About Kos Krebs
Kos Krebs, a German specialist in custom curtain and shading systems, works on highly precise and customized projects. Every project starts with interpreting technical drawings – and accuracy is critical. Read more about Kos Krebs here

The Challenge
As their business grew, so did the complexity of managing drawings and extracting accurate data. Teams often downloaded drawings, made markups in external tools, and saved multiple versions — creating confusion, duplicates, and lost time.

They needed:

• Faster takeoffs and estimates
• Better control over file versions
• A way to work directly inside their own system

The Solution: Viewsoft Embedded Takeoff Module
Kos Krebs discovered Viewsoft and quickly recognized the value of embedding a takeoff module directly into their own platform.

With Viewsoft, they can:

• Perform precise measurements inside their project environment
• Export structured data for pricing and production
• Maintain full control over user access and data flow
• Avoid disrupting existing workflows

Real Partnership, Real Impact
Kos Krebs didn’t just adopt a product — they co-developed it. Through feedback and testing, they helped shape Viewsoft’s Takeoff module to meet real-world needs.

The Business Case
As Carsten Krebs explains:
"It’s difficult to measure exactly how much time and money we save, but avoiding problems from mismatched PDF versions alone is worth more than €10,000 per year for us — a significant amount for a small company."

What’s Next
Kos Krebs continues to refine its platform, integrating Viewsoft features to improve speed, accuracy, and control over drawing-based workflows.
