What we get asked.
Compatible with Batappli or Codial?
No native import, but CSV export is compatible. For construction price libraries (BatiPrix, BetiAcc), CSV import with automatic mapping.
Chorus Pro for public contracts?
Yes, native Chorus Pro connector (Factur-X). Automatic submission of invoices to the public portal.
Ten-year structural warranty and trade card?
Documents stored in the legal vault, accessible on the move. Alert 30 days before expiry. A secure link shareable with a principal.
Clocking my workers in on site?
Mobile app with geofencing: site start, site end, break. Hours consolidated per site and per worker, automatically into payroll.
For a solo craftsperson, isn't it too much?
No : SoloCore covers the quote, the Factur-X invoice, before/after photos, customer loyalty. You save ~€200/mo over Tolteck + Capeb + iLovePDF + Smallpdf.
Reduced VAT 10 / 5.5 per line, is it in the quote?
Yes. Each line has its VAT rate (renovation / energy improvement = 10 or 5.5 by criteria, new build = 20). Customer attestation for 5.5% auto-generated.
I do my quotes from the van, often with no signal: does it hold up?
Yes. Field work runs offline: photos, clock-ins and handover reports queue up and sync on their own when the signal returns. And the quote comes together in minutes with the work-item library: in the car park after the visit, it goes out by SMS as soon as you get coverage.
I work with subcontractors: is the VAT reverse charge handled?
Yes. Each subcontracted lot is declared on the site with its amount: invoicing switches to the reverse charge with the required legal wording, and the cost flows into the actual site spend. You see the net margin, subcontracting deducted.
