Answers to the key questions.

No. You create projects, quotes and invoices without having to learn anything first. No implementation project, no configuration phase, no consultant hours.

Yes. Customers and projects can be synchronised with ERPNext and Odoo in both directions. From clockodo, Honodo imports customers, projects and time entries. Your software is missing? Write to us – we will advise you and look into implementing it.

Directly from within Honodo. You can see the status of your request at any time. We also welcome ideas and requests for new integrations and look into implementing them.

No. There is one path in three steps – from project to quote to invoice. No hundred menu items. You set up your letterhead, texts and number formats once; after that everything is pre-filled.

Yes. Numbers, customer, texts and amounts are pre-filled – based on your settings and the previous document. Every value remains editable until you finalise the document. After that it stays unchanged and traceable.

Yes. Honodo sends from your own email account – including several documents and further attachments in one email, optionally together with finalising. Or you download the PDF.

Yes. With your own roles you define per area who can view, create, edit, delete, cancel or send reminders for customers, projects, quotes and invoices – down to individual projects if needed.

Yes. You set discounts and ancillary costs as a percentage or an amount, with and without HOAI. Invoices can contain several tax rates and show an early-payment discount.

Immediately. Honodo runs in the browser; there is nothing to install. After registering you create your first project right away – the first 14 days are free.

No. The 14 trial days require neither a paid subscription nor payment details. If your promotional code grants free months, these replace the 14 trial days – likewise without a subscription and without payment details. The free period ends automatically; without a subscription your data remains readable afterwards. If you want to keep working, you take out a paid subscription under “Settings → My plan” and grant the SEPA direct debit mandate. The contract term only starts after the free period, or on the day you subscribe if that is later. Percentage discounts, by contrast, apply within a concluded subscription; months with a 100 % discount also count towards the contract term.

That depends on the firm. The biggest effect is where work is duplicated today: project data appears automatically in the quote, quote values in the invoice, the HOAI calculation in the fee proposal – each without retyping and without cross-checking.

All service profiles from Parts 2 to 4 of the HOAI 2021: land-use planning, buildings and interiors, open spaces, engineering structures, traffic facilities, structural design and technical equipment – with fee zones, fee tables and work stages. The shares per work stage can be adjusted. The advisory services from Annex 1 (building physics, geotechnics, engineering surveying, environmental impact study) are only partly covered: the fee tables are included, the breakdown by work stage is not.

Yes. You create an ongoing project with its current status and continue from there – you do not have to wait for the next project. There is no automated bulk import from legacy systems; for larger datasets, please contact us.

No. In addition to HOAI fee proposals, you create quotes with freely defined items – for example by time spent or as a lump sum. Invoices, interim invoices and final invoices are pre-filled from the quote and remain editable until you finalise them; the final invoice automatically deducts interim invoices already issued. The path from quote to invoice works with and without HOAI.

Yes. All quotes, fee proposals, interim invoices and final invoices are available as PDFs at any time and can be saved locally.

Yes. Finalised invoices produce electronic invoices according to EN 16931 – as XRechnung (XML) and as ZUGFeRD/Factur-X (PDF/A-3 with embedded XML). Without external services.

In Germany: the platform and database run on our own server at Hetzner Online GmbH in the Falkenstein data centre. We do not use any other hosting or database providers, and we do not transfer any data to countries outside the EU.

The website and platform can only be reached encrypted via HTTPS. Each firm sees only its own data, you assign permissions through your own roles down to individual projects, and sign-in can be secured with a second factor. Details are on the “Security” page and in the privacy policy.

From €39 net per month for one user on the annual contract, or from €49 on the monthly cancellable plan.

The first 14 days are free.

You choose: the annual contract runs for 12 months and renews for 12 months at a time, with 4 weeks’ notice to the end of the term. The flexible option runs for one month, with 2 weeks’ notice. Every billed month can be used in full; details are set out in the terms and conditions.
