The idea behind Pactira
Most small businesses are good at the work itself. The part that wears people down is everything around it: writing the offer, remembering the follow-up, turning a yes into a proper contract. Pactira is built for that part.
The paperwork around the deal
The work is rarely the hard part. Selling it is: a clear offer, a follow-up that actually goes out, and, when the answer is yes, a contract to match.
For a one-person trade or a small team, that often means evenings spent rewriting the same kind of quote, follow-ups that slip through the cracks, and contracts assembled from old templates. None of it is the craft people signed up for.
Pactira started from one question: what if a single structured request could produce all of it at once?
One request, a complete offer
You fill in a structured form: industry, client, the request, scope, effort, price, deadline, tone. Pactira ships with ten industry profiles, from trades and construction to cleaning, garages, practices and local services, each with its own voice and its own typical objections.
From that one request, it generates a full bundle in the language you choose (German, English, French or Italian): a complete offer, a cover email, three follow-up emails, a short pricing rationale, answers to the usual objections, and, if you want, a tiered offer with a basic, a recommended and a premium option.
Every text stays editable, and nothing is sent on your behalf. You keep control of the words. The offer goes out as a PDF with your logo, the client's address, an offer number and the VAT split.
From a yes to a signed contract
The client receives a private link, sees a clean acceptance page in their own language, and can accept, with a name confirmation, or decline, with a reason. The offer's status moves to won or lost on its own.
Around that sits a simple pipeline: five clear statuses, and follow-up dates set automatically, with a "follow up today" list when something falls due.
When an offer is won, one button turns it into a contract draft in the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR) style (parties, scope, schedule, payment terms, warranty and a signature block), as a separate, editable PDF to review and sign.
And the internal notes (the phone calls, the back and forth of a negotiation) stay internal. By design, they never appear in the offer, the PDF or the contract.
The name
Pactira comes from pacta sunt servanda, "agreements are to be kept", one of the oldest principles in contract law.
It fits a tool whose whole purpose is the path from a clear offer to a kept agreement: the promise on the way in should match the document at the end. The name leads for now; the mark will follow when it has earned its place, not before.
The vision
Less time on administration, more on the actual work.
Pactira is built around the Swiss reality: four languages, VAT handling, OR-style contracts and realistic local pricing in its examples. The aim is not to replace judgement; every word stays editable. It is to remove the blank page and the forgotten follow-up, so a small business can sell as well as it works.
