Bliqat and Fortnox
Accounting system — and our integration partner
Bliqat and Fortnox 2026 — complements, not competitors
"Bliqat or Fortnox" is the wrong question: they do different things and they are connected. Fortnox is the bookkeeping and the finances — and for many trade contractors it is already where their accountant works. Bliqat is the quote, the job and the invoice: you describe the job in the chat, the customer signs with BankID, the work order and the invoice are built from the same case, and the invoice is then pushed to Fortnox with the ROT details, after which payments are read back. So you do not have to choose — and you should not have to key the same figure into two systems.
Choose Bliqat when…
- The quote and the job are what eat your time, not the bookkeeping.
- You want the preliminary ROT deduction worked out correctly in the quote and carried all the way to the invoice.
- You want to ask the tool how the firm is doing — what is out, what is overdue — and have it act, not just report.
Choose Fortnox when…
- If you need bookkeeping, VAT returns and annual accounts, Fortnox does that — not Bliqat. We do no bookkeeping at all.
- If your accountant works in Fortnox you should carry on. The connection exists precisely so that nobody has to switch.
Feature by feature
| Feature | Bliqat | Fortnox |
|---|---|---|
| Quote from a job description | Complete quote with line items, labour and materials kept apart, and hours — in under a minute | A quote/order function exists, but not AI-generated from a description |
| Agentic chat that acts | Agentic chat: Bosse acts inside the system, 50 actions presented as proposals you approve | Not stated in the price list |
| Hours against industry standard times | Hours are set against the industry standard times when your own register has no value | No |
| Preliminary ROT in the quote | Preliminary ROT worked out automatically: 30% of labour, cap per person, split across several owners | ROT is handled on the invoice, not in a quoting flow for trade contractors |
| Digital signing with BankID | BankID signing included — the customer gets a link, no app and no account | Not part of the quoting function |
| Variations (ÄTA) | Variations as their own part of the job, with their own signing and their own invoice lines | No |
| Work order | Work order out of the quote, workspace with assignment | Orders exist; work orders for trade jobs are not the core |
| Invoice to the customer | Invoice emailed with a PDF and a public invoice view, chasers, payments recorded, credit notes | Yes — invoicing is a core product |
| Bookkeeping and VAT | No — we do no bookkeeping | Yes — that is the core |
| The connection between the systems | The invoice is pushed to Fortnox with the ROT details; customers can be imported; payments are read back | Open API and partner programme |
| Price | SEK 990/month for the whole company, 842 on annual billing | Per program: Bookkeeping SEK 189/month, Invoicing SEK 149/month, Quote & Order SEK 99/month, plus transaction fees |
Where the boundary runs
Bliqat stops where the bookkeeping begins. We price the job, send the quote, handle the signing, build the work order and the invoice, send it to the customer and keep track of what has been paid. We do not do the bookkeeping, file no VAT return and submit no annual accounts — a proper finance system should do that.
That is why the Fortnox connection is not a bonus feature but a precondition: the invoice you created in Bliqat is pushed to Fortnox with the ROT details in place, customers can be imported into Bliqat, and payments recorded in Fortnox are read back so the invoice status is right in both places.
If you are looking for quoting software and already have Fortnox
Then the question is not which system is best, but what is missing from the one you have. For a trade contractor what is usually missing is the step before the invoice: pricing the job correctly, keeping labour and materials apart for the preliminary ROT deduction, getting the customer's signature and not keying the same figures again when the job is done.
Fortnox prices per program and publishes its price list: Bookkeeping SEK 189/month, Invoicing SEK 149/month, Quote & Order SEK 99/month, Integration SEK 189/month, plus transaction fees such as SEK 4.90 per invoice via their invoice service. Your actual monthly cost therefore depends on which programs you have — add up the ones you need before comparing with anything else.
Common questions
Does Bliqat replace Fortnox?
No. Bliqat does no bookkeeping and files no VAT return. We cover the quote, the job and the invoice; Fortnox is the finance system — and the invoice is pushed there with the ROT details.
How does the Fortnox connection work in practice?
You create the invoice in Bliqat from the quote and the work order, with the ROT hours frozen as they stood at acceptance. The invoice is pushed to Fortnox with the ROT details, customers can be imported, and payments are read back so the status matches in both systems.
Does Bliqat file the ROT claim with the Tax Agency?
No, not today. The preliminary ROT deduction is worked out and correctly separated in the quote and the invoice, and the details travel with the invoice to Fortnox — but the claim itself is not filed from Bliqat.
