In Italy, software houses stand out for combining cutting-edge technology with creativity and customer focus. These companies typically specialize in designing and developing web apps, mobile applications, and management systems tailored for SMEs.
Among the most renowned are Afea, which developed the H2O electronic medical record, and Contech, creator of Travelkey, an app for optimizing hotel operations. Then there’s HT Apps, a standout player that combines technical excellence with a strong commitment to European projects.

HT Apps history: an innovative SME
Founded in 2004, HT Apps is an innovative SME and part of the JO Group. Its mission is to provide user-friendly tools that improve operational efficiency for both private entities and public administrations, reducing costs and saving time.
Its flagship products include JOBy and JO Hall.
JOBy
JOBy is the ultimate time-tracking app. Unlike competitors’ more complex systems, JOBy combines intuitive design with a rich set of features. Any employee can clock in quickly and securely—with just a single tap!
The app records work hours via smartphone, replacing manual systems. On the back end, JOBy enables detailed reporting and easier management of shifts and overtime.
Key features
- instant clock-in via smartphone—just one tap!
- privacy-compliant geolocation: used only to verify that the employee is in the designated workplace;
- detailed reports with zero errors;
- automatic logout to prevent user oversight.
Who it’s for
JOBy is perfect for office workers and also for remote or mobile staff such as:
- construction workers;
- couriers;
- drivers;
- cleaning personnel;
- security guards;
- off-site staff;
- home care assistants.
JOBy also tackles absenteeism and data loss, making clocking in easier, faster, and more practical than ever before.

JO Hall
Another product made by HT is JO Hall, a modular management system that streamlines business processes for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, professional offices, and shops.
JO Hall allows users to track tasks and manage orders, invoices, and quotes from a single platform. As a cloud-based system, it syncs data in real time and fosters communication between different company units—logistics, inventory, accounting, production, marketing, and Customer service.
Its goal is to automate and optimize internal processes, increasing overall productivity and efficiency.
Commitment to Europe
HT Apps is also proudly actively involved in the development of European projects. The company is part of several transnational consortia and has developed the following web apps:
AccelerAction
Developed under the Horizon Europe program, AccelerAction is a web app designed to support business accelerators and foster innovation ecosystems.
It includes four main tools:
- a training area featuring interactive courses;
- a library with articles and publications;
- a community for information exchange;
- an interactive map to identify potential partners through AI-based matchmaking.
The project as a whole supports innovation and deep tech collaboration across borders.
MyFunds App
Created as part of the REFERENCE project, MyFunds App helps users discover available public funding opportunities.
Its users include national/regional stakeholders, local authorities, academic institutions, and both established and emerging businesses (depending on each funding scheme’s guidelines).
The platform simplifies the search process—just set filters (user type, location, sector, funding type), and the app provides tailored results. A built-in interactive map also displays the number of funding calls in each EU country participating in the consortium.
The app’s database is constantly updated, currently covering both the 2021–2027 programming period and the previous one.
STAGE
The STAGE web app helps migrants become familiar with the language of their host country and build local community networks.
The app includes a mentoring section, an info hub on available services, and an interactive map for sharing stories and migration routes
