What is the autarc Office Module?
The autarc Office Module is a software platform for complete office management for craft businesses that plan and install heat pumps and photovoltaics. It bundles lead management, quote generation, customer management, and communication in one application. This way, you can digitize your office management from the first call to the completed invoice.

With the autarc Pro app, you have all office and project functions right in your pocket.
Why do HVAC/plumbing businesses spend so much time on office work?
In most craft businesses, calls go through the owner's private mobile phone. Leads are kept in notebooks or Excel spreadsheets. Quotes are calculated in one software, formatted in another, and sent via email. Master data resides in a third system – if digitized at all. Every media break costs time, and every manual transfer introduces errors.
The result: An order, starting from the first customer contact, goes through five to six different tools before it's completed. Office work eats up hours that are then missing for planning and installation.
Why do craft businesses lose so many inquiries?
A craft business with 5 to 20 employees receives dozens of calls daily – many outside office hours or while the owner is on a job site. Without systematic recording, inquiries disappear into unmonitored voicemail boxes. Callbacks are forgotten. Potential orders go to competitors who respond faster.
The problem isn't a lack of demand, but rather poor accessibility and the gap between initial contact and processing.
How does the autarc Office Module work?

The Voice Agent automatically answers calls, captures inquiries and contact information, and transfers them to Lead Management.
