How it started vs. How it’s going

We gained more than 10 years of onboarding experience!
2012

A paper handbook

Appical was founded in 2012. Back then, you could expect dusty paper handbooks to read on your first days. Luckily, our founders had a marvellous idea: get rid of the paper handbook and create a solution that benefits both parties: the company and the new hire.

2023

An interactive onboarding experience

The result? An easy-to-use platform that provides your new employees with a meaningful & epic digital onboarding experience! Since then, We have been working with more than 400 clients, with as many as 438.645 users. Including, of course, our own talents!

“At the Municipality of Vught, all new employees are onboarded through the app. This approach saves a significant amount of time in the initial phase, as new colleagues can access a wealth of information through the app and review it on their own before their first day.”
