Comparison & selection
The right measurement app covers the measurement types of your trade, connects your measuring device on your platform and passes the data on to where you need it. So four questions decide: how do I measure, with what, where does the data go and who on the team works with it? This page classifies the Aufmaß App by trade and use case.
All tariffs are listed under What the Aufmaß App costs (German).
A comparison only becomes useful when it starts from daily work instead of from a feature list. All nine of these criteria can be checked before you buy.
For context on price: the flat rate is €50/month compared with €149 – 299/month for comparable packages on the market. Which devices run on which platform is described under Connecting a laser measuring device (German).
The table classifies the Aufmaß App by trade and use case: what is measured, which hardware fits, where the data goes and which package is the obvious way in.

Window fitters should look at three points: window-specific measurement forms with several measuring points, reveal and junction, integrations with industry software, and photo documentation that hangs on the job. In older buildings that is exactly what counts, because settlement, plaster layers and earlier window replacements cause deviations of 10 to 30 mm between the measuring points.
That is why the Aufmaß App guides you through width at the top, in the middle and at the bottom as well as height on the left, in the middle and on the right, and records specifics with photos and markings. The positions then go back into the ERP including photos and dimensions through the live integrations with Klaes, FenOffice NG (ProLogic) and Cobus Adulo. Details under Window measurement (German).
In carpentry and joinery no job looks like the previous one. That is why what counts here is the combination of guided measurement types for windows, entrance doors, interior doors, insect screen systems and roller shutter curtains and free measurements with your own values, photos and sketches for everything that does not fit the standard grid.
The second point is getting started: the app needs no training – create the job, choose the measurement, take over the values from the laser, export the PDF. If you work with your own spreadsheet today, you keep it: the Excel export can be built with the same columns using templates. More on this under Aufmaß App for carpenters & joiners (German) and on the special cases at Door measurement (German), Insect screen measurement (German) and Roller shutter measurement (German).
For installation companies the measurement is only the first step. What matters is that installation planning, documentation and handover hang on the same job instead of on lists, chats and spreadsheets. After the handover with signature come the reporting of open work and the confirmation of completion.
The licence model is worth a close look: installers are included without limit and at no extra cost, and the blocks of 20 apply only to survey technicians and office admins. Distributed crews work on the same job in one of 22 languages. A robust set for that is described in the complete package with tablet and outdoor case (German).
In project business it is not the single measurement that decides, but the volume: several hundred positions per job are captured in guided workflows with required fields, logic rules and plausibility checks. Survey technicians, installers and the office work with their own roles on one data set that is kept in sync with Klaes, FenOffice NG (ProLogic), Cobus Adulo, MFR and Odoo through the live integration.
For interiors and floor plans the 2DScanner EVO with 360° rotation is added; it exports to DXF, CSV and TXT. The invoice is still created in the ERP, and the app supplies the checked quantities and evidence. Hosting in the EU, GDPR compliance and 22 languages are usually part of the assessment for distributed teams.
You are best off going through these points on your own job, not on a demo file.
The first 25 measurements run with the full range of features, without a contract and without a credit card – the most honest comparison is your own job.
What matters is whether the measurement types of your trade are covered, whether your measuring device runs on your platform and where the data goes afterwards. The Aufmaß App comes with guided measurement types for windows, entrance doors, interior doors, insect screen systems and roller shutter curtains among others; for everything else you use free measurements with your own values, photos and sketches.
Three points: window-specific measurement forms with several measuring points, reveal and junction, integrations with industry software such as Klaes, FenOffice NG or Cobus Adulo, plus photo documentation on the job. The Aufmaß App captures widths, heights, reveal dimensions and junction details in a structured way and hands the positions over to the ERP including photos and dimensions.
There are guided measurement types for windows, entrance doors, interior doors, insect screen systems (tension frames, hinged frames, roller blinds) and roller shutter curtains among others. For everything else you use free measurements with your own values, photos and sketches. Special heights and widths are asked for specifically and documented.
The professional devices Leica Disto X3, STABILA LD 530 BT, the Reekon devices and the Nedo mEsstronic 2 run on iOS, Android and Windows; on iOS only these devices are an option. Bosch GLM 50-27, M-Cube HOZO as well as Leica and Stabila devices with Bluetooth are supported with limitations on Windows and Android tablets, SOLA Cito on Windows only.
Yes. Window, door, insect screen and roller shutter measurements sit in the same app on the same job. You measure everything in one pass and hand the data over to the office, supplier or ERP all together.
No, and that is the most important difference in a comparison: the Aufmaß App covers measurement, installation planning, installation documentation and handover and passes the checked quantities on to your ERP – quotes, invoices and time recording are created there. Anyone looking for software for the entire order process also needs their ERP; anyone who needs depth in measurement and a clean handover is in the right place here.
The flat rate costs €50/month compared with €149 – 299/month for comparable packages on the market. Included are up to 20 seats for survey technicians and office admins, and installers are included without limit and at no extra cost. Beforehand you test 25 measurements free, without a contract and without a credit card.
