Five price matrices
VFFS, Zurich mixed hail, the German AW list with removal/refitting, the Austrian matrix and the Belgium UPEX List (UPEX 2015).
Hail estimating
Estimate hail damage — with your country's price matrix.
VFFS, Zurich mixed hail, the German AW list with removal/refitting, Austria and the Belgium UPEX List — calculated live across 14 panels, with photos, parts and outsourced work. From the report to the invoice in one program.
What you get out of it
Live calculation across 14 panels
Enter dents per size band and the total updates immediately — including surcharges and discount.
Parts, outsourced work, additional costs
Damaged parts with prices, bought-in work and additional costs sit directly in the report.
Fixed price or AW, in every country
Fixed-price mode works independently of the tariff table — for parking damage too.
Photos without a cable
Up to 30 photos from a phone by QR code; EXIF and GPS data are stripped.
Straight on to the invoice
Report, customer approval, insurer and invoice all build on the same estimate.
How it works
Step 1
Record the vehicle, check the tariff
Country and price matrix are preset; vehicle data comes from a scan or from your keyboard.
Step 2
Enter dents per panel
The total updates live. Parts, outsourced work and removal/refitting are recorded in the same window.
Step 3
Report, approval, invoice
Estimate and report as a PDF, signature on the device, then the invoice.
Every feature in this area
- Hail document import — read dent protocols and SilverDAT calculations from a PDF instead of typing them — with a review screen before anything is applied.
- Fixed price / manual in every country — independent of the tariff table, with parts, outsourced work and additional costs.
- Money cards in the German AW list and the Belgian table — record damaged parts, outsourced work and additional costs there too; existing reports keep their figures.
- Removal/refitting as a priced list — individual items per report, with AW, an amount or as a fixed price, shown clearly on the work report.
- Additional costs card — test drive, cleaning and disposal as their own block, shown on the report and the invoice.
- Removal/refitting required — record which parts the customer removes and refits — 17 common parts as a quick pick, one-off parts typed freely.
- Your own removal/refitting rate — stored in the settings and overridable per customer in the address book.
- Outsourced work — record bought-in paint, panel, mechanical or wrapping work with a price — its own line on the report and the estimate.
- Damaged parts with prices — give every damaged part a price if you want to; the customer discount does not apply to parts by default.
- Part selection L/R with a note — mark left and right per panel and attach a note.
- Photo compression in 3 levels — choose the quality per job; EXIF data including GPS is removed.
- Technician allocation per panel — when several technicians work on the same car, the work report shows the real split (CH and AT tariffs).

PDF invoices with your logo, the Swiss QR invoice, ZUGFeRD/Factur-X (PDF/A-3, EN 16931), credit notes, split invoices, cancellation invoices with a replacement and manual invoices without a report. Payments can be recorded including part payments; for accounting there is DATEV CSV, a VAT export and open receivables as Excel.
Yes, since version 4.26.63, for Switzerland first (CH region with the Swiss tariff; switch it on under Settings → Hail). PDR Kalk reads existing PDFs that have a text layer — not scans or photos — shows a review screen and, once you approve, applies panels, dents, parts, removal/refitting and additional costs. All locally. It is not an interface to SilverDAT; it reads a PDF you already have.
30 days with the full feature set, a direct download with no sign-up and no credit card. The trial ends by itself. On first start there is a one-off online activation (technical data only, see the privacy policy); after that the app works offline. One trial per device.
It is a perpetual licence: paid once, with no expiry date and no monthly fees. The “about CHF 9 per month” figure is only an illustration spread over five years — nothing falls due afterwards.
