What is plancraft?

plancraft is cloud software for craftspeople and small construction firms that handles quotes, invoices, project folders, time tracking, a planning board and post-calculation in one system. Office staff work on a computer or tablet, while crews use a mobile app on site for measurements and working hours. AI shows up in two places: incoming invoices are scanned and assigned automatically, and an AI reception service answers customer calls, records the request and keeps inquiries from getting lost. Higher plans add a GAEB interface, DATANORM and cumulative part invoices. The software runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. plancraft offers a free trial, after which an account falls back to a limited free tier. Annual billing starts at 59.90 € per month for Business, with Pro and Premium above it; all prices exclude VAT.
