Aldor next to Forty Tools
Forty Tools is software for service businesses. By their own statement, over 1,200 customers — across building cleaning, security and facility services, landscaping, and care services. If you only do Alltagshilfe, Aldor is shaped exactly for your case.
Aldor
One tool for Alltagshilfen.
One app for clients, employees, schedules, documentation, Pflegekassen billing, and payroll — plus a white-label customer portal for your families.
Forty Tools
Software for service businesses.
Forty Tools describes itself on its own website as software for "organisation, time tracking, billing" — with modules for several industries. A module extension covers care services.
What you don't get anywhere else
While other tools only run the back office, with Aldor you give your families their own portal — in your brand, with live tracking, budget transparency, and self-rescheduling.
Your domain, your colours, no Aldor logo. Families see "their" Alltagshilfe.
Families see the ETA. No one has to call, no one has to staff a phone on your side.
Families always see what's left of the relief budget.
Booking requests from customers, approval by you — saves calls, every step logged.
What Aldor does differently
Aldor was built around § 45b SGB XI — remaining budget per client, assignment forms, Pflegekassen aggregate invoice with the right IK-number set. In a multi-industry product that's an add-on; for us it's the main axis.
Providers under § 45a undergo annual recognition audits with the state authority. Aldor includes the reports the authority asks for, ready to print.
When software speaks "work order," "object," and "timesheet," you have to translate those into "client," "visit," "service record." Aldor speaks your language directly.

When not Aldor
If your business goes beyond Alltagshilfe, Forty Tools is worth a look. Three cases where Forty Tools is likely the better tool.
Cleaning, security, facility services, and Alltagshilfe in one operation — a multi-industry suite makes sense here. Aldor only does Alltagshilfe.
Forty Tools names building cleaning as a primary target. If most of your revenue is classical cleaning without § 45b, a cleaning-software fits better.
A migration is effort. If Forty Tools works for you and you're satisfied, there's rarely a reason to switch. We recommend Aldor only when the move pays off.
