The background: Why an app?

In the age of smartphones and tablets, mobility is a decisive factor. They are all on the road every day, working on construction sites, meeting with customers or working in the field. For them, the question is: How can I work efficiently and flexibly without sacrificing important information or tools? The answer: Our AUTARC app!

Access anytime, anywhere

Whether on the construction site, at the customer's site or on the go — with the app, you always have all relevant information at hand. Imagine yourself standing in a cellar as an installer and recording all the technical data for a heat pump installation. Or as an energy consultant, you need to quickly check information during a customer conversation. With the AUTARC app, you have instant access to all the data you need in such moments — directly from your tablet. There is no annoying search, no unnecessary paperwork. Everything you need is literally available in the palm of your hand.

Optimized user interface

Apps are designed for mobile devices and therefore offer user-friendly operation. Web browsers (Explorer, Firefox or Chrome, etc.) often work with one size fits all applications and must make design compromises. For example, it can happen that a website loads forever when opened on a mobile device or is not displayed correctly. Apps, on the other hand, are specifically designed for mobile devices. This means that the AUTARC app's user interface is tailored precisely to the needs of craftsmen and professionals. Large, easy-to-understand icons and texts, intuitive menu navigation and quick response times make operation significantly easier.

Faster process

Direct data entry without detours via laptop or browser speeds up work processes. Anyone who's ever tried to navigate a complex website on a tablet knows how tedious it can be. Zooming, scrolling, clicking on wrong links — all this costs valuable time. The AUTARC app is not just a simple transfer of the previous system to a mobile version, but also a well-thought-out adaptation to the needs and challenges of mobile working. Users are guided step by step through the entire process, from data collection to calculation and application for funding. The familiar structure and clear instructions ensure that errors are avoided and that the entire process takes place efficiently and without unnecessary interruptions.

The functions: What can the autarc app?

The AUTARC app offers several outstanding features that revolutionize the entire process from project planning to installation:

‍

3D scan with artificial intelligence

At the heart of our iPad app is the revolutionary 3D scan function. With this function, experts and laypeople alike can digitize the premises in detail and in accordance with standards. What used to be time-consuming to document with a folding rule and pen is now recorded in a digital model in just a few minutes. This model can be analyzed, discussed and used for further planning directly on site. A huge advantage when it comes to visually bringing the possibilities and benefits of a heat pump installation closer to the customer.

With 3D scanning, you can save up to 75 minutes when recording room-by-room building data. For you, this means that hydraulic balancing For a 175m2 single-family house, just 10 minutes done!

Heat load, heating surfaces and hydraulic balancing in accordance with method B (in accordance with standards)

The right data is part of the basics of every heat pump project planning. Room by room, experts or even laymen can record the heating load, the heating surfaces and the hydraulic balance in accordance with standards. Collecting, calculating and transferring this data manually, which used to take hours, is now easier. The important core data is calculated in real time and can be discussed on site. This also helps when pre-selecting a suitable heat pump together with the customer.

Easy data acquisition

The mobile app significantly optimizes the data entry process, which is invaluable, especially on site. Anyone who works in the field knows how valuable it is to be able to enter data directly on site without much effort. The autarc app is designed for exactly this purpose. Instead of having to deal with paperwork or cumbersome laptops, the app enables seamless and precise data collection. The user-friendly interface ensures that even less tech-savvy users can easily work with the app.

Comprehensive documentation

All legally required calculations in just one step and the corresponding legal documentation as proof. Correct and comprehensive documentation is essential, particularly in a regulated area such as heating technology. The autarc app combines calculation processes and documentation processes. After all data has been collected and the calculations have been carried out, all required documents and evidence can be created in a report in the app. This is particularly relevant for funding opportunities.

Check eligibility

In just a few minutes, it is possible to check whether a project is eligible for funding under BAFA's Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings (BEG). Funding is a decisive factor for many projects. However, checking eligibility can often be a lengthy and complicated process. Thanks to an integrated database and an intelligent query system, it is possible to determine within minutes whether a project is eligible for funding under BAFA's Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings (BEG). This not only saves time, but also nerves and helps professionals to advise their customers faster and better.

Direct application for funding

No long waiting times, no big detours. The necessary funds can be applied for directly from the app. As soon as the eligibility of a project has been determined, the next step can be taken immediately: applying for funding. With autarc, this can be easily ordered via the app. This significantly speeds up the process and eliminates the risk of errors or omissions that could occur when submitting a manual application.

Immediate preparation of offers

No need to go back to the office or use separate software. Right during the customer visit, our iPad app allows relevant data to be recorded and a tailor-made offer for a heat pump to be prepared immediately. This direct and professional approach significantly increases the chances that the customer will decide to buy from you. With Autarc, you have all the tools you need right at your fingertips to make the sales process more efficient, convincing and customer-friendly. This maximizes your chances of success and reduces the time from enquiry to sale.
