The initial situation of the roofing industry
Nicolai Jährling passionately runs the Jahrling roofing company — a company with 9 employees. While he and his team do a great job on the roofs, everyday office life was a real challenge for him for a long time. In particular, managing offers and invoices not only robbed him of time but also of nerves. Nicolai worked with Word and Excel, which brought more problems than solutions in everyday life. Each offer had to be laboriously recreated, formatting was constantly broken, and there was no clear structure. A new file was created for each new customer, and legal security was not always guaranteed without sequential invoice numbers. But the biggest obstacle was mental: “After a long day at work on the roof, going to the office to write an offer — it simply took some effort,” says Nicolai.
The solution? Plancraft. He has been using the platform since 2021 — and with great success.
How plancraft makes everyday work easier
With plancraft, office trust is a thing of the past. The smart editor allows Nicolai to create offers and invoices in no time at all. He finds the project folder particularly helpful, in which all relevant information is stored in one place. Photos of construction site visits, notes and documents — everything is quickly accessible.” I now save 8 to 12 hours of office work every week,” says Nicolai. “That gives me more time for my team and my customers.” Thanks to the planning board and time recording, everyone in the team can access the information they need and work efficiently. Another advantage: The longer Nicolai uses plancraft, the more he benefits from his growing database. Sample offers, master data and service texts enable him to handle even complex projects quickly and precisely.
Why Nicolai recommends plancraft
“If, like me, you spend most of your time outside as a handyman and simply find office work annoying, then try out plancraft,” advises Nicolai. The intuitive operation and enormous time savings not only make everyday work easier, but also create space for the really important things — whether at work or at home. Today, Nicolai is motivated to approach office work. What used to be a mental hurdle has become an efficient part of his everyday working life thanks to plancraft.
