[ Contact ](https://nuxbe.com/en/contact) What Nuxbe does for trades and technology ----------------------------------------- Nuxbe runs a trades or technology business from the quote to the paid invoice in one system. The enquiry becomes a quote with positions and prices, one click turns it into the order, and the delivery note and invoice come out of the same chain without anyone entering the positions a second time. Materials and services come from the same product database the quote draws from. Instead of separate programs for quotes, stock, scheduling and accounting, everything hangs on one record. What was used and done on a job stays on the order and decides the invoice, rather than being reconstructed from memory at month end. Jobs, holidays and deadlines sit in one calendar the whole team can see. Recurring work such as maintenance contracts runs as a subscription order, from which a scheduled run creates the invoice, prints it and sends it by email. Invoices to public clients go out as e-invoices in the XRechnung 3 profile through the ZUGFeRD package. Plans, measurements and technical drawings stay in your specialist tools and arrive on the order as a document. Common Challenges Problems You Know All Too Well ------------------------------ ### Job Planning Gets Chaotic Fast Keeping track of orders, deadlines, and team assignments across spreadsheets and whiteboards leads to missed deadlines and forgotten tasks. ### Material Tracking Is Error-Prone Manual inventory management means you either run out of materials mid-job or overstock and tie up capital unnecessarily. ### Quotes and Invoices Eat Up Your Day Creating quotes, converting them to orders, and generating invoices manually is slow and error-prone — time better spent on actual work. ### The office is the last to know what happened on site Materials used, extra hours and variations end up on scraps of paper and in somebody's head. What makes it onto the invoice is decided by memory rather than by a record. How Flux Helps Your Solution, Built In ----------------------- ### Digital Order Management End-to-End Handle every step from quote to invoice in one system. Convert quotes to orders with a click, track progress in real-time, and generate invoices automatically when the job is done. ### Real-Time Material Management Track stock levels across warehouses, get alerts when materials run low, and link consumption directly to jobs. No more guessing what's in stock. ### Centralized Task & Schedule Planning Assign tasks to team members, manage deadlines on a shared calendar, and see who's working on what — all from one dashboard. How it runs One job from enquiry to payment ------------------------------- 1. 1 ### The enquiry becomes a quote The enquiry arrives by phone or email and becomes a quote with positions, quantities and prices. Once the customer agrees, one click turns it into the order without anyone entering the positions a second time. The delivery note and the invoice come out of the same chain. [ Go to Order Management ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/orders) 2. 2 ### Materials and services come from one source Products, variants and composed service packages live in the product database rather than in a price list in a folder. A package made of ten positions is maintained once and then dropped into every quote as a single line. [ Go to Product Information Management ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/pim) 3. 3 ### The appointment is set before the team drives out Jobs, holidays and deadlines sit in one calendar everybody can see. Who is booked when, and which resource that takes, lives in one place instead of on a whiteboard that only hangs in the office. [ Go to Calendar ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/calendar) 4. 4 ### The work is handed out and ticked off What has to happen on a job becomes a task with an owner, a deadline and a checklist. Subtasks cover multi-stage work, and comments and photos hang directly on them. Progress can be read rather than asked for. [ Go to Task Management ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/tasks) 5. 5 ### Supplier invoices run through approval The wholesaler's invoice is captured, checked, approved and paid along a traceable route instead of a pile in a tray. Account assignment and VAT rates hang off the master data rather than on how the day is going. [ Go to Accounting ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/accounting) Key Modules The Tools You Need ------------------ [ #### Order Management Complete workflow from quote to invoice - all your sales documents in one system ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/orders) [ #### Product Information Management Central product database with all article information ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/pim) [ #### Accounting Professional accounts payable with invoice approval and payment processing ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/accounting) [ #### Task Management Organize and track todos for your entire team ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/tasks) [ #### Calendar Unified calendar view for all your business events ](https://nuxbe.com/en/modules/calendar) Limits What Nuxbe does not do for your business ---------------------------------------- Nuxbe is not drawing software and not a measurement program. Plans, measurements and technical drawings still originate where they originate today and arrive on the order as a document. What Nuxbe takes over starts with what gets billed from them. There is no trades edition to install. What this page describes is a combination of modules that belong to the standard scope, plus the premium packages you actually need. That is a setup decision rather than a licensing question. The heaviest part of a rollout is not the software but the master data. Migrating products, prices and customers cleanly out of a system that grew over years is work, and underestimating that part only moves the problems into the new system. Frequently asked questions -------------------------- Can I turn a quote into an order and an invoice with one click? Yes. The quote is converted into an order and all positions move with it. The order produces the order confirmation, delivery note and invoice as print views of the same record. Printing the invoice assigns the invoice number and locks the document. Does Nuxbe manage my materials and stock? Yes. Products, variants and composed service packages live in the product management, stock is tracked across locations and consumption is linked to the job. A service package made of several positions is maintained once and dropped into a quote as a single line. Can I bill maintenance contracts on a recurring basis? Yes, through subscription orders. A scheduled run creates the invoice, prints it and sends it by email. Notice period and minimum term can be set. Does Nuxbe create e-invoices for public clients? Yes, with the ZUGFeRD add-on package. It embeds the structured invoice data in the XRechnung 3 profile into the invoice PDF. Does Nuxbe do measurements or technical drawings? No. Nuxbe is not drawing software and not a measurement program. Plans, measurements and drawings still originate in your specialist tools and arrive on the order as a document. What Nuxbe takes over starts with what gets billed from them. Ready to Modernize Your Workshop? --------------------------------- Join trades businesses that run smarter with Nuxbe.
