Standard software for your roofing business — bought, not rented

In the browser on tablet or smartphone, right at the property: record part-surfaces with dimensions, pitch and junctions, with photos per surface. The measurement sits on the job and feeds costing and invoicing without retyping. The site sees only job, measurement, hours and receipts — no prices, no customer data.

We do not promise a weather integration — that would be a commitment we cannot keep today. What the software does: appointments, crew and jobs sit in one place, so replanning a rained-off week takes minutes instead of an evening on the phone. If your business needs more than that, it belongs in the fine-tuning — and then we say up front what it costs.

Through questionnaires: you define which fields a damage record needs — description, dimensions, affected area, condition. Photos, measurement and site diary sit on the same job, so nothing gets lost in a photo folder. The record can be issued as a document; it is not a ready-made insurance form, but it is the basis for one.

Yes, as photos on the job — whether from your own equipment or supplied by a service provider. They then sit alongside the measurement, site diary and defects on the same record instead of in a separate folder.

Yes. The interface is a web application and runs in the browser on smartphone and tablet — no app-store install required. The site sees a lean day view: job, measurements, hours, receipts. And because we bill per business rather than per head, the seats for your crews are included.

Yes, built in: interim invoices as work progresses, a final invoice deducting amounts already paid, recurring invoices, open items and dunning. For public-sector clients, GAEB import and export plus VHB/EFB price sheets from the costed line items come on top.

XRechnung and ZUGFeRD are built in: invoices arise from the job and go out as a structured data set or as a ZUGFeRD PDF. Receiving has been mandatory since 2025; sending becomes mandatory in stages from 2027 and 2028 under the German Wachstumschancengesetz. Receipts, cash book and the DATEV export with the receipt package for your tax advisor are part of it.

As their own job type: own name, own statuses, own number range, own templates — that is configuration, not development. The job is visible in the crew's day view straight away, with address, description and photos. Automatic route planning is not included; if you need it, we say so in the quote rather than promising it.

A fixed-price perpetual licence, one-off, plus running your installation — no monthly licence fee and no per-head billing. Operation by krafteq is an annual service covering security updates, backups, monitoring and support; the first year is included. Self-hosting on your own server is equally available. The concrete terms are set out in your quote.

The perpetual right of use is yours; the software remains our product — which is precisely why it costs considerably less than a build from scratch. If you run it yourself — on your server, with your IT provider or offline — we hand you the source code of the delivered version: for inspection and further development for your business, no redistribution. Under krafteq operation the source stays with us; you can switch to self-operation at any time, and we then hand over images, documentation and source code. The data sits on servers in Germany when krafteq runs it — or on your own server, or entirely without an internet connection. Data export at any time.

krafteq is based in Leverkusen, NRW — in the Rhineland between Cologne and Düsseldorf. A direct point of contact from Germany, on-site meetings possible, fully remote equally so. We know the German trades market and the requirements roofing businesses between Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf face.

Contract language is German. The terms in your written offer and our German terms and conditions (AGB) govern; this page describes the model and is not a contract.
