In active production use at
Production integrations
Companies in payroll, HR, workforce management, and security services already use Sofortmelder in production.
What you do not need to build yourself.
Building in-house is technically possible — but it takes months and requires regulatory expertise that rarely lives inside a product team.
Regulatory maintenance
Legal changes in SV reporting are continuously implemented by us — your system stays automatically compliant.
Error handling
Machine-readable error codes, descriptive responses, retry logic — all ready to use. No silent failures.
Employer number management
Management and routing by employer number, including multi-location setups — without any custom logic on your side.
Cancellation logic
Reverse reports in a DEUEV-compliant way — one API call is enough. No manual correction needed.
eAU special logic
Polling intervals, 42-day retrieval window, exceptions for privately insured and mini-jobbers — all encapsulated in our API.
Monitoring & alerts
Infrastructure monitoring, uptime, outage alerts — no ops overhead for your team.
PDF & TAN handling
Generation and delivery of DRV proofs as PDF and structured data — directly in the response.
SV reporting processes
Social-insurance reporting processes, data exchange with DRV, transmission protocols — we operate it, not you.
Ready to send instant notifications directly from your system?
No infrastructure to build. No regulatory overhead. Reply within 1 business day.
Two processes. One interface.
Instant notification and eAU differ fundamentally in their technical flow — both run through the same API.
Instant notification API
- One POST request with employee data
- DRV TAN returned directly in the response
- PDF proof as download URL in the response
- Cancellation via a dedicated endpoint
- DEUEV-compliant transmission to DRV
Endpoint: POST /v1/sofortmeldung
Response contains: status · tan · pdf_url · meldung_id
eAU API
- Asynchronous query to the health insurer
- Result returned via polling or webhook
- Retrieval up to 42 days after issuance date
- Status handling and return to your system
- Not applicable: privately insured & mini-jobbers
Endpoint: POST /v1/eau/anfrage
GET /v1/eau/status · webhook optionally configurable
For systems with people processes
When employees are created, managed, or started digitally, instant notifications belong in that same workflow.
Payroll software
Instant notifications and eAU natively in payroll — no system switching, no manual reporting step for your customers.
Workforce management
Shift starts → instant notification triggered automatically. Ideal for industries with high turnover and short-notice assignments.
HR software
Create employees and trigger the instant notification automatically — no process break, no separate reporting step.
Time tracking
First clock-in of the day → report triggered directly. Instant notification as an automatic part of the shift start.
ERP / vertical software
Use existing HR master data directly — the instant notification API handles the report fully automatically in the background.
Franchise / multi-location
Central API setup, consistent process across all locations — compliance without coordination overhead at headquarters.
Security services
Assignment starts → instant notification sent. Fully automated, legally compliant, without manual steps — including field service.
POS / cash register systems
Employee checks in at the register → instant notification automated directly from the POS. Hospitality, retail, events.
Production reporting infrastructure
Technically clean. Procedurally secured. DEUEV-compliant.
DEUEV-compliant transmission — production-proven
Direct forwarding to the German Pension Insurance (DRV)
TAN + PDF as official transmission proof
No own infrastructure required on the customer side
Servers in Germany · GDPR-compliant processing
Regulatory maintenance handled by us, not your development team
How the integration works
Typically 2 days from the first conversation to the first live report.
Request & API access
Briefly describe your use case — we reply within one business day with an API key, sandbox access, and documentation.
Technical integration into your system
Your developers integrate the endpoint into the existing HR workflow. The documentation is complete. No own infrastructure required.
Testing in the sandbox
Full test runs with sandbox data — TAN, PDF, error scenarios. No risk in the live environment.
Go-live & production operation
API key switched to production — done. Every instant notification from your customers now runs automatically through our production reporting infrastructure.
Technical questions? We will answer them directly.
API key, sandbox, and full documentation — after your request within 1 business day.
Manual reporting breaks digital systems
Media breaks
Mandatory reports outside the system create media breaks, delays, and unnecessary manual steps.
Manual data entry
Data already in the system gets typed in somewhere else manually. An error source and a waste of time.
Faulty transmissions
Typos and missing fields lead to rejected or incorrect reports — with legal risk.
Deadline risk
Instant notifications must be on file before work begins. Manual processes risk missed deadlines.
Missing automation
HR processes are not linked to reporting obligations. Every new hire requires a separate manual step.
From teams that have already integrated
CEOs with the Sofortmelder API in active production use.
"The integration was quick to implement and easy to put into operation."
"The interface was clearly documented and could be integrated without issues."
"The technical connection was straightforward and ready for production quickly."
From payroll practice
Developed with practitioners
"We helped develop Sofortmelder from the start because we felt the problem every day in our payroll office. The follow-up questions are gone, responsibility sits clearly with the employer, and the process runs without our involvement. That is exactly how it should be."
