Motorica suits tilers who want quotes, outgoing invoices, payment status and business documents connected in one clear office workflow. Motorica does not replace specialist trade planning or inventory management software.
Success in the tiling trade depends not only on the work on site; the office also has to run smoothly. Quotes need traceable calculations, measurements and photos must not get lost, materials and additional work must match the job, and progress and final invoices require clear records. Motorica brings quotes, invoices, receipts, scheduling, payments, documents and MIRA together in one interface, creating a clearer workflow from first contact to paid invoice.
Tiling is project-based work where details matter: bathrooms, kitchens, floors, walls, stairs, terraces, balconies, large-format tiles, natural stone, waterproofing, substrate preparation and neat junctions. Every job involves customer details, a site address, measurements, photos, materials, dates, employees, a quote, an invoice and payment. Spreading this information across paper, messaging apps, email and separate folders creates unnecessary rework.
A sound quote for tiling work starts not with the price per square metre, but with careful preparation. The site address, rooms, wall and floor areas, substrate, materials, tile format, laying pattern, waterproofing, preparatory work, skirting tiles, silicone joints, edge profiles, disposal and clear terms all matter. Motorica helps you record this information systematically and reuse it later for the job and invoice.
Accurate measurements are crucial in tiling. Wall and floor areas, room dimensions, openings, skirting tiles, recesses, falls, cuts and special details must remain traceable. If quantities exist only on paper or in chat messages, later billing becomes difficult. Motorica helps connect measurements, documents and notes with the right customer, site and job.
The substrate, waterproofing and materials are critical in tiling work. Moisture, cracks, old coverings, uneven surfaces, falls, waterproofing areas, tile format, adhesive, grout and profiles can significantly affect the work and price. These points should not be agreed only verbally; they belong in the quote, documentation and subsequent invoice.
Important information arises on site: before photos, substrate condition, waterproofing work, material changes, additional work, delays, agreements with the site manager or customer, and completion records. It should not disappear on a private phone or in group chats. Better records make variations, invoices and later queries easier to handle.
Tiling projects often depend on other trades. The substrate, screed, plumbing, electrical work, waterproofing, drying times, material deliveries and customer appointments all need to align. Planning only from memory, on paper or in group chats makes the workflow unreliable. Motorica helps organise assignments, tasks and outstanding points more systematically.
Tiling businesses incur many operating expenses: tiles, natural stone, adhesive, grout, waterproofing, profiles, silicone, levelling systems, tools, machinery, vehicles, workwear, disposal and subcontracted services. These documents must later fit the accounts, the tax adviser’s records and, where possible, the relevant job. Motorica helps keep supplier invoices, receipts and material records organised.
Tiling work often involves variations: the substrate needs preparation, old tiles must be removed, waterproofing becomes more extensive, cuts take longer, the customer chooses a different material, or skirting tiles, profiles and silicone joints are added. Such changes should not be left to informal verbal agreements. They need traceable records so the quote, variation, invoice and payment remain consistent.
For larger tiling jobs, bathroom renovations, commercial properties or construction projects, progress payments and final invoices are often important. Materials are purchased, work is completed in stages and progress must remain traceable. Motorica helps create invoices systematically and track payments. The legal treatment of progress payments, acceptance, variations, VOB/B or construction contracts should be reviewed by a qualified professional in each case.
For construction and finishing work, the recipient may become liable for VAT under § 13b UStG. This does not apply to every job or customer. Particularly when supplying construction services to another construction contractor, you should check before invoicing whether VAT must be shown or Reverse Charge applies. Motorica can help organise notes and invoice data. Confirm the tax treatment with your tax adviser.
An issued invoice is not yet a paid order. In the case of several construction sites, discounts, partial payments, supplements, and final invoices, it must remain clear which customer has already paid and what amount is still outstanding. Motorica helps to better track payments and consistently follow up on open items.
Tiling businesses also need to address e-invoicing. Since 2025, structured e-invoices have generally applied to domestic B2B transactions. A simple PDF is not an e-invoice in the legal sense. For tilers, invoice data therefore needs to be maintained in a structured form, not merely look correct — especially for business customers, main contractors, property managers, developers and public-sector clients.
Tilers are experts in substrates, coverings, waterproofing and skilled installation — not German officialese. MIRA helps make official letters, supplier invoices, receipts and documents easier to understand. It can highlight important details and deadlines and explain content in the selected language. MIRA does not replace tax advice, legal advice or a binding review.
Many problems do not arise on the construction site but in the office afterwards. If measurements, photos, material receipts, additional services, supplements, and payment status are not properly documented, queries, late invoices, and unnecessary discussions arise. A digital office is intended to close these gaps precisely.
Motorica is more than an invoice form: it is a digital office for small businesses. For tilers, quotes, invoices, receipts, documents, scheduling, payments and MIRA come together in one place. This makes the workflow from first customer contact to payment clearer and less dependent on paper, chat histories or individual people.
Offers, invoices, appointments, locations, incoming payments and business documents should be organized without unnecessary system changes.
