poool
6.7/10Austrian cloud ERP for agencies, architecture and engineering offices, and consultancies that combines projects, time tracking, CRM, invoicing and controlling.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
poool is a browser-based ERP built in Tyrol, Austria, by two former agency owners for knowledge-based service firms such as advertising agencies, architects, engineering offices and consultancies. It covers the path from lead and offer through project and order management, time tracking, resource planning and ticketing, to outgoing and incoming invoices, travel expense reports and controlling. Finance features include XRechnung and ZUGFeRD e-invoicing, IFRS percentage-of-completion (PRAP) accounting, a SEPA interface and a DATEV/BMD export, and the product is certified GoBD-compliant. Pricing has two parts: a monthly base licence (Core 99 EUR, Teams 179 EUR, Pro 399 EUR) plus 27 EUR per user per month, and a Global plan for 100 or more users is quoted on request. Contracts run for a minimum of 12 months and need three months' notice before the term ends. Banking integration, the REST API, multi-tenancy, automatic invoice recognition, value-based billing and the Prism business analytics module are paid add-ons with no public prices. It also connects to Personio and partners with Moss for corporate cards. Support from the in-house team is unlimited and free on every plan. On OMR Reviews it holds 4.6 out of 5 from 113 reviews, most of them from small companies. poool is not a full bookkeeping system: the accounting itself is meant to happen in DATEV or BMD. Reviewers also report a real learning curve, trouble creating partial invoices, and limited mobile use.

Who poool is best for
Best software for AgenciesGood fit
Built by former agency owners, and advertising agencies are its core market.
The vendor names consultancies as a target industry, and the project billing features suit them.
Planning offices for architects and engineers are a named target industry, and the product holds BVBS certification.
Most OMR reviewers are small companies, although the 12-month minimum contract and base fee add commitment.
Less suited
The Global plan exists for 100 or more users, but the product is aimed at small and mid-sized service firms.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- One system covers offers, projects, time tracking, invoicing and controlling, so agencies can drop several separate tools.
- Support from the Tyrol-based team is unlimited and free on every plan, and OMR reviewers rate support at 96 percent.
- It supports German compliance needs, with XRechnung and ZUGFeRD e-invoicing, GoBD conformity and a DATEV/BMD export.
- ISO 27001 certification and hosting in Europe.
- Reviewers praise the fast stopwatch-based time tracking and the customisable dashboards.
Cons
- The 12-month minimum contract and three-month notice period reduce flexibility.
- Banking integration, the API and multi-tenancy cost extra, and their prices are not published.
- Reviewers report a learning curve and say creating partial invoices from orders is awkward.
- Mobile use is limited, and resource planning views can be unclear.
- It does not replace a full bookkeeping system, because the accounting is exported to DATEV or BMD.
