AI for trade businesses using HERO: more time on site, less at the desk. We build AI software for trade businesses and connect it to HERO.

Enquiries arrive by email, contact form and portal, often with photos and rarely with measurements. Our software turns them into a project in HERO and asks the customer for whatever is missing. From your master craftsman’s measurement notes it produces the quantities your office uses to write the quote in HERO.

What the software takes over

Turn enquiries into projects

From emails, contact forms and portal enquiries, the software creates the project in HERO, with contact, address, request and photos.

Prepare site measurements

Your master craftsman dictates the measurements or photographs his sketch. The software turns them into rooms and quantities on the project, ready for the quote.

Match wholesaler invoices

The software assigns invoices and delivery notes from the wholesaler to the right project, so your job costing adds up.

Illustrative use case

From bathroom enquiry to quote in HERO

  1. 01

    The enquiry arrives

    A couple want to renovate the upstairs bathroom, with a walk-in shower in place of the bath, and send three photos. The software creates the project in HERO and suggests a date for a site visit.

  2. 02

    Measurements on site

    At the visit, your master craftsman dictates: 6.4 m² of floor, 22 m² of wall tiles, bath out, a concealed frame for the WC. The software enters rooms and quantities on the project.

  3. 03

    Quote in HERO

    Your office writes the quote in HERO with your prices and standard descriptions of work, checks it and sends it within the same week.

Connected to HERO

You work with HERO, TAIFUN or another system. Enquiries and measurements land as a project where your office writes quotes. TAIFUN Your software

HERO offers a programming interface, including one for new enquiries. Through it, our software creates enquiries directly in HERO; anything the interface leaves out, your office moves across from a work list with one click. You keep using the AI features in HERO, for example for quotes from your business data and for the phone; we build what happens before them in the inbox and after them with incoming invoices.

Your team practises on real enquiries

In the training, your office works with enquiries as they arrive every day. Use the switch to see what a cloud AI gets to see.

Enquiry via the contact form
What the AI sees:

“Hello, we’d like to renovate our bathroom, a shower instead of the bath, photos attached. We’re at home in the afternoons from Wednesday. Is there a grant for this if the bathroom becomes accessible? Best wishes, Person 1958Heike and Uwe Brandes, Address 6604Schulweg 4, Bad Segeberg”

  1. Your server inserts placeholders
  2. Cloud AI does the work
  3. Your server puts the names back

Only your server knows which placeholder belongs to which person.

  1. Message arrives
  2. The AI on your server handles it in full

Nothing leaves your business.

  1. Create the project

    Set up the request, address and photos as a project in HERO.

  2. Plan the site visit

    Pass the afternoons the couple mentioned to the master craftsman. He picks the date and confirms.

    Pass the question about a grant for an accessible bathroom to the owner of the business. He answers it at the visit.

Questions about HERO

HERO already has AI. Why add your software?

HERO uses HERO Command to create quotes from your business data and HERO Voice to take calls. You keep using both. Our software handles what comes before: enquiries from your inbox and measurements from the site visit, so the quote starts complete.

How does the enquiry get into HERO?

Through the programming interface HERO offers, including one for new enquiries. Before the start, we check which data your HERO account makes available.

What does it cost?

The initial call is free. The AI audit costs €500 and is credited in full when you implement with AI Værk. Small solutions start at around €2,000. Hosting and support are listed separately in the proposal.

Who does the work?

You work directly with us, the founders. Justus leads consulting and training; Elias is responsible for development, integration and operation. We are happy to work alongside your IT provider.
