Who it’s for

Who is management software for?

For owner-run businesses with roughly 5 to 50 employees where office, field staff and management work together – and spreadsheets have reached their limits.

Software for trades businesses

Today: Quotes are written in Word, hours end up on paper notes, invoices in a third tool.

With us: From quote to working hours to invoice in one system. Everyone sees only what they need.

  • Customers & contacts

  • Time tracking
  • Projects & tasks

Example price from €12,500

Software for staff scheduling

Today: The rota lives in Excel, changes go out via WhatsApp, holidays are entered on request.

With us: Plan assignments by drag and drop. Your team sees the schedule on their phones and is notified of changes automatically.

  • Notifications

  • Multi-tenancy

Add-on to any configuration

Staffing agencies

Today: Desktop industry software with its own server, database and VPN.

  • Recruiting & dispatch
  • Time tracking
  • Invoicing

Ready-made or custom

See EagleDesk

To be honest, this is not for you if …

  • you work alone and only write simple invoices – our invoicing tool Zahlmeise is enough for that.
  • you are looking for bookkeeping or payroll – that stays in BMD or DATEV, and we connect it via an integration.
  • you need a corporate-scale ERP system – we are currently building a platform of our own for that. If you are interested, we will let you know as soon as it is ready: drop us a line

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about management software

How much does management software cost?

Typical configurations start from €6,000 one-off, excluding VAT, plus software operation from €149 / month. A small tool for one team starts from €6,000; software for trades and services with customers, quotes, invoices, time tracking and projects starts from €12,500. You get the binding fixed price after the concept workshop (€890, credited in full).

How long does development take?

That depends on the scope. You get a binding timeline together with the fixed-price quote after the concept workshop. Because we build from proven modules, you get there faster than with development from scratch.

Do I get the source code?

Your choice. The standard is a simple right of use: you use the software without restriction in your business, and we host and maintain it. With the source-code handover option (+30% on the project price) you receive the complete source code and may use it permanently, modify it and have it run on your own server. Even without this option you are not locked in: if you cancel, you get all your data as a free export, and you can buy the source code at any time.

Where does the software run?

By default on our servers in the EU, with daily backups and automatic monitoring. With the source-code handover we can also run the software on your own server, at the same price; you pay for the server.

Do I have to book software operation?

Yes. Software needs regular updates and monitoring, otherwise it becomes vulnerable. Operation costs from €149 / month, runs for at least 12 months and can then be cancelled monthly.

What happens if I cancel operation?

Without the source-code handover we switch the software off and give you all your data as a free export (Excel/CSV). You can buy the source code at any time, for the same surcharge of 30% on the project price.

How many users are possible?

Operation S covers up to 10 users, M up to 50, L is unlimited. There are no licence fees per user.

Can we bring over our Excel data?

Yes. With the data migration module we import your data from Excel or a legacy system, so you do not start from zero.

Does it work with BMD or DATEV?

Yes, through an integration. Bookkeeping and payroll stay in your existing tool, and your software exchanges the data it needs with it.

What if a module does not fit exactly?

Every module has a fixed standard scope. Anything beyond it is agreed in writing beforehand – as an extra module or by the hour at €100. No surprises on the invoice.

Is there a ready-made solution for staffing agencies?

Yes: EagleDesk, our browser-based software for temporary staffing – from recruiting and dispatch to time tracking and invoicing. Alternatively we build custom software on the same foundation.

How much of my own time does it take?

Mainly the workshop and testing the beta version. Nobody knows your workflows better than you do – your feedback is what makes the software fit.

Do you also offer AI integrations and automations?

Yes. We build AI features right into your software – for example to read documents and emails, draft texts and quotes, sort enquiries or answer questions about your data. We also automate recurring workflows such as reminders, approvals, reports or syncing data with other tools. Because this depends heavily on how you work, we set the scope and fixed price in the concept workshop; you decide which data goes to which AI service.

How do payments work?

30% on order, 40% at the beta version, 30% at go-live. Software operation is billed monthly in advance. All prices exclude 20% Austrian VAT.

Actual prices may vary depending on scope.
