Kraft

Preparing a Quotation

Kraft helps the craftsman or small-business-man to prepare essential documents.

Document Creation for Small Businesses

Feature overview

• Kraft uses a database to store details of your customers, your stock, non-stock item requirements, quotations and orders.

• By means of templates, document creation becomes easy and consistent.

• Free-format invoicing is also possible.

• Since version 0.32 taxation levels are editable to reflect the country's tax laws.

• Repeat orders simplified - use previous orders as the template

• Existing document (e.g. quotation) becomes basis of follow-on documents (e.g. delivery notes and invoice)
