Business Software · Hosted in Europe

Processes, customers and figures
in one system.

EFSTAQ brings quality and process management, CRM, invoicing and communication together on one shared data model — instead of five separate systems that nobody keeps in sync.

Five systems that never talk to each other

The CRM system does not have access to invoice data. The process manual is available as a PDF document on the network. Training materials are provided in the form of an Excel spreadsheet. Each interface requires manual data entry, which introduces potential errors during subsequent audits.

Double data entry

The same customer is managed within the CRM, invoicing system, and project list functionalities, resulting in three separate records.

Processes with no proof

The process is documented, but there is no evidence to demonstrate that it was actually executed as described. During an audit, the proof of execution is more important than the documentation itself.

Knowledge tied to individuals

We understand that the process is not yet fully defined. Currently, only one individual is responsible for managing this, and they are currently on vacation.

The modules

Each module functions independently. The benefits arise from their ability to share the same master data: a business partner, a role, and a process.

Core Module

Quality and Process Management

Processes are not described; they are executed: through process cells with defined inputs and outputs, responsibilities according to RASCI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed), and a complete run log. Each execution generates its own record.

  • Graphical Process Builder and Process Map
  • Approvals, reviews, and reminders are managed within the system.
  • Skills Matrix with Gap Analysis per Role
  • FMEA, key figures and a standards guide
Sales

CRM & sales management

Unified business partner management: Instead of separate lists for customers, suppliers, and prospects, EFSTAQ provides a single platform with the ability to assign multiple roles to each party. This ensures a consistent history across all modules.

  • Deal-Pipeline as a Kanban board with phases and values
  • From lead capture to conversion into a customer.
  • Timeline per Party: Contacts, Transactions, Documents
  • Role-based and relationship-based model instead of a card index.
Commercial

Invoicing & e-invoicing

Issuing invoices, managing outstanding payments, and electronic invoice sending are all handled within the same system where your customer and project information are already stored. This ensures compliance with B2B e-invoice regulations.

  • Invoice generation from order and product catalog
  • Management of open invoices with payment reconciliation.
  • Electronic invoice delivery in a structured format.
  • Reports based on the documents already in the system
Communication

Dedicated webinar and meeting platform

Training courses, customer meetings and internal discussions within your own branded platform – without relying on third-party providers, and ensuring that your participant data remains within your organization.

  • Device check before starting, virtual backgrounds
  • Host and co-host roles, screen sharing
  • Live subtitles and translation for international sessions
  • Automatic recording of every session
Mobile

Mobile application for your team

The Connect app provides access to spaces, groups and notifications on your mobile device – for users who do not spend their entire workday at a computer.

  • Video rooms and groups straight from the app
  • Push notifications for appointments and cases
  • Encrypted transmission, same permissions as on the web
  • For iOS and Android

After the session: follow-up on autopilot

From each recording, the platform generates the assets that would otherwise be created manually – transcript, summary, cut, publication. → This streamlines your workflow and reduces manual effort.

More modules in the system

These modules are available and operational, but will be configured specifically for each project. We will demonstrate their functionality through a practical case study during the demo, rather than presenting them as a feature list.

Ticketing & service desk

Capture, assign, and track inquiries → with a history associated with each business partner.

Projects & Orders

Project overview and order management based on a single set of master data.

People & skills

Employee roster, qualifications, and skill gaps per role.

Materials management

Inventory management, item tracking, and availability checks for manufacturing companies.

Why this does more together than separately

The key difference lies not within the individual modules, but rather beneath them: all modules operate on the same master data. → This ensures consistency and avoids duplication of information across different applications.

One party, many roles

The same company can function as a customer, supplier, and training participant – without requiring separate entries or creating conflicting addresses.

One process, one record

What is defined within the Process Builder will be executed and logged. The audit record will be generated as a byproduct, not as a separate project. → This ensures that all relevant data for auditing purposes is automatically captured during process execution.

One set of permissions

User roles are consistent across all modules. Users who have restricted access within the CRM will also have limited access to invoices.

Sovereignty, honestly put

We prefer to clearly describe what you will receive, rather than using terms that may not be accurate in practice.

Hosted in the EU

Operation within a German data center. No data transfer to third countries for standard operations.

Tenant separation through permissions

EFSTAQ is a jointly operated platform with strict separation based on organization and roles – designed this way to avoid the impression of an isolated, standalone solution. We believe this approach offers greater transparency compared to offering a completely independent system.

Data export at any time

Your master data, documents and process records can be exported at any time in an open format. This ensures you are not locked into a specific data format.

Encrypted transmission

Continuous transport encryption is implemented. Accesses are logged. We will discuss specific encryption levels in detail during the project phase, rather than providing general recommendations.

What we are working on

To enable you to plan effectively, based on confirmed information and anticipated needs.

  • End-to-end encryption for confidential direct messages.
  • Process templates shared across organisations
  • Enhanced automation within process workflows.
The following items are under development and are not included in the current scope of work. We include them here to ensure that no one assumes they are part of the project.

How a project starts

1

A conversation

We will review your current processes → focusing on specific examples, without presentations.

2

A demo of your own process

You can observe a realistic representation of your own business processes within the system, not a hypothetical example.

3

Pilot

A defined area will be implemented, with clear criteria for success.

4

Expansion

Additional modules will be added based on the results of the pilot program, not before.

Frequently asked questions

Is it necessary to implement all modules simultaneously?

No. The standard approach is to begin with a clearly defined pilot project – typically focusing on process management or CRM – and then expand functionality subsequently. Because all modules utilize the same core data, this phased implementation avoids any migration gaps.

Where is our data stored?

EFSTAQ is hosted within a German data center. The platform operates as a shared system with strict separation based on organizations and user roles. You can export your data at any time in an open format.

Does this solution comply with electronic invoicing regulations?

The accounting module generates and sends outgoing invoices in a structured electronic format. We will clarify whether your specific invoicing process is fully covered by this functionality during the project, based on the types of documents used. We are deliberately avoiding providing a general answer at this stage.

Can we map our own processes, or only use templates?

Custom Processes. The Process Builder is specifically designed for this purpose: Your workflows are represented as executable process cells, with your defined roles and approvals. Templates are available as a starting point, not as mandatory requirements.

What does it cost?

The price depends on the scope of modules and the number of users. Given that implementation is project-specific, we do not provide fixed prices that would likely be inaccurate. You will receive a specific quotation after an initial consultation.

What does this have to do with TradesScanner?

The same technology serves two distinct target groups. The platform originated in the trading environment and is used daily for webinar hosting, app functionality, and process management under heavy load. EFSTAQ represents the brand under which we offer this solution to businesses.
