Sound familiar?
Paperwork instead of wood shavings?

As a carpenter, you spend your days on construction sites, from framing to cladding. But when Friday comes, the pile is waiting: timesheets need to be added up, materials need to be booked, and documentation is missing. The result? Weekends spent on admin instead of time with the family.

Features

Everything your carpentry business needs - gathered in your pocket

Kala connects the office with the construction site. The journeymen have the app in their pocket, and you have the overview on the computer.

Time tracking directly from the construction site

Your carpenters register hours with a few clicks from their phone, tablet, or a shared terminal. Whether it's truss construction in Roskilde or kitchen installation in Aalborg. Automatically complies with the new time registration law, so your business is compliant without extra work.

Project management with full overview

See all ongoing construction projects in one dashboard. Plan resources with Gantt view, move tasks with Kanban boards, and keep track of deadlines - whether you're working on new builds, renovations, or extensions. Kala's project management is designed for the way carpenters work.

Material management and barcode scanning

Scan materials with your phone and register consumption directly on the project. Keep track of battens, insulation, brackets and everything else - and see exactly what each project costs in materials. No guesswork at invoicing.

Quality assurance (QA) from the app

Create customized QA checklists for your carpentry work. Take photos of roof structures, formwork and completed deliveries directly in the app. All documentation is automatically collected on the case as well-structured PDF reports with your own logo - ready for handover.

GPS-based mileage and location

Automatic mileage registration when your people drive between construction sites. Save time on keeping a manual mileage log and get the correct deduction without hassle. Kala calculates the correct number of kilometre allowances, whether you are the driver or a passenger.

Integration with your accounting system

Kala connects directly with e-conomic, Dinero, Uniconta and Microsoft Dynamics Business Central. Hours, materials and various supplements flow automatically to your accounting system - no double entry.

Mandatory time registration - is your carpentry business ready?

Since 1 July 2024, all Danish companies including carpentry firms must register employees' working hours. With Kala you comply with the law automatically. The system logs start, end and breaks, and the data is stored securely for 5+ years, as required by law.
