The software that truly supports landscapers and gardeners
How your workday becomes more efficient
As a landscaper or gardener, you spend a lot of time outdoors and (ideally) less time at the desk. That's why it's important to have access to all the key features of your office software while you're on the go. With plancraft, you have craft software that works both from the office and on the road. Manage projects and handle customer inquiries - from anywhere, at any time!

The most important features for landscapers and gardeners
Invoicing software for the landscaping sector

With the GaLaBau invoicing programme, you can create quotations, interim invoices and final invoices directly from the job order. Generate e-invoices in XRechnung format at the touch of a button, and export data to DATEV for your tax adviser. You only need to set up recurring invoices once for hedge-trimming, lawn-mowing or maintenance contracts.
On-site measurements in the garden

You can measure flowerbed areas, paved paths or wall heights directly on site using your iPad. plancraft automatically calculates square metres and lengths. Recesses for trees, fountains or steps can be deducted in accordance with VOB rules. All values are incorporated into your cost estimate and all follow-up documents — without any typing errors when you return to the office.
Calculating planting lists, paving work and hourly rates accurately

“Hornbeam hedge planting per running metre” or “Granite paving per square metre” — you set up these building blocks once in the quotation programme, specifying the planting price, substrate costs, stone materials and hourly rate. The next time you’re preparing a quote, you can simply drag and drop them in with a single click. plancraft calculates materials and labour in real time and shows you your margin — even for multi-trade projects involving planting, path construction and irrigation.
When the weather changes: A simple planning board

Three building sites, two teams, a hedge-trimming appointment with a care client, and rain is forecast for tomorrow. On the digital planning board, you can see at a glance who is where and when, and reschedule appointments quickly and easily. You can plan recurring care visits in advance — no season is overlooked, no round is forgotten.
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.
