Automation for trade businesses

Jobs come from customers who need someone now — and they find whoever can be found.

Does this sound familiar?

The order books are full — the problem is the office. Quotes are written in the evening, timesheets come crumpled out of trouser pockets, and the invoice goes out three weeks later than it could. Every day of delay is a day later payment.

  • No listing in local searches, or one with wrong details
  • The website shows no references, no photos of completed work
  • Enquiries by phone only — anyone searching in the evening reaches nobody
  • No reviews, even though customers are satisfied

What we actually do

  1. Show up in local search

    Google Business Profile, industry directories and consistent details everywhere — so it is clear where you work and what you do.

  2. Show your work instead of describing it

    References with photos. In the trades, what people can see decides, not the list of services.

  3. Take enquiries around the clock

    A form that asks the right questions, so that you already know what it is about when you call back.

  4. Collect reviews systematically

    Satisfied customers rarely leave reviews on their own. A fixed routine changes that — and reviews have a direct effect on local visibility.

From enquiry to invoice

This is how the process runs today — and this chain is exactly where automation comes in.

  1. Enquiry by phone, form or portal
  2. Capture property details and scope of work
  3. On-site measurement, photos and notes
  4. Quote from costing template
  5. Approval by the master craftsperson
  6. Order, scheduling, material ordering
  7. Timesheets and daywork reports
  8. Invoice with supporting records

Systems typically used here

This is the existing landscape an automation connects to. Listed is what is widespread in this industry — it says nothing about which system you use.

  • Trade software such as Streit, Label, pds or TopKontor
  • Measurement and costing tools
  • Mobile time recording on site
  • GAEB files in tendering
  • Lexoffice, sevDesk or DATEV for accounting

What matters most here

Records, warranty and VOB contracts

Daywork reports, timesheets and acceptance records are the evidence in a dispute. Automation must not summarise or rephrase them but must file them completely and unchanged — with a timestamp and linked to the job. With VOB construction contracts, deadlines depend on acceptance, so triggering those deadlines belongs in the process.

Frequently asked questions

I don’t have time to look after a website.

You don’t have to. We need one conversation and a few photos of your work; we take care of the rest. You can do the maintenance yourself or leave it to us.

Is it worth it when the order books are full?

Then it isn’t about more jobs, but better ones. Visibility lets you choose instead of taking whatever comes.

What does ongoing support cost?

From €39 a month for hosting and security updates, from €99 including changes. It also works without support — then everything is handed over to you.

Shall we look at your business?

The visibility check shows where you stand in a few seconds. Free, no sign-up.
