Industry
Your electricians handle the panels. Your backend should handle everything else.
Electrical contractors juggle two different businesses under one roof — residential service calls that need same-day dispatch and commercial projects that span weeks with crew scheduling, permit tracking, and progress billing. Most field management platforms aren't built for that split. So the residential side runs on one workflow, the commercial side runs on phone calls and spreadsheets, and the owner is the only person who knows where everything stands.
We build the operational infrastructure that handles both sides — scheduling that manages single-visit service calls and multi-day panel upgrades, estimating workflows with real material and labor costs, permit tracking that doesn't rely on memory, and invoicing that keeps pace with completed work. Implemented, not just recommended.
Common breakdowns
The operational patterns that keep electrical contractors stuck.
Most electrical contractors hit the same wall between $500K and $3M in revenue. The business grew because the owner is a great electrician who can close jobs and manage crews. But now there are more trucks, a mix of residential and commercial work, permits to track, multi-day jobs to coordinate, and the informal systems that got you here are breaking down. You can feel it in the missed inspections, the estimates that never get followed up on, and the invoicing that's always behind.
- Residential service calls and commercial project scheduling run on two separate systems — or no system at all
- Estimates are built from scratch every time because there is no standard pricing library for common electrical work
- Permit tracking is manual — sticky notes, spreadsheets, or the electrician's memory
- Panel upgrades and rewiring jobs span multiple days but the scheduling system only handles single-visit appointments
- Crew assignments for commercial projects happen through text messages and phone calls instead of the dispatch platform
- Invoicing for completed residential work happens days late because job completion isn't triggering the billing process
- No visibility into which job types are profitable and which are eating margin on materials and labor
- The field management platform was set up for generic service work, not the way electrical contractors actually operate
What we help implement
The operational backbone for an electrical contracting business that runs without the owner as the bottleneck.
Field Service Platform Setup
Full implementation of your field management platform — Housecall Pro, Jobber, ServiceTitan, FieldEdge, or whatever fits your operation. Service catalog for residential and commercial work, scheduling rules, dispatch zones, communication automations, invoicing. Configured around how electrical contractors actually run jobs, not the generic default.
Scheduling & Dispatch for Mixed Workloads
Dispatch logic that handles both same-day residential service calls and multi-day commercial projects. Technician certifications, crew assignments, drive time, job duration, and priority rules — all built into a system your office team can trust.
Estimating & Proposal Workflows
Digital estimates your electricians can build and send from the field or office. Material cost libraries, labor rate calculations, tiered pricing for panel upgrades and rewires. Approval workflows and follow-up sequences so estimates don't disappear into inboxes.
Permit Tracking & Inspection Coordination
A structured process for tracking permits from application through final inspection. No more sticky notes or spreadsheets — permit status tied to the job record so nothing falls through the cracks and inspections don't get missed.
Invoicing, Payments & Accounting Integration
Invoices generated from completed jobs, progress billing for commercial projects, payment processing in the field, automatic sync to QuickBooks or your accounting system. No more double-entry between your field platform and your books.
Reporting & Job Costing Dashboards
Revenue by service type, technician productivity, estimate conversion rates, job profitability by category. The numbers you need to see whether residential service calls or commercial projects are actually making you money.
