Combo: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Combo is a French HR software product for staff scheduling, time tracking and payroll preparation. The application combines intelligent schedules with a digital time clock, tracking of worked hours and export of data for payroll administration. Employees use a web application, a mobile app or the time clock. Combo is the current name of the product that was previously called Snapshift and was mainly known as a scheduling tool. As a European option, Combo can replace scheduling tools such as Deputy or When I Work.

According to the legal notice on the website, COMBO SAS has its registered office in Paris. That notice refers to French law and the CNIL and does not mention the GDPR. The website states that personal data is stored with Google Cloud Platform, without naming a region. Google LLC is a US company, so a European organisation should ask Combo which Google Cloud region holds its data and which processing terms apply. The product is not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Combo

Combo is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Combo scores best on data residency.

Combo is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Combo together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
