Job management software for building services contractors in Finland

Your fitters work in one language, your client reads the invoice in another, and the tax reporting has to be right in Finnish either way. The software should handle all three without anyone guessing what a button means.

What Evelia does

Evelia brings a contractor's working day into one place. Work orders reach the fitter on a phone, hours and materials are logged on site, and the invoice is built from those same entries without anyone typing them in a second time.

On the office side there are quotes and estimating, purchase invoices with lines allocated to the right job, sales and purchase ledgers, and contract margin that updates while the work is still running rather than after it has finished.

Wholesaler price lists and product data update into the system, so estimates are calculated at current prices. For electrical and HVAC work there are ready-made package registers that make estimating considerably faster.

Accounting data is generated from the same entries. Evelia produces material for nine of the most common Finnish accounting systems, and time entries can be transferred to payroll.

Three things built for Finnish requirements

Reverse charge VAT in construction. When reverse charge applies, the seller adds no VAT and the invoice needs the correct note on the buyer's liability. This is handled in the invoice itself rather than checked by hand.

Construction reporting to the Tax Administration. The data for contract and employee reports comes from the same hour entries and site records that are collected anyway.

Finnish wholesaler integrations and package registers. The system is built around the Finnish supply chain rather than adapted to it afterwards from another market.

Working in more than one language

Plenty of contracting companies in Finland run on two or three languages. Fitters speak one, the client reads documents in another, and a housing company board may need a third.

In practice this matters in three places. How the software is used on site, which language documents and invoices go out in, and which language you get help in when something stops working.

We serve our customers in Finnish, Swedish and English. That covers both sales and support, so you are not switching languages halfway through a problem.

If you are unsure how the language versions of the software work in your particular setup, ask us before you decide. It is a fair question and we will answer it directly.

If your company operates in the UK

This page is about Evelia in Finland, where the tax reporting, wholesaler integrations and contract practices are Finnish.

We also run a separate site for the UK market at evelia.co.uk. If your work is in the UK rather than Finland, start there instead. The software is the same, but the surrounding requirements are not.

Getting started

Start a free trial or get in touch and we will go through what you need. We look at how you work today and where the time goes, then propose a setup based on that.

You can also look at the pricing beforehand. If you are comparing several vendors, we put together five questions worth asking every supplier, ourselves included.

Who this is for

HVAC, electrical, refrigeration, construction and groundworks companies operating in Finland, with fitters in the field and a working day where information currently travels on paper notes, messages and spreadsheets.

If you are a sole trader sending a handful of invoices a month, a simple invoicing tool will serve you well for a long time. In that case the money is better spent on tools than on a system.
