About ToolTime
ToolTime is a job management software solution for tradespeople. Launched in Germany in 2018, the SaaS platform helps SMEs and sole traders say goodbye to paperwork chaos and hello to digital efficiencies that save up to 30% of working time.
Developed specifically for home service trades to address their reliance on pen, paper and basic computer software such as Word and Excel, and to reduce long hours doing paperwork, ToolTime simplifies all company administrative processes. Work time tracking, appointment planning, construction site documentation or quote and invoice creation are all completed in just a few clicks.
In an industry plagued by skilled labour shortages, ToolTime is designed to make it quick and simple for tradespeople to digitise to help them become more efficient. The time saved can be refocused on getting the job done, achieving growth, or simply redressing work-life balance.
The cloud-based web application allows business owners to effortlessly keep track of work in real-time, from wherever they are, boosting administrative productivity, and helping to provide a smooth, more transparent service for customers. No more paperwork chaos or chasing employees for updates – all documentation can be stored centrally in the cloud, helping to keep tabs on client requests, orders, invoices and more. Appointment scheduling, free customer SMS confirmation service and map-based appointment visibility help with operational planning to ensure timeliness on the job and clear customer communications.
On the road, team members can rely on the mobile app to access appointment information, log work done, time spent and materials used on a job and get customer sign-off. This is all linked in real-time to the web software so that administrative staff can quickly and easily link the information provided to quote and invoice creation for greater transparency, professionalism and much quicker paperwork processes.

- Configuration for in-country tax systems to allow easy export of financial information for hassle-free tax returns,
