How it works
Honeypod handles the routine.

And where Honeypod is unsure, it asks.

Even the till receipt reads itself.
7 %, 19 % and the tip, each rate on its own.

Diligence
Recalculated, not estimated.
Every colour stays legible.
In every colour, text stands out from its background with a contrast of at least 4.5 to 1. That is what accessibility guidelines require. Where a colour is too pale for that, Honeypod adjusts the contrast. Tested across 8,784 colours.
4.5 : 1
For each colour, the contrast without adjustment on the left, with Honeypod’s adjustment on the right. Measured against the least favourable background in the light theme.
Every statement adds up.
Opening balance and transactions must add up to the closing balance, to the cent. Otherwise the statement is not let in.

GoBD-ready through period locking.
You lock a period once it has been filed. After that, no entry in it changes any more, corrections are made in the current period. Every change is recorded in an audit trail whose chain can be recalculated at any time. That is exactly what the GoBD require, the German principles for the proper keeping and retention of books, records and documents in electronic form.

Chain recalculated, no gaps
Locked quarters are closed. Every line of the audit trail carries the checksum of the previous one, so any later change stands out.
Customisation
Honeypod looks like you.
Drop in your logo, apply the colour: The whole app follows your business, down to corner radius, font and theme. For invoices and quotes there are nine templates, from till receipt to terminal, each in your colour. If none fits, you build your own in the editor.

Light and dark
Light by day, dark at night. Or the other way round.
Honeypod switches the theme with one click at the bottom of the sidebar. Both themes are tuned with equal care. Your brand colour keeps its contrast in each.
