Detailed Review
DELKARO HANDWERK is German browser-based software for small trade businesses. Its OFFICE module links customers, contacts and sites to jobs, so that a first enquiry becomes a customer file and a quote becomes an order.
From there the vendor describes planning of staff, dates and materials, time tracking and invoicing, with an assistant called ASSIST that points to due tasks and open decisions. A native Android app covers the site overview, hours, photos, messages and service reports. It is an office suite for crews, not a dispatch platform.
The provider is Daniel Sloman, a sole trader in Reinbek trading as DEL KARO, according to the imprint, the terms and the privacy policy.
The privacy policy states that the website and its runtime data run at Hetzner Online GmbH on systems in Germany, and the vendor says customer data stays in EU or EEA data centres. It also says AI features may transfer data to the USA, so this is not a claim of exclusive EU processing. The terms add that AI features are not generally included in the packages. No security certification is published.
Pricing is on the vendor's own page: EUR 19.95 per regular seat and month, EUR 9.95 per apprentice seat, with a minimum of EUR 29.95 per business, after a 14-day free trial and cancellable monthly.
A pilot programme with 60 free days is available on application. Online ordering is limited to German billing addresses and business use. Compared with HERO Software and ToolTime, DELKARO is cheaper per seat but much younger and run by one person. Praxedo or mfr suit organisations that need SLAs, equipment records and certified hosting.
