Subscription vendors sell many features as add-ons — at Krafteq they're part of the v1. Here are the most important ones.
Setup, onboarding, training
Included in the fixed price. We set up logins, import initial data and walk through the software with you. Typical subscription-vendor surcharge: €500–2,000 one-off.
Third-party integrations
Standard interfaces (DATEV, Lexoffice, e-invoicing, IDS-Connect for plumbing) are included in the fixed price when relevant to the selected features. Typical subscription surcharge: €30–80 per month per interface.
Multiple users, multiple devices
Custom software is your software — we don't charge per-user licences. Typical subscription surcharge: €15–40 per employee per month.
Data export, migration
Data belongs to you. Export anytime via self-service in the Customer Portal. On cancellation, 30-day data export window. Typical subscription vendor: 'on request' — sometimes possible, sometimes not.
