OrdoGrid

Belgium· Office Productivity Suite

Needs review

Shortlist OrdoGrid when you need Belgian Peppol send/receive plus quotes and customers in one browser product, especially if unlimited Peppol inbox on a free tier matters. Skip when you need a full accounting ledger, multi-country e-invoicing regimes, self-hosting, or a direct contract with a Peppol access-point operator. Consider DELKARO HANDWERK for German craft workflows or a dedicated Peppol access-point vendor when network control is the purchase filter.

DELKARO HANDWERK

Job-centric OFFICE for craft workflows
Customers, contacts, sites/assets, enquiries, tasks, documents, and the full order history stay on one job file so office staff can move from request to quote, preparation, execution, and billing without rebuilding context.
Quotes, calculation, and German e-invoices
Build quotes from measurements, catalogue positions, and labour/material shares; share a personal customer decision link; continue into progress and final invoices. Supported outputs include checked XRechnung or ZUGFeRD/Factur-X PDF packages when format validation is set up.
Crew planning with site time capture
Assign people and sites in day/week views, surface conflicts and travel buffers, record absences, and capture start/end/pause times on site for later office release. Time PDFs/CSVs are for further processing; the product does not create payroll.
Android field app with offline paths
Native Android app for site overview, times, photos, messages, and proofs, including local store-and-forward for supported offline changes. Browser OFFICE remains the hub; store-distributed iOS for that field app is not advertised on the functions page.
Materials from demand to stock movement
Track material demand on the job, prepare supplier orders, record partial/complete deliveries, and follow warehouse moves, take-out, and returns so site supply stays tied to the same order file.
Optional AI assists with human confirmation
Eleven OFFICE helpers can propose structured data from notes, photos, or messages. Suggestions require explicit human acceptance. Selected content may go to OpenAI with possible US processing; exclusive EU AI processing is not promised.

OrdoGrid

Peppol send, receive and delivery statuses
Prepare UBL invoices aligned with EN 16931, send through a certified Peppol access point, receive supplier invoices in an inbox, and track delivery plus IMR-style acceptance, rejection or dispute responses. Free plan: unlimited receiving and one outgoing Peppol invoice per month.
Quote-to-invoice document chain
Create quotes and invoices with automatic numbering and Belgian legal mentions, convert accepted quotes to invoices, look up VAT via CBE and VIES, and export PDFs. Receipts, credit notes and email sending with read receipts are on paid plans per the public pricing page.
Customers, projects, time and payments (paid)
Customer directory sits beside documents. Business features advertised include Kanban boards, tasks, time tracking, calendar sync (Google, Outlook, Apple ICS), Stripe payment links, bank statement import with payment matching, multi-location branding and team roles.
Public API on Business
Company-scoped API keys with documented OpenAPI for invoicing, Peppol and loyalty integrations. Useful when an accountant tool or custom workflow must create or fetch documents without living only in the UI.
Multilingual Belgian SME UI
Product and marketing surfaces are available in English, French, Dutch and German, with knowledge guides aimed at the Belgian 2026 B2B structured invoicing mandate and Peppol registration steps.

Assurance & compliance: DELKARO HANDWERK vs OrdoGrid

ISO 27001	Not found No ISO 27001 claim found on imprint, security, or HANDWERK privacy pages.	Not found No ISO 27001 claim or certificate located on official pages researched.
SOC 2 / SOC 3	Not found No SOC 2/3 claim found on reviewed primary pages.	Not found No SOC 2/3 report found on official site.
GDPR / EU data protection	Vendor claimed German controller/processor documentation published for HANDWERK Office and App; roles explained under Art. 28 for customer/job data.	Vendor claimed Privacy policy commits to GDPR and Belgian data protection law; Belgian DPA complaint link published.
US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative)	Partial EU sole proprietorship with no known US parent and Hetzner Germany core hosting, but optional OpenAI and Google/Apple push paths can involve US processing. Not legal advice.	Partial Belgian contracting entity and Hetzner FI core path, but privacy lists US-group processors (SendGrid, OpenAI, Stripe, Google, Microsoft). Indicative only, not legal advice.
Data processing agreement (B2B)	Vendor claimed Vendor states Art. 28 AVV is the basis for processing craft-business customer data; public downloadable AVV PDF not found on site. Obtain signed DPA in onboarding.	Not found No public DPA download found; confirm under contract.
EU AI Act	Partial Product includes optional AI suggestion features with human confirmation; no detailed EU AI Act conformity statement found on primary pages.	Partial Not an AI-first product, but privacy discloses OpenAI processing of PDF invoices for data extraction. Confirm role under AI Act with vendor if relevant.

Considerations & known limitations: DELKARO HANDWERK vs OrdoGrid
Considerations & known limitations	DELKARO HANDWERK	OrdoGrid
Pilot-stage product and access model	Medium Entry is application-based for a small pilot cohort. Functions may still have limits or defects; individual feature requests are not guaranteed.	Not listed
Optional AI can send data to OpenAI/US	Medium When AI recognition or preparation is explicitly requested, selected media, text, and business context may be processed by OpenAI with possible US transfer. Exclusive EU AI processing is not promised.	Not listed
Mobile push via Google FCM / Apple APNs	Low Optional push notifications use platform vendors that may process routing identifiers outside the EU. Product remains usable without push.	Not listed
No public ISO/SOC or independent audit	Medium Buyers that require published ISO 27001, SOC 2, or third-party security audit PDFs will not find them on the reviewed pages.	Not listed
Single-person operating company	Medium Imprint and About identify Daniel Sloman as the sole responsible operator. That aids accountability but concentrates continuity and support capacity risk.	Not listed
No published BCE / legal-form imprint	Not listed	Medium Terms and privacy identify OrdoGrid under Belgian law, and RDAP shows BE registrant country, but the public site does not show an enterprise number or SRL/BV line. Procurement teams may need registry confirmation before contracting.
US SaaS subprocessors on email, AI OCR and payments	Not listed	Medium SendGrid, OpenAI, Stripe and Google appear in the privacy processor table. Orgs with strict no-US-processor policies need a written exception or alternative tooling for those paths.
No public security certification pack	Not listed	Medium ISO 27001, SOC 2 and independent audit artefacts were not found publicly. Security questionnaires will need vendor follow-up.
Peppol via third-party access point	Not listed	Low Network reach depends on the certified access point OrdoGrid uses. Switching access points or troubleshooting delivery may involve that provider as well as OrdoGrid support.
Not a full accounting suite	Not listed	Low Document and Peppol workflows are the centre. Buyers needing statutory ledgers still need an accountant tool or ERP alongside OrdoGrid.

Fit

DELKARO HANDWERK

Best fit when

Small German-speaking craft businesses that want one job file from enquiry to invoice
Teams that need weekly crew planning plus Android site time/photo/message capture
Buyers who require German e-invoice outputs (XRechnung / ZUGFeRD) from the same operational system
Firms willing to join a personally onboarded pilot and accept a product still being refined with users
Organisations that accept proprietary SaaS on Hetzner Germany and will contract an Art. 28 DPA

Poor fit when

Buyers that need immediate self-serve signup, public APIs, or self-hosting
Organisations that forbid any US subprocessor path even for optional AI or mobile push
Companies needing payroll generation, live banking, or finished DATEV accounting inside the product
Crews that require a store-distributed iOS field app as a hard prerequisite without confirming alternatives
Enterprises that require published ISO 27001 / SOC 2 evidence before any pilot

Consider instead when

When: You need general EU team tasks/projects rather than craft quoting, materials, and Baustelle workflows
Consider: Nozbe or Stackfield
Stronger as collaboration/project tools than as Handwerk ERP substitutes.
When: You already standardise on a horizontal CRM or productivity suite and only need light job tracking
Consider: Salesforce or Microsoft 365
Broader ecosystem and integrations; weaker native German craft invoicing and site materials flows.
When: You need EU-only processing including AI assists with no US model providers
Consider: A craft or ERP vendor that publishes an EU-only AI path
DELKARO discloses possible US processing for OpenAI-backed assists and does not promise exclusive EU AI.

OrdoGrid

Best fit when

Belgian freelancers and SMEs exchanging Peppol invoices for in-scope domestic B2B work
Teams that want quotes, invoices and customer records in the same browser workspace as Peppol statuses
Buyers who need unlimited Peppol receiving with only occasional outgoing send on a free plan
Organisations that may later add projects, time tracking, bank import, Stripe links or API access on paid plans
Users who need the product UI in English, French, Dutch or German

Poor fit when

Companies that must contract a Peppol certified access point operator directly rather than via a SaaS intermediary
Teams needing full statutory bookkeeping, multi-entity consolidation or non-Belgian e-invoicing regimes as the core product
Buyers requiring published ISO 27001/SOC 2 or an on-site DPA download before first contact
Organisations that refuse US-group subprocessors for email, payments, analytics or AI document extraction
Self-host or open-source mandate environments

Consider instead when

When: You need German craft-business job, quote and invoice workflows with a field app rather than Belgian Peppol
Consider: DELKARO HANDWERK
Different country focus and no Peppol-first positioning in the catalog entry.
When: You want a French-hosted general office suite (files, email, docs) without Peppol invoicing
Consider: ArkiaSuite
Office productivity peer, not an e-invoicing network product.
When: You need a broad productivity suite already used company-wide and will bolt Peppol on elsewhere
Consider: Microsoft 365 or a dedicated Peppol access-point provider
Suite covers docs/email; Peppol still needs a network path.

Open questions for due diligence

DELKARO HANDWERK

Will the signed Art. 28 AVV and current subprocessor annex be provided before real customer data is loaded?
Which HANDWERK workflows are production-ready for this trade versus still experimental in the pilot?
Can AI features be disabled tenant-wide for buyers that forbid OpenAI/US transfers?
What is the supported path for iPhone-only crews given no App Store iOS field app on the functions page?
Are restore-test results, RPO/RTO, and TOMs available under NDA for due diligence?

OrdoGrid

What is the registered Belgian legal name and BCE/KBO enterprise number for the contracting entity?
Which Peppol certified access point provider is used, and can that chain be named in the DPA?
Will OrdoGrid sign a B2B DPA and provide a current subprocessor list under contract?
Is OpenAI processing of invoice PDFs optional, and can it be disabled for a tenant?
Are backups and database storage also on Hetzner EU regions, or on another cloud?
