Order Management for Tradespeople
Get control of projects, time, and invoicing in one place
If you run a trade or service business, you probably know these challenges: losing track of orders and projects, unrecorded hours, forgotten or delayed invoices, materials without documentation, and confusion between the office and people in the field.
Why order management is the key to an efficient trade business
Order management for tradespeople is about gathering everything in one system, so you can get rid of Excel sheets, paperwork, and forgotten hours. A good order management system must be simple, digital, and built for your industry. It must work on the construction site, in the service van, and in the office – without requiring IT education.
What is order management for tradespeople?
Order management is a digital tool that helps you plan, record, and invoice the work in your business.
An order management system typically consists of these modules:
| Module | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Case Management | Create and manage orders and projects | You get control of who does what – and when |
| Time Tracking | Employees record working time directly from the app | You won't lose any billable hours |
| Material Management | Add used materials to the project | Fewer errors in invoicing, everything is documented |
| Invoicing | Send invoices directly from the system | Save time and get paid faster |
| Quality Assurance | Upload pictures, checklists, and notes from the work | Meets requirements from customers and authorities |
| Accounting Integration | Transfer data to e-conomic, Dinero, Uniconta, etc. | Everything is posted automatically, no double work |
In short: Order management digitalizes your entire flow – from quote to invoice.

Order management is created for all trades in the craft and service industry. The most common users are:
- Carpentry and joinery businesses
- Plumbers and electricians
- Painting companies

Whether you have 2 apprentices or 50 employees, you benefit from gathering everything in one place.
Benefits of using order management in everyday life
1You save time – every single day
Everything that previously took hours in the office can now be handled with a few clicks. Hours and materials are recorded automatically, and invoices are generated in seconds.
📊 An average trade business saves 5-10 hours per week per employee with digital order management.
2You avoid errors and forgotten hours
The system ensures that all hours and materials are recorded correctly – even when it's hectic on the site.
3You get control of finances
Each project continuously shows how many hours and materials have been used. You can see profit per customer and per task – and act before a project goes wrong.
4You get more satisfied customers
With digital documentation, pictures, and checklists, you can prove the quality of your work. You send invoices faster and more accurately – this creates trust.
5You get rid of paper clutter
Goodbye to manual timesheets, emails, and notes. Everything is digital, searchable, and in one place.
Mobile order management – everything in your pocket
A good order management system must be usable on the go. Employees can via the app:
- See today's tasks
- Record working time and breaks
- Add materials and photos
- Sign completed projects
- Fill out checklists and quality assurance
Everything synchronizes in real-time with the office. This means you always know where your people are and what has been done – without having to call around.
From project to invoice – automatic and error-free
When a project is finished, you can with one click:
Review hours and materials
Generate an invoice
Send it directly to the customer
Synchronize with your accounting program
This eliminates errors, saves time, and ensures that no hours are lost.
💰 Many tradespeople experience a 5-10% increase in revenue when everything is recorded digitally – simply because nothing is forgotten.
Integrations – your system must work together with the rest
A modern order management system must be able to connect to:
Accounting Systems
e-conomic, Dinero, Uniconta, Billy
Suppliers
Solar, Brødrene Dahl, AO Johansen
Bank & Payroll
NemKonto, Danløn
Project Management
Asana, Google Workspace
When systems talk to each other, you avoid double entry – and bookkeeping becomes a pleasure.
