For construction and civil engineering companies
Casenda brings master data, costing, invoicing, stock, documents, bank and reports together in a single database. No separate Excel island next to the accounts, no double entry, no break between building site and office.

The path through your business
Each step builds on the one before. What has been entered once is not typed in again — the item from the item master appears in the quote, the quote becomes the invoice, the invoice appears in the posting batch for your tax adviser.
Step 01
Customers, items and stock in one place. The item master is organised by trade and feeds unit, selling price and stock level straight into the costing.
Step 02
Take items from the master data, enter the quantity, done. The software calculates subtotals, tax and the total — as a cleanly laid-out PDF for the customer.
Step 03
One click takes over the entire transaction. Invoice numbers run in one continuous sequence, and the status follows the document from creation to receipt of payment.
Step 04
Record the supplier invoice, enter the amount and tax rate — the software suggests the expense account. Whoever does the bookkeeping does not need to know the chart of accounts by heart.
Step 05
Import the CSV file from online banking — the software recognises open invoices and suggests the matching. A combined bank transfer can be split across several transactions in one go.
Step 06
The posting batch goes to your tax adviser in DATEV format. For your own overview, Casenda also calculates the advance VAT return, the profit and loss statement, a balance sheet preview and the fixed asset schedule.

Straight-line depreciation by the month, treatment of low-value assets, additions and residual book values.
Roles checked on the server, account lockout after five failed attempts, logging.
Technology and operation
Casenda runs on your own premises or in a data centre of your choice. The application is delivered as a container and is therefore ready for use within a few hours — without your data being stored by third parties and without third-party user licences per workstation.
What changes day to day
Costing, invoicing, stock and accounting all use the same master data. What is in the quote is also in the invoice and in the posting batch — without anyone entering it a second time.
Ten trades, an item master with 3,000 items, quantities in m, m², m³ and tonnes: Casenda is built for construction and civil engineering work, not bent into shape from shop retail software.
Instead of folders and Excel lists, a posting batch in DATEV format goes to your tax adviser. VAT, profit and loss and the balance sheet preview are in front of you in-house at any time.
Next step
In a demo of around one hour, we go from the quote to the posting batch using one of your typical construction projects. Afterwards you know what switching over means for your business — without having to install anything.
