# Tagxter GmbH - Full Information > Tagxter develops app-based software solutions for digital yard management and healthcare shift coordination. Based in Cologne, Germany. ## Company Overview Tagxter was founded in mid-2015 by four business informatics graduates at the University of Cologne. From their offices in the TechnologiePark Cologne, they develop special yard management software for companies of different business sectors (e.g. chemical parks, clinics, company premises, steelworks, plants and other business premises). Their long-term goal is to establish a de-facto standard for navigation on private and company sites. This is because regular navigation devices and apps don't work (correctly) behind the property lines/fences. As of today, the Tagxter "Site Guide" is already the most used on-site navigation software in Germany. All servers are exclusively located in Germany and run on 100% renewable energy (hydropower). All software development is carried out in Germany with no outsourcing to third parties. The apps fully comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). ### Contact Details - **Company:** Tagxter GmbH - **Address:** Eupener Str. 165, 50933 Cologne, Germany - **Management Board:** Andreas Zerbes, Fabian Ruehle, Marius Muelder - **Email:** info@tagxter.com - **Phone:** +49 221 16900 523 (Mon-Fri, 08:00-16:00 CET) - **Languages:** German and English - **Website:** https://www.tagxter.com - **LinkedIn:** https://www.linkedin.com/company/tagxter - **District Court:** Cologne, HRB 86728 - **VAT ID:** DE305747253 --- ## Product 1: Tagxter Site Guide **Digital Yard Management: Mobile maps, forms, time slot booking and navigation for cars, trucks and pedestrians on industry sites, private sites, business premises, chemical parks, clinics, universities.** - 125,000+ downloads - 4.5 star rating - Available as native iOS/Android app and web app - Also available in on-board computers and telematics systems (Trimble, Astrata, WEBFLEET, Spedion) - 26 in-app languages with automatic translation - No on-site hardware (e.g. terminals) required ### Core Modules **Navigation & Maps:** The app guides visitors, employees and suppliers safely from the gate to their destination (e.g. loading point) - even where normal navigation devices do not work. This makes paper maps obsolete. **Pager + Chat:** Track the location of vehicles (live), write messages, assign loading points or send behavioral instructions (multilingual). There is no need to pick up vehicles manually from the waiting area or hand out notices on paper. **Digital Forms:** Carry out safety briefings, visitor or truck driver registrations or load securing documentations in a mobile, digital, audit-proof and contactless manner. **Time Slot Booking:** Improve inbound flow control by offering hauliers and service providers a simple online option to book time slots for loading and unloading on the premises. Reduces wait times and optimizes yard throughput. **Construction Zone Management:** Digital construction zone management keeps all construction activities and restricted areas visible. Zones can be scheduled and (de)activated automatically. Route calculation automatically takes closures into account for the selected means of transportation (car/truck/pedestrian). ### Use Cases **Industry & Business:** Smart app-based yard management. Ideal for registrations, safety instructions, load securing documentation, communication and loading point calls via pager (including chat function). Including precise on-site navigation taking into account all plant-specific rules. **Clinics & Universities:** Facilitate orientation on clinic or university campuses for patients, visitors, employees or students. **Leisure & Culture:** Whether open-air museum, zoo, garden show or open day - the app guides guests to individual "Points of Interest" on the site. ### Key Benefits - Time/money savings: avoids delays and follow-up costs - Paper and hardware-free: digitization without additional hardware - Road closures and redirections in seconds - Goodbye language barriers: 26 languages - Integration into existing software and telematics systems - Standard software: established solution, not isolated applications - Increased safety through behavioral instructions and safe navigation - Navigation hints at specific moments - Analytics: automatic recording of key figures ### App Downloads - iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/site-guide-navigation-pager/id1253088574 - Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tagxter.siteguideportal ### Partners - **Astrata:** Integration of Site Guide Navigation in Astrata DriverLinc board computers - **Trimble:** Integration of Site Guide Navigation in Trimble FleetXPS devices - **COSMO CONSULT:** Initiative "Industrie 4.0 - Digitale Baustelle" --- ## Product 2: Tagxter Shift Manager **Healthcare shift coordination app for hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and outpatient care services.** The Shift Manager makes it easier for healthcare facilities to fill open shifts (e.g. in nursing or medical staff) with their own personnel. Ward managers or pool managers can set up shifts to be filled with just a few clicks, which can then be taken over by employees in the app (or assigned directly to a staff member).
