Timewax: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Timewax is resource planning software for service organisations such as IT firms, accountancy practices, consultancies and technical services. It brings the planning of people and projects together in one overview, shows utilisation and margins, and records time registration within the planning. It connects to tools such as Outlook, Microsoft Teams and several ERP and PSA systems, and is offered as software as a service.

Timewax B.V. is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and therefore falls under Dutch and EU data protection law. The website links to a data processing agreement, a privacy notice and a page on ISO 27001, but it does not state where data is hosted. The website does not name a parent company or majority owner. For a European organisation this is an EU-based supplier whose list of sub-processors and hosting location can be requested directly from the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Timewax

Timewax is headquartered in NL 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 Timewax scores best on data residency.

Timewax 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 Timewax together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
