp is built and operated by AUTH sp. z o.o., a Polish company registered in Warszawa at Marszałkowska 58/15 (KRS 0001043319, NIP 5273062913). The canonical URL is https://getup.dev and support is available at support@getup.dev.

Does GetUp have an API?

GetUp uses Firebase under the hood and exposes internal endpoints under /api. A public integration API is on the roadmap; teams that need automation or data export today can get help via support@getup.dev.

Where can I report a security issue?

GetUp publishes an RFC 9116 security.txt at https://getup.dev/.well-known/security.txt. Preferred contact for responsible disclosure is support@getup.dev.

Is GetUp a When I Work alternative?

Yes for businesses that have outgrown shift-only scope. GetUp keeps the scheduling and tablet check-in but adds invoicing, payroll, procurement, an accountant portal and an AI assistant in the same panel.

When I Work or GetUp for a single café?

If shifts and team messaging are the only problem, When I Work's UX is hard to beat. GetUp earns its place when you also need invoicing, payroll and multi-location operations in one place.

Can I import staff from When I Work into GetUp?

Yes — CSV export from When I Work, CSV import into GetUp. Most teams cut over in one weekend.

Does When I Work do invoicing?

No. When I Work is workforce-scope only. Invoicing requires a separate tool — which is exactly what GetUp consolidates.

When I Work starts at $2.50 per user / month for Essentials. GetUp Starter is €69 flat / month with all modules. The break-even is around 25-30 users on Essentials.

When I Work alternatives · 2026

Looking for a When I Work alternative?

When I Work has been the simple-shift-scheduler choice since 2010. Its strengths are clean mobile UX, easy shift swap requests and team messaging — it is the tool a single-location café or a 20-person retail crew picks up in an afternoon. It does not aim to be an operations platform: payroll, invoicing, multi-company billing and procurement are explicitly out of scope.

Short answer

If your real problem is multi-brand / multi-location operations — shifts plus invoicing plus payroll plus KSeF — the closest match is GetUp. If your problem is narrower (just shift scheduling, just project management, just full ERP), the right alternative is one of the 3-4 other tools below.
