AI for trade businesses First the measurements are missing, then the evening.

Inquiries arrive incomplete: measurements, location and material are missing. Until everything is there, it takes questions, calls and evenings in the office. In two weeks we build a prototype that asks precisely first and then prepares the quote draft.

often 3 h

In a described carpentry project, 10 to 30 minutes are planned for a roof-window quote. In reality it often takes around three hours, mainly because of follow-up questions.

Data protection and IT security are the most frequently named barrier to digitalisation in the trades.

Today

  1. Inquiry arrives by email or phone, details missing
  2. Follow-up calls, photos arrive via WhatsApp
  3. Assemble items and wholesale prices by hand

With the prototype

  1. The prototype reads the inquiry and checks required details
  2. If something is missing, a question to the customer is ready

Data protection

Customer data stays in Germany: data processing agreement before the first record, work with exports from your trade software, no write access. The master craftsman approves every quote.

Reference

At BVM our AI platform creates posts in the association's brand: about 45 minutes per post before, under a minute today. A person approves each one. We approach your case the same way.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI send quotes itself?

No. It asks for missing details and prepares the draft. The master craftsman reviews and approves.

Is it worth it for a small business?

The sprint is meant for businesses with their own office from about 20 employees. For smaller businesses there's the analysis and measurement day, which is credited.

Does it work with HERO or Plancraft?

By default the draft comes as PDF or CSV. A direct handover to HERO is possible if the API key arrives in time.

Where is our data?

In Germany or on your own infrastructure, with a data processing agreement and no training on your data.

Does this fit your business?

In 30 minutes you know whether the sprint makes sense for your process. Free. If not, we say so.
