From the cutting list to the final invoice: quotes for your timber construction.
Calculating timber lists, cutting and installation costs you half your evenings. We take the office side off your hands, from the quote to the paid QR invoice.
How it works
Your day as a Carpenter, just without the office evening.
Record project & dimensions
Capture spans, connections and customer wishes at the appointment, with photos and sketches right at the object.
Costing instead of gut feeling
The AI splits the draft into planning, material, cutting and installation. Your hourly and material rates make every quote consistent.
Stages with a QR invoice
Deposit on order, partial invoice after raising, final invoice after handover, all with a Swiss QR code from the same job.

Made for Carpenter
Quotes that look like your craft.
Material on the job
Timber list, fittings and orders hang on the project. You record supplier invoices against it as an expense and see the real margin.
Workshop and site separated
Cutting in the workshop, raising outdoors: reported separately, the actual costing shows where the hours really went.
Liquidity despite the timber purchase
Timber needs to be pre-financed. Deposit and partial invoices per stage keep the till on an even keel, outstanding amounts are tracked automatically.
