Handwerker Pro
Streamlining Project Management for Construction Professionals
About
HandWerker Pro is a digital tool designed to simplify the day-to-day work of contractors, builders, and craftsmen. The goal was to create an intuitive system that organizes projects, tasks, invoices, reports, and material management into a single, seamless platform. This case study focuses on improving the “Leistungen” (Services) section — a core feature that allows users to define, price, and document their work efficiently.

Problem
Before HandWerker Pro, many contractors relied on spreadsheets, manual notes, or outdated software to manage their projects. This often resulted in: · Complex data entry with inconsistent terminology. · Lack of transparency between tasks, costs, and clients. · Difficulty tracking performance and reporting for stakeholders. · The challenge: design a clear, structured interface that aligns with the way construction professionals think and work.
Solution
To address these challenges, we began by conducting in-depth discovery sessions with real users from the field—electricians, plumbers, handymen, and project coordinators. We focused on identifying their pain points in daily operations and project management. Based on these insights, we crafted a UX and UI system designed specifically for the trades. The platform includes features like: · Centralized project tracking · Automated quoting and invoicing · Real-time team communication · Easy file and photo sharing from job sites · Calendar and schedule management We designed the system to integrate with tools users already rely on, ensuring adoption felt intuitive rather than disruptive. Throughout the process, AI-powered assistance was embedded to reduce manual tasks and provide smart suggestions for scheduling, quoting, and follow-ups.
Impact
HandwerkerPro has significantly improved operational efficiency for trades professionals. By simplifying and centralizing project management tasks, users have been able to reduce time spent on administrative work, improve client communication, and increase project turnaround. The platform’s tailored UX and smart automation have enabled teams to stay better organized, respond to client needs faster, and collaborate more effectively—whether they’re in the office or on-site. What used to be chaotic and time-consuming has become streamlined, freeing up time for what matters most: delivering quality work and growing the business.
