Custom industry tool for your trade - built from your description, operated for you

For trade businesses, workshops and small landlords: inspection deadlines, acceptance reports, handovers, weekly tasks. You describe how your business works. Melta builds the tool, puts it online and operates it.

Why a custom tool instead of spreadsheets, folders and a standard package

In small businesses the important processes run on spreadsheet, folder and chat, and that works until a record is missing or an invoice is not paid. Large industry software solves this, but it is built for companies with hundreds of employees. A business with 3 to 20 people needs one tool that does one process properly. With Melta you describe that process in plain language: who inspects, who reports, who signs, which document comes out at the end. That becomes a concept, then a custom industry tool for your trade, operated by Melta.

What goes into your custom industry tool

Inspection deadlines, acceptance, handovers or weekly tasks: these building blocks are part of every tool Melta builds for you:

Roles and permissions

Owner, foreman, staff, customer or tenant: each role sees only what it needs. The owner keeps the overview, the qualified person inspects, the staff report.

Mobile on site

The work happens on site, so every product is built and checked for the phone. Scan a QR code, record a defect, run a handover - no laptop needed.

Photos and signatures

The condition is photographed during the inspection or handover, both parties sign on the device. The photos belong to the report, not to a chat history.

PDF documents

Every inspection, acceptance or handover produces a finished PDF with details, photos and signatures - for filing, sending and showing on request.

Reminders

Deadlines no longer pass quietly. The product sends an email before an inspection becomes overdue or a task falls due.

Exports

Your data belongs to you. You export registers, lists and records as a spreadsheet or PDF - for your accountant, an external inspector or a customer.

Four example products from trades and small businesses

Four example products built with Melta. Each solves exactly one process for one trade:

FristenWächter

Inspection deadlines and an equipment register for businesses with 3 to 20 employees. QR code on the equipment, inspection on site, defects reported by phone, complete records, three roles. See the example product FristenWächter

AbnahmeBlitz

Guided acceptance report on the phone for construction and finishing trades. Defects with photos, signatures from both parties, finished PDF. See the example product AbnahmeBlitz

ÜbergabeFix

Guided flat handover for small landlords with 1 to 15 units. Photos, meter readings, digital signatures, PDF report. One-time purchase or annual subscription. See the example product ÜbergabeFix

TeamTakt

Weekly tasks for teams of 2 to 10 people. Due date and owner on every task, comments right on the task, a weekly overview at the centre. See the example product TeamTakt

Acceptance and handover touch on legal questions; what a report is worth in a dispute depends on the country and the individual case. This is general information, not legal advice.

How your custom industry tool for your trade is built

  1. Describe - You explain in your own words how the process runs in your business: roles, what happens on site, which document comes out at the end. No specification document.
  2. Read the concept - Melta asks about audience, features and pricing model and writes a concept in plain language. You change it until it fits.
  3. Confirm - When you confirm, the build starts, paid from the credits of your plan. Then Melta builds the product. A full build can take up to about a day.
  4. Check the preview - A preview with test accounts and demo data: you sign in as the owner and as a staff member, run an inspection and open the PDF.
  5. Go live - You decide when the tool goes online. Preview and live are separate environments; nothing goes live without you.
  6. Keep improving - From then on every change is a chat message: a new field in the report, a different inspection interval. Change runs are included in every plan.

Operated for you: what Melta takes care of

Building a custom industry tool for your trade is one half. The other half is running it, and at Melta that comes with it:

You own what runs.

What it costs

A concept uses only a few credits; afterwards your product runs on a plan per organisation with credits every month. All numbers and how the price is made up are on the pricing page.
