Comparison

Flixer Pro vs Syntess

Two Dutch systems for installation and service businesses, laid side by side on AI, job sheets, estimating, price and implementation. Including where Syntess is stronger.

AI-first ERP
Alternative
Short answer

The short version

Flixer Pro and Syntess Atrium solve different halves of the same problem. Syntess is a full ERP for installation, service and maintenance: estimating, project management, work preparation, service contracts and financial administration run from one project administration, built for mid-sized to large businesses. Flixer Pro starts one step earlier, at the request: an AI phone assistant takes every call and puts it in the right customer record, an AI agent drafts quotes and job sheets, and you are live the same week from € 65 per month with no implementation project. Syntess does not publish prices and does not mention AI features on the product site. Choose Flixer Pro if you do not want to miss another request and want to start quickly; choose Syntess if you need deep estimating, project management and contract management and can take on an implementation project.

The honest trade-off

Strengths side by side

Strengths of Syntess

  • Full ERP depth for installation, service and maintenance: CRM, estimating, work preparation, field management and financial administration in one project administration.
  • Strong in projects and estimating, the area where larger installation companies protect their margin.
  • Service and maintenance contracts with recurring work sit as their own module in the system.
  • Field management links the web job sheet and time tracking straight back to the office, without double entry.
  • Established name with a clear position in the Dutch installation sector; since December 2025 part of the European software group Aceve.

Watch-outs

  • No AI phone assistant that records incoming calls and puts them in the customer record.
  • No lead intake or lead follow-up: the system starts with work you already have, not with the enquiry.
  • No auto-generated job sheets; the job sheet is filled in, not drafted.
  • No public pricing and a heavier implementation project, so time to go live is longer.
  • Enterprise tone and set-up: for sole traders and small crews the package is heavier than needed.

Where Flixer Pro makes the difference

  • AI phone assistant logs every call automatically in the customer record — no missed lead.
  • AI agent and automation take admin work off your plate; job sheets are drafted automatically.
  • Automatic lead follow-up so requests do not sit idle.
  • Built-in payments on the invoice (iDEAL, PayPal, credit card).
  • All-in-one and deliberately simple: live quickly without an implementation project.
  • Transparent regular price from €65/month, no setup costs, cancel monthly.
The verdict

For installation and service businesses that mainly lose time to missed calls, quotes that sit unfinished and administration after the job, Flixer Pro is the stronger choice: the AI phone assistant logs every request, the AI agent takes over the drafting work, and you run this week at a price that is on the site. If your business runs on multi-year projects with deep estimating, post-calculation and a large base of service contracts, Syntess Atrium already offers that ERP depth today, with a correspondingly heavier path to get there.

Choose Flixer Pro if…

  • You do not want to miss another request or urgent call thanks to an AI phone assistant.
  • You want quotes, job sheets and invoices drafted automatically.
  • You want to be live this week, without an implementation project or setup costs.
  • You want to know the cost up front: from € 65 per month, cancellable monthly.
  • You want customers to pay straight from the invoice with iDEAL, PayPal or credit card.
  • You are a sole trader or small crew and do not want an ERP project.

Choose Syntess if…

  • You work with multi-year projects where estimating and post-calculation sit at the centre.
  • You manage a large base of service and maintenance contracts.
  • You want work preparation, logistics and material flows in the same system.
  • You need your own integrated financial administration instead of an accounting integration.

Syntess Atrium is a serious package with a clear place in the Dutch installation sector. Anyone who runs on multi-year projects, sharp estimating and a large base of maintenance contracts finds depth there that Flixer Pro does not offer today.

The difference is where the system starts. Syntess starts with work you already have in: the estimate, the schedule, the job sheet, the invoice. Flixer Pro starts at the phone. The AI phone assistant takes the call you could not take yourself, puts it in the right customer record and turns it into a request ready to quote. A missed call is a missed job, and that loss sits before every ERP process.

So mainly weigh where your time leaks now. If you lose margin in estimating and post-calculation, Syntess is the logical choice. If you lose revenue to requests that sit unfinished and evenings of administration after the job, Flixer Pro solves exactly that, this week still and at a price that is simply on the site.

Frequently asked questions about Flixer Pro vs Syntess

What is the difference between Flixer Pro and Syntess?

Syntess Atrium is a full ERP for installation, service and maintenance, with estimating, project management, work preparation, service contracts and financial administration in one system. Flixer Pro is an AI-first system that starts one step earlier, at the incoming request: the AI phone assistant takes calls and logs them, and the AI drafts quotes, job sheets and invoices. Syntess goes deeper on delivery and administration; Flixer Pro goes further on winning and automating work.

Does Syntess have AI features like Flixer Pro?

The Syntess product site does not mention AI features. There is no phone assistant that records calls and puts them in the customer record, no AI agent that takes over administrative work and no auto-generated job sheet. That is the clearest difference with Flixer Pro.

What does Syntess cost?

Syntess does not publish prices. There are three editions, Professional, Business and Enterprise, and the price follows from a demo or advisory conversation, depending on edition, modules and implementation. Flixer Pro starts at € 65 per month, or effectively € 52 per month when paying six months in advance, with 14 days free to try and no implementation costs.

Where is Syntess better than Flixer Pro?

In ERP depth. Estimating and post-calculation, work preparation with materials and logistics, extensive contract and maintenance management and your own integrated financial administration are core Syntess modules. Businesses that run on those parts get more from Syntess today.

How quickly are you live with Flixer Pro compared with Syntess?

Flixer Pro starts with a free trial and typically runs the same week, without an implementation project and without setup costs. Syntess is implemented through a project with advice and configuration, which fits the size of the package but asks for more time and budget.

Can I switch from Syntess to Flixer Pro?

Yes. You can import customers and projects from Excel, and the Flixer Pro team helps with larger migrations through a guided import. If you still have a contract or implementation with Syntess, running side by side during the trial is the safest route.
