Software for electrical contractors.

Master electricians need permit details and site notes on the spot, not after a phone call or a drive back to the shop. We build one electrical system for dispatch, estimating, permit and inspection tracking, crew licenses and job costing, shaped to how your office and crews already work.

The challenge

Flat-rate calls, T&M projects, permits in a spreadsheet.

The work mix keeps widening: EV charger installs, service upgrades and smart building controls sit alongside routine panel and lighting work, and each carries its own permit, inspection and code requirement. Service calls price off a flat-rate book while commercial projects bill time and materials, and running both through the same paperwork is where margin disappears.

Meanwhile crews carry expensive testing gear that goes missing between trucks, work in mechanical rooms with no signal, and hold journeyman licenses and safety training that lapse quietly in a spreadsheet. One expired credential can stop a commercial job the same day.

What it solves

The daily friction of running electrical crews.

The problems we hear most from electrical contractors, and what the system does about each:

“Permits and inspections slip”

→ Permit tracking with fees, inspection dates and expiration alerts on every job.

“A license lapsed mid-project”

→ Crew license and training records with alerts on the lead time you set, such as 60 days.

“Two pricing models, one mess”

→ Flat-rate and time-and-materials pricing held together, applied per job type, approved at the truck.

“Where is the thermal camera?”

→ Tool and equipment tracking by truck and job, checked in and out.

“No signal in the parking garage”

→ An offline app for work orders, photos, panel notes and signatures that syncs later.

“Change orders never get billed”

→ Change orders captured in the field and carried onto the invoice.

Build vs buy

Off-the-shelf or custom?

Platforms such as ServiceTitan and Jobber are strong products. Here is an honest way to decide which side of the line you are on.

Off-the-shelf platform

Buy when your workflow is standard

A subscription platform is usually the faster start when your work is mostly residential service calls.

  • Mostly flat-rate residential service
  • A team happy to follow the software’s process
  • Priced per technician or user, every month
  • Your data and workflow live inside the vendor’s product
Custom electrical software

Build when the workflow is your edge

Custom wins when commercial projects, permits and licenses have to live next to service calls, or when your stack has grown into tools that do not talk.

  • Flat-rate and T&M work in one system
  • Permit, inspection and license tracking built in
  • Job costing synced to your accounting
  • No per-seat fees as the crew grows

How it gets built

Live in 30 days.

We start with a Blueprint: your job types, pricing models, permits and crew credentials mapped into the system before anything is built. It is priced from $1,500 and the fee credits toward the build.

A 30-day pilot then puts the most painful workflow in front of your team. One core system is a Foundation Build from $2,500; the connected system is a Core Build from $5,000, quoted from the Blueprint.

Questions

Good to know.

Why build custom software for an electrical contractor?
▾

Platforms fit many residential service shops. Custom makes sense when commercial projects, permits, inspections and crew licenses need to live next to service calls, or when you want one system you own instead of per-seat fees.

Can it track permits and crew licenses?
▾

Yes. Permits carry fees, inspection dates and expirations, and every crew credential carries an expiry with alerts on the lead time you choose. Your jurisdiction and licensing board set the actual requirements.

Does it handle both flat-rate and time-and-materials billing?
▾

Yes. The system holds your flat-rate book and your labor rates, applies the right model per job type and captures customer approval before the technician leaves.

What does it cost?
▾

It is quoted to spec. A Blueprint is from $1,500 and credits toward the build, a Foundation Build is from $2,500 and a Core Build is from $5,000. An optional Care Plan is from $150 a month.

Start with a 30-day pilot

Run your electrical crews from one system.

Tell us how you dispatch, price and track permits today. We will map the gaps, stand up a working system as a 30-day pilot, and credit the pilot fee toward the build if you go on.
