Just say it. Skava does the rest.
The mobile app for trades and construction. You record a voice memo on the construction site — Skava recognises service items, quantities and materials, organises everything into the right project and turns it into tasks and invoices. So two sentences in the morning don't turn into two hours of office work in the evening.

Three things Skava solves.
Not the next project management tool. What's missing between construction site and accounting.
Nobody types with one hand on a power drill.
You speak what happened: "Wall plastered, about twelve square metres, three hours." — done. Skava transcribes, recognises the service item and files it in the right project.
- Works offline on the construction site too.
- Recognises quantities, units and materials automatically.
- Suggests a task or invoice line item right away.
Clear assignments instead of 40 WhatsApp messages.
A voice-recorded service item automatically becomes a task — assigned to the right team member, in the right project context, with status. Without anyone typing up notes in the evening.
- Tasks link back to the original message.
- Who does what by when — visible to the whole team.
- Done tick right there on the construction site.
Invoice in seconds — straight from the chat.
Extracted service items become a finished invoice with one click. With your logo, correct quantities and prices. You don't have to switch between three tools.
- Your own company logo, master data, VAT logic.
- Export as PDF or straight to accounting.
- No double work: everything from what was already in the chat.
"Sunday evening two hours of office work — that was what I hated most about construction trades. With Skava it's just gone."
— Site foreman, civil engineering, from the beta
How it works.
Three steps. Nothing more.

On the construction site, in the car, between appointments. Just speak what happened.
Skava organises
Transcript, service item, quantity, project — all recognised and filed correctly automatically.
Done
Task to colleagues, invoice to customers — everything from the same app, no double work.
