LocationSoftware development in Düsseldorf
For trades businesses with 5 to 50 employees in Düsseldorf, krafteq delivers krafteq Handwerk: standard software from the enquiry through quote, job and time tracking 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. From Leverkusen, 30 minutes across the Rhine: a named contact, a German GmbH, on-site meetings possible.
krafteq for Düsseldorfkrafteq for Düsseldorf — across the Rhine in 30 minutes
krafteq is a German GmbH based in Leverkusen, NRW. Our office sits about 25 kilometres south of Düsseldorf's old town — via the A59 or A57 you reach us in around 30 minutes, and we reach you just as quickly. A named contact instead of a call centre, plain language, on-site meetings whenever it makes sense.
30 minutes from Leverkusen across the Rhine
krafteq is based in Leverkusen, roughly 25 kilometres south of central Düsseldorf. Via A59, A57 or A52 we are at your door in 25 to 35 minutes — whether you are in Pempelfort, Bilk, Flingern or at the Medienhafen.
On-site meetings in Düsseldorf
You come to us in Leverkusen or we come to you — your workshop, the building site or your office. Both are routine. The first conversation and the handover happily on site, everything else however it suits you.
Personal, German-speaking contact
You talk to a named, German-speaking contact in Germany who is responsible for your installation — not to a sales team in another federal state. Phone or email, no call centre, no language barrier. Response usually within one working day as a rule.
German GmbH, based in Leverkusen
krafteq GmbH, registered in Cologne, head office in Leverkusen. German contracting party, German invoice, EU servers, GDPR data processing agreement available as standard. No offshore construction, no US subsidiary.

AudienceFor trades businesses in Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf is more than Königsallee, Medienhafen and corporate headquarters — its trades sector is unusually strong, especially in the period-building districts around Pempelfort, Flingern, Bilk and Oberkassel. krafteq Handwerk is cut for businesses with 5 to 50 employees; the installation arrives with the terms, units and templates of your trade.
Fit-out and renovation in Pempelfort and Flingern
Carpenters, joiners and interior fitters focused on high-end period-building renovation — enquiries, quotes with hierarchical line items, costing, material lists, crew scheduling and invoicing as XRechnung or ZUGFeRD.
Plumbing, heating and electrical in Bilk and Friedrichstadt
SHK and electrical contractors with a mix of private and commercial work. Job and appointment scheduling, a mobile day view for the crew, time tracking, measurements and supplier prices via Datanorm — in your own installation instead of a shared subscription system.
Painters and floor layers across greater Düsseldorf
Costing, measurement, photo documentation from the site, interim and final invoices — in software that does not get more expensive every year, because it is not billed per head.
Roofers and façade contractors in Oberkassel and Düsseltal
Roofers, carpenters and façade specialists on the left bank of the Rhine: measurements, site logbook, defects, maintenance appointments and invoicing — captured on the move, visible in the office immediately.
Businesses bidding for public work
If you cost publicly tendered work in Düsseldorf, you import tenders in GAEB format and produce VHB/EFB price sheets. If you do not need that, the area is switched off and disappears from the interface.
Owner-led businesses in Gerresheim, Eller and Lierenfeld
Classic right-bank trades — building sub-contractors, metalwork, construction trades. Your processes have grown over years; in standardised operation serving many customers, changes for them are typically more tightly bounded. In your own installation, processes and statuses carry the names you use.
ComparisonDüsseldorf agency, national subscription vendor, or krafteq Handwerk
Three realistic options when your Düsseldorf business digitises its processes — with an honest take on each dimension.
| krafteq Handwerk | Düsseldorf digital agency | National subscription vendor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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) |
| Adaptation to your processes | Switch areas off, rename processes, settings per installation — plus fine-tuning after go-live | high, but every change costs effort | Configuration within the standard |
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.
