Our take
Managing company administration can be an incredibly time-consuming aspect of business operations, especially in the craftsman market where a well-organised company is crucial behind the skilled tradesman.
Meisterwerk serves as an operating system specifically designed to streamline the operations of craftsman companies. It handles everything from scheduling deliveries to managing holiday and sickness calendars for employees, providing a solution to ensure the smooth functioning of all behind-the-scenes aspects of field service. In an easy-to-use app, Meisterwerk removes the stress of creating employee structures for just about everything. A key factor in the company's mission is for its app to be simple and intuitive.
Meisterwerk is setting itself apart from other operating systems by honing in on the craftsman sector. With another round of funding confirmed it’ll be exciting to see how Meisterwerk further expands especially having scaled so well in its early years.
