Subcontractors

Subcontractors & partner workshops: share jobs, settle them fairly.

Hand a job over as an encrypted file, use one of three payment models with a live split, close it with dual notification and keep an unbroken audit trail — on both sides, in PDR Kalk.

PDR Kalk – assigning a subcontractor with a live split of the payment

What you get out of it

Hand over or share

The job travels as a file to another PDR Kalk workshop and appears there with their number and letterhead.

Three payment models

AW rate, percentage or fixed price — the split updates live, including the consumables share.

Adjustable per job

On a received report the payment can be changed; the window shows both amounts and the difference.

AES-256 and dual notify

Encrypted transfer; both sides are informed automatically when the job closes.

Duplicate merge

The re-import creates no double entries — not even after several rounds.

Team analytics

Assign technicians per panel, analyse by technician and week, one click to Excel.

How it works

Step 1

Assign the subcontractor

Pick the model and the split — the subcontractor's amount, your amount and the difference appear immediately.

Step 2

The sub works in their own installation

“Received jobs” appear on their dashboard with the agreed payment.

Step 3

Completion and re-import

The sub closes the job and both sides are informed; the finished report comes back as a file and is read in without duplicates.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What workshops most often want to know before they buy.

  • Unlimited users per licence and no cost per technician. Technicians can be assigned per panel. Subcontractors and partner workshops work in their own installation and therefore need their own licence.

  • Yes. Windows devices sync through a shared work folder (NAS, OneDrive, Synology Drive). Android tablets run standalone with the full feature set. Settings → Storage shows when the other devices were last active.

  • Every change is recorded in a SHA-256 hash chain; document versions and PDF snapshots are created automatically on every status change. The audit trail can be exported as JSON and verified. Built to GDPR and revFADP.

  • 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.

  • 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.
