Galabau Software is a business management system designed specifically for garden and landscape construction professionals. It supports landscape architects, garden designers, landscape contractors and maintenance service providers by integrating administrative, financial and operational processes throughout the project lifecycle. The platform addresses sector specific requirements through tools such as integrated plant lists, a botanical encyclopedia and maintenance contract management. The system delivers significant time savings in project operations.

The software features a modular architecture that enables customization of functional scope according to specific business needs. Core capabilities include specialized calculation tools with preconfigured templates for outdoor construction projects, an integrated plant encyclopedia containing over eleven thousand species with twenty eight thousand photographs and botanical descriptions, and maintenance contract management for recurring service agreements. The calculation module provides detailed cost tracking across materials, equipment, labor and plant installation costs with automatic margin calculations and pricing floor determinations. Article catalogs from suppliers such as Bruns can be imported directly into the system to eliminate manual data entry. The plant encyclopedia facilitates extensive filtering based on criteria such as toxicity or thorns with selections linkable to quotations and plant lists. Document generation functionality enables rapid creation of quotations, plant lists, work orders, progress invoices and final invoices with live preview and automatic derivation. A mobile application extends functionality to field operations by enabling workers to record time on site, maintain digital diaries with photo documentation and weather data, navigate to customer locations, track material usage and manage leave balances.

Maintenance management features allow definition of individual maintenance procedures, document templates for services such as tree care or public green space maintenance, cycle establishment and automated recurring billing. Project management capabilities include intuitive planning boards with drag and drop resource assignment, integrated absence management and controlling tools for comparing plan and actual time. Measurement functionality supports data capture via mobile app with laser measuring devices, import from computer aided design systems and VOB compliant electronic construction billing in tabular format. Integration with third party systems and industry standard data formats includes GAEB file import for tender participation, electronic invoice export in standard formats, connectivity to accounting systems such as DATEV and access to supplier web shops through IDS Connect. An API provides direct access to manufacturer and wholesaler product catalogs without manual maintenance.

The platform maintains compliance with German legal requirements including GoBD principles for data archiving and processing, DSGVO data protection regulations and mandatory working time documentation standards. Regular updates ensure ongoing technical and regulatory compliance while cloud deployment options provide location independent access with automatic backups and enterprise grade security in certified data centers. The system architecture accommodates businesses of all sizes and adapts to evolving operational and regulatory demands.
