Location LeverkusenSoftware development in Leverkusen

Yes. krafteq GmbH, Marie-Curie-Straße 8, 51377 Leverkusen — registered with the Cologne commercial register. Our office is located in the Manfort district, well connected via the A1, A3, A59, and A542 motorways and Leverkusen Mitte railway station. We are not a mailbox or a branch of an out-of-town corporation.

Of course. Within the city — from Wiesdorf via Schlebusch and Opladen to Hitdorf — we typically reach you in 15 minutes, with no travel charges. You can also come to us in Manfort. Working fully remotely is equally fine if that is more practical for you.

Yes. Leverkusen sits between Cologne and Düsseldorf on the Rhine — we are regularly with customers across the Rhineland and NRW. Travel to Cologne takes 20 minutes, to Düsseldorf 30 minutes, to Bonn 40 minutes. We do not charge travel for on-site meetings within the Rhineland.

Three points. First, proximity: we sit in Leverkusen and you have a named contact instead of a call centre. Second, the model: you buy a permanent right of use instead of renting monthly — billed per business, not per head, so the software does not get more expensive when you hire. Third, the dedicated installation: own database, own domain, on request entirely without an internet connection. A cloud account with the vendor does not provide for that, per the vendor's own description (as of Aug 2026). The individual comparisons are at plancraft, ToolTime and HERO.

Usually within three working days. You tell us briefly in the enquiry form what your business does; we set up a test instance of your own by hand — pre-configured for your trade, with the terms, units and templates you already know. No sales call, no obligation — we get back to you within one working day as a rule with one or two quick questions about your business. You try with your own data whether it fits.

A fixed-price perpetual licence, paid once, plus the ongoing operation of your installation — with krafteq as an annual service with the first year included, or run by yourself. No monthly licence fee, no hidden add-on tiers; billing is per business rather than per head. Concrete amounts deliberately do not appear on this page: they depend on trade, size and the scope you want, and they belong in your written offer. How the price is composed is on the pricing page.

Then we say so. krafteq Handwerk covers a trades business from the enquiry to the invoice, but not everything: no bookkeeping in the sense of a general ledger and balance sheet, no stock and no purchasing, no payroll, no portal for your own end customers. If your needs go beyond that, we build custom software at a fixed price, in house — entry via a free initial conversation.
