LiDAR scanning for automated 3D modeling
Field documentation and work order logging
AI assistant and AI phone receptionist

Pros

Unifies planning, field operations, and administration in one system
LiDAR scanning drastically cuts down on manual measuring time
Tailored specifically for contractor workflows, unlike generic ERPs

Cons

Pre-configured around European building regulations and subsidy schemes
Interface and support primarily target European markets
Equipment catalogs and local codes must be adapted manually for other regions

Use Cases

Heat pump system planning
Rooftop solar system design
On-site survey documentation
Subsidy and permit applications

Editor's Note

What contractors hate most isn't the physical labor—it's coming back to the office to redraw diagrams and fill out three different paperwork forms. Software like this is designed to eliminate that exact pain point.

FAQ

Can this be used outside of Europe?

The calculation modules are built on European building regulations and climatic conditions, so direct application to local projects abroad may yield inaccurate results. The primary value lies in its streamlined workflow design rather than the native calculation outputs.

What equipment is needed for the LiDAR scan?

Any mobile device with LiDAR support is sufficient; no professional-grade laser scanner is required. However, scan quality can still be affected by lighting and clutter, so complex sites may require some manual measurements.
