About us

What is homeworkbuddy?

homeworkbuddy is business software for trade contractors and property managers — and at the same time a certified German electrical and plumbing/heating master company in Berlin. Both belong to homeworkbuddy UG (haftungsbeschränkt).

Two pillars, one company

The software

One platform for the entire back office of a trade business: from first customer contact through quote, order confirmation and invoice to the VAT return filed with the German tax office. Plus payroll, inventory and property management. In the browser and as an app for iOS and Android, in nine languages.

The master company

A certified German electrical and plumbing/heating master company covering six trades in-house: electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, photovoltaics and smart home. The software grows out of daily work on site — not from a drawing board.
