Standard software for your Elektro (electrical contracting) business — bought, not rented

Through two mechanisms that are built in: recurring jobs as a series with their own appointment per installation, and questionnaires for whatever is recorded on site — readings, visual check, result. You define the fields yourself instead of receiving a rigid form. Result, photos and hours sit on the job; at the next appointment the history is there again. We do not promise a certified inspection module — whatever your practice needs beyond this belongs in the fine-tuning.

Yes — as a document on the job, so the engineer finds it on site instead of phoning the office. Design work stays in EPLAN or AutoCAD: we do not build a CAD tool and have no intention of replacing one.

Yes, as their own job type. Process types are data in the system, not programming: own name, own statuses, own number range, own document defaults. A PV job therefore runs from registration through commissioning to handover as one process. Whatever the grid operator or a subsidy scheme additionally requires, we pick up in the fine-tuning.

Yes, via Datanorm — in and out. You cost with current supplier conditions, in the units of your trade and with a real surcharge structure per cost type. Stock levels, purchase orders and goods receipt are deliberately not covered — the system is not built for that, and we say so up front.

Yes. The interface runs in the browser on smartphone and tablet; the site sees a lean day view with job, site measurements, hours and receipts — no prices, no customer data, no settings. And because we bill per business rather than per head, the seats for your engineers are included.

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.

Yes, built in: GAEB import and export (GAEB 90 with D81/D83/D84/D86, GAEB 2000, GAEB DA XML), plus VHB/EFB price sheets generated from the costed line items. If you only serve commercial and private clients you do not need it — in that case you simply switch the area off.

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. Your installation keeps running even if you take over operation yourself — data export at any time.

When krafteq runs it, on servers of European providers (Hetzner, OVHcloud or IONOS) in Germany — the architecture supports GDPR-compliant operation, and a DPA is available as standard, encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest, a dedicated database for your business. Or on your own server, or entirely without an internet connection. krafteq is based in Leverkusen, NRW — in the Rhineland between Cologne and Düsseldorf, a personal point of contact for electrical businesses in the region.

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.
