Sheet-metal software for Switzerland
Sheet-metal software for Switzerland prices sheet-metal positions from SIA 451 tenders, plans the sheet-metal crews next to the roofers and bills with the Swiss QR bill. Ruufd is built for firms that do roofing and sheet metal from one hand, from CHF 290 a month.

What Swiss sheet-metal firms need from software.
Sheet-metal positions from your own history
Gutters, downpipes, flashings, cappings: every position you have quoted before gets your price.
SIA 451 tenders
Ruufd reads the architect's .crbx and .01s files and sends them back with your prices. For free-text R positions the assistant proposes a price and names its source.
Sheet metal and roofing on one calendar
The sheet-metal crew arrives when the roof is ready. Both crews sit on the same calendar, with their capacity per day.
QR bills and payment matching
Every partial and final invoice carries the Swiss QR bill. The camt.054 file from your bank closes paid invoices on its own.
One price for the whole firm
Workshop, office and installers work in the same system, with unlimited users.
We move your data over
We load your old quotes and price lists before day one. Ruufd knows your prices from the start.
Why software from Germany often does not fit here.
- German tenders arrive as GAEB files. Swiss tenders follow SIA 451, with NPK positions (the Swiss standard catalogue of construction work).
- German invoices are paid by SEPA transfer. Here every invoice needs the Swiss QR bill with its reference.
- Swiss VAT is 8.1 percent, not 19.
- Swiss trade words such as Offerte (quote), Regie (time and material) and Rapport (daily report) are missing or named differently.

Everything for the job, in one place.
Common questions.
Is there software for roofers and sheet-metal firms together?
Yes. Ruufd is built for building-envelope firms that do both: one quote, one calendar, one invoice per job.
Can I import tenders for sheet-metal work?
Yes. Ruufd reads .crbx and .01s files in the SIA 451 format and prices every NPK position from your earlier quotes.
What does Ruufd cost?
CHF 290 a month for Start and CHF 490 for Pro, billed yearly. Billed monthly, CHF 350 and CHF 590. The price is per firm, with unlimited users. The first 30 days are free, no card needed.
Do I still need accounting software?
Yes. Ruufd does not replace your accounting. On the Pro plan we connect Ruufd to your ERP and accounting through an API.
Where is my data stored?
In Europe, kept separate for each firm.
How much work is the switch?
Little. We move your old quotes and price lists over before day one, so Ruufd knows your prices from the start.
