From quote to job to invoice
How it fits together for plumbers, without typing the same thing twice.
- Quote
A signed quote becomes a job. Urgent calls are in the call log with a summary, so you can call back and create the job.
- Job
Your employee gets the job in the app, logs hours, takes before and after photos and uses the quality checklist for bathrooms or heating systems.
- Invoice
The invoice is built from the job’s hours, materials and mileage. Service agreements can also create the invoice for each visit.
Plumbing authorisation and certificates
Plumbing work requires authorisation (VVS-autorisation), and some employees also hold a gas certificate. The app keeps track of who has what, and when it expires.
- Record plumbing authorisation, gas certificate and wet room certificate for each fitter, with an expiry date.
- You are notified 30 days before a gas certificate or an authorisation expires.
- Pressure test, fall and function test are ticked off on the quality checklist for bathrooms, heat pumps and boilers.
- Take photos of pipes and joints before they are closed in. They stay on the job if the customer or the insurer asks.

How do service agreements work?
You create an agreement per customer with an interval, such as every 12 months. The app creates the upcoming visits by itself and, if you want, the invoice for each visit too.
Can the AI phone tell urgent calls from ordinary ones?
Yes. It recognises typical urgent plumbing situations such as water damage, a burst pipe, no heating and a smell of gas. By default it texts you straight away, and the customer is told you will get back to them. Ordinary calls get a booking link. Try the AI phone with 25 free calls during the trial.
Can you send orders to Sanistål or Brødrene Dahl?
No. You order from the wholesaler as you do today. From the job you can open the item in the wholesaler’s webshop, and when you scan the receipt or invoice, the item lines are added to the job.
Does the app keep track of plumbing authorisations?
You record authorisations and certificates per employee with an expiry date, and you are notified 30 days before they expire. Who gets which job is up to you.
What does it cost for plumbers?
500 DKK a month for the company and 250 DKK per extra person. Apprentices and young workers are free (up to 2 per company).
