What benefits does FOLW bring to my construction project?
Centralized project management with FOLW boosts performance—while reducing daily workload—when dealing with large volumes of data, a high number of subcontractors or service providers, and a multitude of tasks and reports. With FOLW, our clients increase their efficiency by well over 60%. This translates to a daily time saving of approximately two hours.
How does FOLW work?
FOLW is a tool designed for the centralized processing and automated distribution of daily tasks across construction sites and operational properties. You create a pool of subcontractors or service providers. You can automatically dispatch tasks—derived from notes, site walk-throughs, meeting minutes, defect reports, or inspections—directly from the field. Task tracking is handled automatically by FOLW.
How do I add my subcontractors or service providers?
You can easily invite your subcontractors or service providers via email. Setting up the app for a subcontractor is also very simple and completely free of charge. They will immediately see the projects and tickets assigned to them and have the ability to respond instantly regarding both location and content. You can invite an unlimited number of subcontractors to your projects to use the app.
Does the subcontractor have to pay to use the app?
Neither the subcontractor nor you are charged for the invitation.
Using the app without invited subcontractors
Yes, you have the option to manually create and manage your subcontractors or service providers entirely on your own. If you wish, tickets can be sent to them via email or WhatsApp.
Can I use the app without a subscription plan?
You can register and use the app with limited functionality as a "Free User." This allows you to upload one PDF plan and create a maximum of 25 tickets. You may invite an unlimited number of subcontractors to your project free of charge.
How long does the trial period last?
All features (with the exception of AI and sending WhatsApp tickets) are available to you for testing purposes for an unlimited duration. Should you decide to purchase a package during this period, you can continue to use the projects and tickets you have already created.
What is the difference between the subscription packages?
The functionality of all features is identical across all packages. The difference lies in the number of digital plans you can use.
How can I purchase a subscription?
You can select one of the subscription packages directly on our website. You have the option to specify the number of users and then decide whether you wish to sign up for a monthly or annual plan.
Can I switch to a smaller subscription package during the contract term?
If you currently have an active subscription package, you can only switch to a lower-tier package after your current contract term has ended.
Can I reduce the number of users during the contract term?
You can reduce the number of users at the end of your current contract term by selecting a new subscription package.
How does FOLW assist architects with construction documentation?
Imagine being able to send all reports, inspection logs, lists of defects, and other notes directly to your service providers or subcontractors—without any additional effort. The need for post-processing—such as sorting photos or formatting notes—is almost entirely eliminated. You also avoid the tedious task of explaining assignments over the phone. You can automatically distribute all tasks directly on-site, meaning you no longer have to laboriously process and distribute data late in the evening. FOLW streamlines the preparation and distribution of all reports, ensuring that daily tasks are completed right there on the job site.
How does using FOLW impact construction costs?
Our savings calculator demonstrates the potential cost savings for your specific construction project. These projected savings are based on the experiences of our existing clients; however, they do not constitute a guarantee. You can also enter the number of project managers involved in your project and—based on your project's estimated total construction budget—calculate the potential savings specifically regarding project management costs.
How much working time can I save with FOLW?
Our clients save up to 2.0 hours of working time per day. This translates to a total savings of approximately 35 to 40 hours per month. Assuming an average hourly rate of €100, this could result in savings of up to €40,000 per month.
Rating Photos and Tickets
You decide which photos to share with your subcontractors, colleagues, or clients. In the "Snap" section, you can view photos associated with your tickets or share them with the community. Showcase your work and earn "Likes." Give "Likes" to other tickets and receive genuine performance ratings for your subcontractors. Filter your options and continue working with the best. This encourages subcontractors to maintain their high standards and retain their top rankings.
What is the Added Value of FOLW?
FOLW is not merely a tool for the efficient management of your projects and property maintenance; it is also an indispensable assistant for tracking your working hours. You can share photos from your own projects and follow the work of others. Subcontractors become more reliable and strive for greater recognition. Your projects gain prominence—both with your clients and within the community. Benefit from the insights of your colleagues, your clients, and the community, and work alongside the very best.
What Are the Benefits of AI-Powered Defect Detection?
Thanks to artificial intelligence, you can have the AI automatically generate descriptions for your photos. Simply ask specific questions, and the AI will provide answers within seconds, ensuring the quick and efficient creation of tickets. The AI can identify defects, provided you specifically prompt it to do so. FOLW offers you a selection of common questions to choose from.
How Do I Receive an Invoice?
An invoice—including a breakdown of VAT—will be sent to you automatically via email (subject to country-specific regulations).
Billing Adjustments for Additional Users During the Subscription Term
When you add new users to an existing subscription package, the new user packages are initially billed on a prorated basis until the end of the primary user's current billing cycle. Subsequently, all subscription packages will be billed simultaneously on a synchronized schedule.
What Payment Methods Are Available?
You have the option to pay via credit card or PayPal.
