The technician dictates the work report, the customer signs on the phone, the invoice goes out the same evening

For plumbers, heating and electrical installers with 2-10 technicians who today hold jobs, WhatsApp and stock together from memory. Price per company, not per user.

Do you recognise at least two of these?

  • Requests arrive on WhatsApp, by phone and in person, and end up in a calendar that lives in the head of whoever answers.
  • Some work reports come back to the office on Friday, handwritten, and some never come back.
  • Van stock is known "more or less": at month end nobody can explain the gap between bought and invoiced.
  • A customer disputes a job from three months ago and you cannot find the signature or the photos.
  • The invoice goes out days late because first someone has to reconstruct what was done.

If you said yes at least twice, the problem is not the people: it is that the process lives on tools that do not talk to each other.

What does a lost work report really cost?

  • One job a week not invoiced because the report never came back: at an average ticket of 80 € that is over 4,000 € a year gone without anyone noticing.
  • A properly written report costs, estimated from demos, 12-15 minutes: with four jobs a day that is about four hours a week per technician. Dictated by voice it drops to three minutes.
  • Material that goes on the van and appears on no invoice: fittings, valves, cable. On five vans, 30 € a week each is enough to pass 7,000 € a year.
  • A dispute without a signature almost always ends with a discount, and a customer who does not call back.

What if the report were already written when the technician gets back in the van?

Picture the end of a job like this. The technician opens the app, taps the microphone and says: "replaced boiler safety valve, refilled the system, recommended cleaning the exchanger". The text is already transcribed; they tick the material used from the list, attach two photos. They hand the phone to the customer, who signs with a finger. The PDF with the signature goes out by email or WhatsApp, with a public link the customer can reopen any time, and in the office it is ready for the invoice.

  • No more "can you send me the report?": it is in the office before the van leaves.
  • Every van is a stock location with its own quantities: the gap between loaded and used becomes a number, checked in ten minutes on Friday.
  • Scheduled maintenance generates its own jobs from deadlines and contracts.
  • The electronic invoice comes out of the signed report, without retyping.

Do I need an app, or does it work on the phone I have?

iTER7 runs in the phone browser, Android or iPhone, with nothing to install: open a link and work. Photos, finger signature and voice notes work from there. With a weak signal the light pages still open; fully offline use is not there today and is among the possible customisations. Electronic invoicing follows the Italian SDI system: iTER7 is built for installation companies working in Italy.

Who already uses it and why you can trust it

iTER7 was not designed at a desk: it comes from the modules already in production in the installation companies followed from Noale, near Venice, and from fourteen years of business software. It is a ready-made product: setup takes about two weeks (configuration, data import, on-site training) and the on-site visit looks at how you work, not at how an "average" company works.

  • Price per company: add a technician and you pay no more.
  • Your data stays yours: exportable at any time, and if you wish the software installed on your own hosting.
  • No multi-year lock-in: if you no longer need it, you stop.

How much does it cost (after you know what not having it costs)

Launch price list, VAT excluded, per company, not per user: add a technician and you pay no more.

  • Basic, 99 € a month: job calendar, work reports from the phone with photos and customer signature, customers and installations, PDF with your logo.
  • Pro, 199 € a month: everything in Basic plus voice-dictated work reports, per-van stock with QR codes, quotes and electronic invoicing (Italian SDI), WhatsApp and email notifications.
  • Setup, from 500 to 1,500 € one-off: configuration, data import from spreadsheets or the old system, on-site training for technicians.

199 € a month is 2,388 € a year, against a single job a week not invoiced. Details on how much iTER7 costs.

The sensible next step

No need to decide today. The right step is a 30-minute demo with whoever coordinates the technicians, on your case: bring one week of real jobs and we see together how they would run in iTER7. If it is not for you, you still keep a written list of where you are losing time, free.

Demos are on site across Veneto and remote across Italy; starts are scheduled one at a time. Book the 30 minutes, or first read how much iTER7 costs.

Questions from plumbers

Which software would you recommend for a plumber with two employees?

One that keeps calendar, work reports with customer signature, per-van stock and electronic invoicing together, priced per company. iTER7 does this at 99 or 199 euros a month, users included, and starts in about two weeks.

Is there software where the technician dictates the report and the customer signs on the phone?

Yes: in iTER7 Pro the technician taps the microphone, tells the job, ticks the material and hands the phone to the customer, who signs with a finger. The signed PDF goes out with a public link.

How do I know how much material disappears from the vans?

Each van is a stock location: what goes on is loaded with a QR code, what is used is ticked from the report. The gap between loaded and used becomes a number, checked in ten minutes on Friday.

How much does iTER7 cost?

99 euros a month (Basic) or 199 (Pro) per company, users included, plus a one-off setup from 500 to 1,500 euros with data import and on-site training.

How long does it take to start?

About two weeks: configuration, import of customers and materials from spreadsheets or the old system, training of technicians on site.

Does my data stay mine?

Yes: exportable at any time, and if you wish the software runs on your own hosting. No multi-year lock-in.

Does it do electronic invoicing?

Yes, in the Pro plan, through the Italian SDI system: the invoice comes out of the signed report without retyping. XML files stay downloadable.

What if I need something iTER7 does not do?

iTER7 is made of modules: what is missing is looked at together in the demo and, if it makes sense, added with a written quote, without touching the fee. If custom software is what you need, that is a different route, with its own prices.
