Your AI assistant

Tell Mörgel. He writes the invoice.

Mörgel is Werkbank’s AI assistant. Type or speak: he checks data, creates the document and shows the finished PDF. It is sent only after your approval.

You“Invoice the Muster family: 42.5 m² of emulsion paint, two coats, plus three and a half hours of daywork.”

Mörgel“Invoice RE-2026-0042 has been created for €691.69. The preview is next to me.”

Mörgel also creates quotes, delivery notes and site visits. Voice mode is optional.

Your workflow. Your way.

Every business works differently. We configure Werkbank around your processes, including while your business keeps running.

  1. Understand your workflow

    From enquiry to final invoice: who does what, which forms do you use, and where do things get stuck?

  2. Set up Werkbank

    Your trade, service bundles and wording, with letterheads based on an existing document. We hide menus you don’t need.

  3. Add what is missing

    If a step doesn’t fit, we adapt the software to your business. New workflows arrive through updates, with no installation.

Tiling contractors
Site survey with areas and service bundles, feeding into quotes, tasks and costing per bundle.
Forestry

Trade software: frequently asked questions

Can’t find your question? Ask in the demo and we will answer personally.

What is Werkbank?

Werkbank is trade business software with three apps: Werkbank Zeit for time tracking, Werkbank Büro for quotes, delivery notes and invoices, and Werkbank Post for email. Each app can be booked separately; together they share customers and projects.

How do AI quotes work?

Describe the job in one sentence, such as “paint 40 m² of wall, two coats of white”. Mörgel in Werkbank Büro suggests line items. Check services and prices, then decide what to send.

Who is Mörgel?

Mörgel is Werkbank’s AI assistant. He creates quotes, invoices and delivery notes, plans site visits and answers business questions, such as your hourly rate. He uses the employee’s permissions and sends nothing without approval. Voice mode lets you talk to him.

How much does the software cost?

Werkbank Zeit: €35 per month for owner and 1 field worker, then €4.99 per additional employee. Werkbank Büro: €79 per month for 1 admin, then €25.99 per additional licence. We agree individual setup costs together based on scope. All prices are monthly final prices.

Can I book the apps separately?

Yes. If you only need time tracking, just book Werkbank Zeit. Add employees and licences as your business grows.

Does time tracking work offline?

Yes. Werkbank Zeit saves clock times even in basements or on sites with no signal and syncs when you reconnect. Breaks are deducted automatically.

Can Werkbank create e-invoices?

Yes. Werkbank Büro creates e-invoices and emails them. It includes payment reminders, bank reconciliation and accountant exports.

Can field workers see prices and invoices?

No. Field workers track time, photos and materials. Only office staff see prices. The owner creates users and decides which apps are booked.

Can Werkbank be adapted to our workflows?

Yes. We configure Werkbank for your trade: service bundles, standard texts, letterheads from an existing document and only the menus you need. We add missing steps, as we already have for tilers, forestry businesses and carpenters.

Is there inventory management?

Yes, as an add-on for Werkbank Büro: stock per warehouse and vehicle, site packing lists, usage at clock-out, equipment inspection dates and email reordering.

Can I import GAEB specifications?

Yes, in Werkbank Büro. Import the GAEB file, add your prices and create the quote.
