LocationSoftware development in Bonn
krafteq is your partner from the Rhineland for trades businesses and companies in Bonn — from the federal quarter (Bundesviertel) and the city centre to Bad Godesberg, Beuel and Hardtberg. For trades businesses with 5 to 50 employees we deliver krafteq Handwerk: standard software from the enquiry to the e-invoice, bought once instead of rented monthly, with a dedicated installation for your business. We are currently rolling krafteq Handwerk out with the first businesses: you test it free of charge, receive an individual offer afterwards, and we set up your business together with you. Where a standard product is not enough, we build custom software at a fixed price. Headquarters in Leverkusen — about 50 minutes from Bonn, on-site meetings are entirely feasible.
Why krafteqkrafteq for Bonn — from the Rhineland, on site possible
Bonn was the federal capital until 1990 and is today a UN city, home to several federal agencies and a noticeably solid, conservative business culture — supported by a strong hidden-champion sector and a well-established trades community across the city centre, Bad Godesberg, Beuel and Hardtberg. We understand that this region expects a reliable, personal counterpart who can be at the table within an hour when needed.
About 50 minutes from Leverkusen
Our office in Leverkusen sits roughly 50 kilometres from Bonn — about 50 minutes via the A59 or A555 motorway. Meetings in the federal quarter, Bad Godesberg or Beuel are feasible without an overnight stay; we come to you, rather than asking you to travel to Cologne or Hamburg.
Personal, German-speaking contact
You talk to the same named, German-speaking contact in Leverkusen — no call centre, no language barrier, no anonymous ticket queue. Enquiries are answered within one working day as a rule, anything critical faster.
German GmbH, headquartered in Leverkusen
krafteq GmbH is registered with the Cologne commercial register, headquartered in Leverkusen. Contracts, invoices and communication run end-to-end in German under German law — relevant if your Bonn business deals with public authorities, chambers or regulated industries.
Your own installation, even without internet
Your installation runs for your business alone — own database, own domain, own configuration. Operated by krafteq on EU servers with a data processing agreement, at your own IT provider, or entirely inside your own network without an internet connection. plancraft, ToolTime and HERO describe their product as a cloud service; on that description an installation inside your own network is not part of the offering (as of Aug 2026).
Your test instance for your business in Bonn
You get your own krafteq Handwerk test instance — we set it up by hand for your trade, ready for your own data. Usually it is ready within three working days — no sales call, no obligation. Afterwards you receive an individual written offer; we set up your business together with you.

AudiencesFor trades businesses in Bonn
Bonn combines a substantial historic-building stock — the city centre, Bad Godesberg, Endenich — with the modern administrative and consulting fabric around the federal quarter. krafteq Handwerk is cut for trades businesses with 5 to 50 employees: krafteq Handwerk already reflects the daily work of a trades business, and the installation arrives with the terms, units and templates of your trade.
Plumbing, heating, air conditioning
From a heating swap in Beuel's old town to maintenance work near Tulpenfeld: enquiries, quotes with proper costing, job and appointment scheduling, mobile time tracking and invoicing in one system, with no retyping between programs.
Electrical installation
Photovoltaics, charging infrastructure and classic electrical work — for businesses that need to keep jobs, materials and appointments straight across the city centre, Bad Godesberg and right-bank Beuel.
Painters, decorators and interior fit-out
Old-building refurbishment in Bad Godesberg, residential renovation in Endenich, commercial space in the federal quarter: quotes with measurements, on-site photo documentation and invoicing in a single workflow — across smartphone, tablet and desktop.
Carpenters and joiners
Custom furniture, interior fit-out and door restoration in Bonn's older buildings: costing with real surcharge structures, material lists and crew scheduling — with the units and templates that apply in your workshop.
Roofers
Refurbishment of historic roofs in the city centre and Bad Godesberg, flat-roof maintenance in the federal quarter: measurements, site logbook, defects, interim and final invoices — without the paper chaos and the spreadsheet graveyard.
Working for public clients in the federal quarter
If you work for public authorities and clients, you import tenders in GAEB format, produce VHB/EFB price sheets and invoice as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD. If you do not need that, the area is switched off.
ComparisonBonn agency, national subscription vendor, or krafteq Handwerk
Three realistic options for a Bonn-based business digitising its processes — with an honest read on each. krafteq Handwerk is not the right fit for everyone: if you expect a 24/7 hotline, a large subscription vendor is a better choice.
| krafteq Handwerk | Bonn agency (classic) | Subscription software (national) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model | Standard software, bought once | Custom development, usually billed by effort | Subscription, monthly |
| Billing | per business | by effort | monthly per plan; plancraft bills further seats separately, HERO each further app licence, ToolTime tiers by plan (as of Aug 2026) |
| Permanent right of use | Yes | depends on the contract | No — ends with the subscription |
| Dedicated installation | Yes — own database, own domain | Yes | cloud operation at the vendor (per the vendors' own statements) |
| Operation without internet | On request | depends on the build | not part of the offering per the vendors' own description (as of Aug 2026) |
| Start | a test instance of your own, usually within three working days | build phase before first use | No verified information (as of Aug 2026) |
| GDPR / operation | EU servers, data processing agreement included | depends on the provider | data processing agreement in place, server location depends on vendor |
Competitor price sources (regular prices, net, as of Aug 2026; promotions not included): plancraft price list, ToolTime price list, HERO price list — krafteq amounts deliberately do not appear in this table — they belong in the individual offer. Statements about subscription vendors refer to their publicly described model.
