Holzwerk — the joinery software for workshop, teams and installation
One system for the whole joinery business. The dispatch board plans workshop and installation days per team, replanning mode absorbs delivery delays, and from measuring to installation through the signed handover, everything runs as one chain that ends with the invoice.

No more paper notes, magnet boards and Excel
Joinery runs on two tracks: production at the workbench, installation at the customer. Woe betide if the fittings do not arrive — the magnet board gets reshuffled, phones ring, everyone improvises. Holzwerk maps that routine as it actually happens: dispatching across both worlds, project files for furniture jobs, measurement history, time tracking, machines and invoicing in one system, from measuring to handover.
“Workshop and installation in one plan — and the delivery delay no longer costs a day.”
A working day with Holzwerk
From the first coffee to closing time — this is what daily work feels like.
-
06:45
A look at the dispatch board
The fittings delivery is running late. The installation at the Meier family moves to Friday via replanning mode, and the team gets a workshop day instead — no idle time, no phone marathon.
-
07:10
The teams grab their iPad
“My tour today” shows each team its properties, with the delivery note from the customer file (“3rd floor, no lift, pack the furniture dolly”) and the packing list: clamps, panel lifter, fittings case.
-
09:30
On site
Tick off the checklist: set & connect carcasses, adjust fronts, plinths & panels. Before/after photos go into the file, and the missing handle lands at the office as rework with a reason.
-
14:00
Handover
The customer signs right on the iPad, and the final invoice from the project file offsets the deposit automatically. Done and paid.
-
15:30
Measuring next door
The office scheduled the measuring appointment just around the corner. Photos, dimensions and customer wishes get noted right on the appointment, so everything is findable in the history once the quote is due.
-
16:30
End of the day
Clock out. The hours book straight to the project, and the daily wrap-up shows the office what got done, which photos came in and what is up tomorrow.

Joinery software that reflects the real workday
Few trades juggle two worlds the way joinery does: production at the workbench, installation at the customer, with measurements, deposits and suppliers wedged in between. Holzwerk was built for that routine specifically — software for joineries and cabinetmakers that works as well in the workshop as it does on site.
Workshop and installation in one plan
The dispatch board plans both worlds: workshop days and installation days per team, swapped via drag & drop. If the fittings do not arrive, replanning mode moves every installation of the day in one go, and the team keeps working at the bench instead of idling. Installation planning in a joinery no longer needs a magnet board or a phone marathon. Delivery surprises are gone too: parking, floor and lift sit in the customer file and travel into the tour automatically, so the team knows before setting off whether the wardrobe has to go up the stairwell.
From measuring to handover, one chain
The measuring appointment collects photos, dimensions and customer wishes right at the customer, all of it findable later in the history when the quote is due. Installation comes via template with a ready checklist, tool list and invoice positions, and at handover the customer signs on the iPad while the invoice generates straight from the appointment. Furniture projects with deposits run through the project file: instalments get numbered automatically, the final invoice offsets the deposit by itself, and actual hours run against the budget the whole time.
Service revenue and machines in view
Between the big jobs, window service provides revenue you can actually plan for: recurring appointments for service customers, adjusting fittings, checking seals, run by themselves. Expensive tools stay dispatched too — the availability warning flags it when the panel saw gets scheduled on two installations at once, and a dashboard widget shows which tool is out where today. Compliant invoicing, XRechnung for commercial projects and DATEV export are built in.
Who is Holzwerk made for?
For joineries and cabinetmakers with one or several installation teams: built-in furniture, interior doors, parquet, kitchen installation and window service, and really for any business juggling workshop and installation. Whether you have 3 employees or 30, Holzwerk never charges per user; the whole team is included in the package price. To get started we recommend the Basis package from €49.90 per month, though most companies end up on Pro at €94.90, which adds invoicing with XRechnung, projects and the route planner.
Frequently asked questions
What does Holzwerk cost?
Holzwerk comes as a subscription in three packages, hosting, updates and support always included: Basis at €49.90 per month (up to 5 employees), Pro at €94.90 (up to 15 employees, our most popular package) and Premium at €169.90 (unlimited employees, every add-on module included). Prices apply with annual billing, plus VAT; billed monthly it is €59.90, €114.90 or €199.90. For Basis and Pro you can add the customer portal (+€19.90), the Agentur package (+€39.90) and the Einsatz package (+€29.90 per month) individually; Premium has it all. Project files and invoicing are included from the Pro package, and you never pay per user.
Can I plan workshop and installation separately?
The dispatch board plans freely per team and day: workshop days for production, installation days on site, swapped via drag & drop. Replanning mode turns an installation day into a workshop day in two clicks: every installation of the day moves at once, and the team keeps working inside.
Can I map deposits and final invoices?
Through the project file. Instalments are numbered automatically, the deposit counts as the first one, and the final invoice offsets everything issued so far by itself: cleanly itemised, compliant, no pocket calculator needed.
Does the system help me with measuring?
It does. The measuring appointment collects photos, dimensions and customer wishes right at the customer, all of it noted on the appointment and findable later in the customer history. Nothing left to hunt down once the quote is due.
Can I see whether a job is within budget?
Yes, live. The teams clock onto the job and actual hours run automatically against the hour budget. The project file shows at any time where the job stands, recalculating on the side.
Does Holzwerk warn me about double-booked machines?
When you create an appointment, Holzwerk checks whether the panel saw or dust extraction is already scheduled on another installation that day and warns immediately. It is a warning, not a block, so you decide. The dashboard widget also shows which tool is out where today.
Can I write invoices with Holzwerk?
Invoicing is a core feature, not a paid add-on. Invoices get created straight from the completed appointment, right after the customer signature at handover if you wish, with positions prefilled from the service template. Invoice numbers stay compliant and gap-free, and the number range is freely configurable, so existing businesses continue seamlessly from their last number. You also get a PDF with your own letterhead, open items, and payment reminders and dunning with one click. Prefer to work without the invoicing module? Just hide it.
Does Holzwerk support XRechnung?
Invoices can be exported as officially validated XRechnung e-invoices, which matters especially for commercial projects with property managers and public-sector clients. Dispatch goes straight from the system by email, via your own SMTP server or SendGrid.
Does my tax adviser get the data?
Yes, with one click. The DATEV export produces the posting batch plus all document PDFs for the chosen period, ready to hand over to the firm.
What do I need to use Holzwerk?
Just a browser. Holzwerk runs as your own instance with its own database on German servers, and hosting, updates and support are part of every package. We handle setup and data migration, then you get your login and start working. Prefer to run the software on your own server, or buy it outright? Custom solutions are available on request.
Can I test Holzwerk beforehand?
The live demo is open to everyone: a complete installation with a sample company, two installation teams, 14 tools, priced templates and a running furniture project with an instalment invoice already issued. Tap “Als Chef testen” (test as boss) on the login page and you are in. It resets itself every 30 minutes. Want to compare several trades? The demo hub at demos.pixagentur.com shows all live demos at a glance.
Does it work on the iPad and without reception?
Yes. Holzwerk is a web app (PWA) with an app icon on the home screen. The time clock and daily tour work even without reception and sync as soon as the network returns.
Does the software run under my company name?
White-label is included. Login, app name and business details all carry your company, and your invoices appear on your own letterhead.
What about data protection?
Your customer and employee data lives in your own instance with its own database on German servers, GDPR-compliant and strictly separated from other companies. Roles and permissions control who sees what, an audit log documents changes, and uploaded photos get automatically stripped of GPS data.
Can Holzwerk be adapted or extended for my company?
Yes. Modules can be switched off individually, and beyond that, from extra fields to entire extensions such as quoting or a customer portal, we build additions on request at a fixed price. The fastest route is our ticket system: describe what you need and we reply with a fixed-price quote.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. You only pay the package price: no per-user licences, no setup fee, no extra charges for updates or support. Setup and data migration from your current solution are included too. The only addition is statutory VAT, and you can cancel monthly.
