The most important features for joiners.
Costing for joiners and carpenters: materials, timber and labour at a glance


As a joiner, you juggle dozens of materials per job. With the integrated costing programme for joiners, you can enter timber types, fittings, veneers and sheet materials once in the master data and combine them into items with a single click. You can view material and labour costs in real time, apply surcharges either visibly or invisibly, and keep your margin under control at all times.
Digital surveying carried out directly on site at the customer’s premises

Whether it’s a wall unit, a fitted kitchen or a staircase refurbishment: with the mobile measurement feature in your joinery software, you can record all measurements directly on your iPhone or iPad. The data is automatically fed into your quotation and all subsequent documents — from the quotation and order confirmation right through to the final invoice. This means that duplicate entries and data entry errors are a thing of the past.
Scheduling board for the workshop, assembly and staff

With Schreiner Software’s digital planning board, you can organise workshop jobs and installation appointments centrally. You can see at a glance which staff member is available and when, assign teams to entire projects, and keep an eye on machine utilisation. You can move appointments using drag and drop — everyone involved receives the update immediately on their smartphone.
Cloud and mobile app: work wherever you happen to be


plancraft runs entirely in the cloud — on Mac, Windows, iPhone and iPad. Your staff can record working hours and material usage directly in the workshop or on site, send photos of furniture assembly to the office, and view up-to-date job details without the need for paperwork. In the background, all data is stored in a German data centre in accordance with the GDPR.
E-invoicing, GoBD and DATEV — legally compliant

From 2025, as a joiner, you’ll need to be able to receive e-invoices, and from 2027, you’ll also need to be able to send them. plancraft generates e-invoices at the touch of a button, archives your documents in accordance with GoBD standards, and exports all data directly to your tax adviser via DATEV. This means your joinery business can stay calm even in the event of a tax audit.
The trial is completely free and without obligation. Alternatively, you can book a demo session and have a Plancraft team member guide you through the software.
