Kraaft in the field, your favorite tools in the office: our APIs are here

Your field crews love Kraaft. Your office team loves their software. Until now, the two didn't always talk to each other.

That changes today: we've just launched our APIs, and they let you push everything your teams capture in Kraaft — reports, photos, forms, daily logs, signatures, locations — straight into the tools your office already runs on.

The problem we kept hearing about

If you've worked in construction, you know the dance. The field sends photos on WhatsApp. Someone in the office downloads them, renames them, drags them into a folder. The daily log lives in a notebook, or a text message, or someone's memory. Then at the end of the week, somebody — usually the person who least has time for it — re-types everything into the project management software so the numbers add up and the client report goes out.

Kraaft already solved the first half of that problem: ground teams report from their phone in something as simple as a group chat, and everything comes out structured on the other side — searchable, exportable, organized by project.

But there was still a wall between Kraaft and the rest of your software stack. Your estimates live in one tool. Your scheduling lives in another. Your accounting, your CRM, your client portal — they all needed that field data, and getting it there still meant exports, downloads, and copy-paste.

The APIs tear that wall down.

What does that look like in real life?

Construction management platforms like Billdr Pro. Your crews keep reporting from the field in Kraaft, simple as ever. Project managers get that information flowing directly into Billdr Pro for office management — estimates, budgets, client updates. The field never has to open a second app, and the office never has to chase down a photo or a measurement. Each side works in the tool that was actually built for them.

Estimation and ticketing with Jobber. We just set this up with teams here in New York. Field observations logged in Kraaft feed their estimation and ticketing workflow in Jobber automatically. A crew member flags an issue on site, snaps a photo, fills a quick form — and on the office side, that becomes a ticket with everything attached, ready to be quoted. What used to be an end-of-day admin chore now just... happens.

Google Calendar. One of our clients in Winnipeg connected Kraaft to Google Calendar, so site events and interventions logged by the field show up where the whole company plans its week. No more "wait, when did that intervention happen?" — it's on the calendar, with the report one click away.

And these are just the first three. If your tool has an API — and these days almost everything does — there's a path to connect it — take a look at our integrations to see what's already live.

How it works (without getting too nerdy)

Every record your teams create in Kraaft — a form entry, a report, an observation — is exposed through the API with all of its fields neatly organized. Dates, text, photos, checkboxes, signatures, GPS locations: it's all there, structured and ready to be read by another system.

That means you can build connections two ways:

Directly, if you have a developer or a technical person in-house. The API is straightforward, well-documented, and designed to be picked up in an afternoon, not a quarter.

Through no-code automation tools like Make or Zapier. This is how a lot of our clients are starting: no developer needed, just a visual workflow that says "when a new report lands in Kraaft, do this over there." The Google Calendar integration in Winnipeg? Built exactly this way.

We're also building for the data-hungry: with Kraaft Data Exchange (KDE), your field data can flow into analytics platforms like Google BigQuery, so the operations and finance teams can run real reporting on what's actually happening on site — not what someone remembered to type in on Friday afternoon.

Why we built this

We've always believed the field shouldn't have to adapt to office software — it should be the other way around. Ask a site foreman to fill out a seven-screen form in an ERP and you'll get blank fields and creative workarounds. Give them a chat thread that quietly structures everything behind the scenes, and you'll get more information than you've ever had.

But we also know Kraaft isn't your only tool, and it shouldn't try to be. You've invested in your estimation software, your scheduling system, your accounting stack. The job of field data is to feed those systems, not to live in yet another silo.

Our APIs are the bridge: the field stays simple, the office stays powerful, and nobody re-types anything.

What this means for your team

For the field crew: nothing changes. That's the whole point. They keep using Kraaft the way they already do — no new app, no new training, no extra steps.

For the office: the data starts showing up where they already work. Fewer exports, fewer email attachments, fewer "can you resend that photo?" messages.

For management: a single flow of truth from the site to the systems where decisions get made. When the field logs it once, everyone has it.

Want to try it?

If you're already using Kraaft and you're curious what an integration could look like with your stack — Billdr Pro, Jobber, Google Calendar, or something else entirely — book a quick call with us. We'll hop on together, look at your setup together, and show you how it works. In most cases, a first integration is up and running in days, not months.

The field talks. Now your software listens.
