Electrical contractor software & automation

From estimating to the jobsite, keep your electrical business connected.

Electrical contractors manage estimates, crews, materials, project schedules, inspections, and paperwork across multiple jobs. We build custom software, integrations, and automation that connect your office, field teams, and business systems, so projects move forward without information getting lost along the way.

Built for different types of electrical work

A service call and a commercial installation shouldn't follow the same workflow.

We shape the technology around the work, whether that's quick service, a multi-month build, or recurring contracts.

Residential & service

Fast-moving jobs need fast-moving information. Connect requests, scheduling, assignments, estimates, documentation, and invoicing. Example: a homeowner requests an EV charger install, and the system collects property info and photos before scheduling an estimate.

Intake→Scheduling→Service→Invoice

Commercial & construction

Keep the office, field crews, and PMs working together. Coordinate bids, documents, subcontractor schedules, materials, labor, inspections, and change orders. Example: a PM updates the install schedule and crews, materials, and milestones update through connected workflows.

Project mgmt→Materials→Job costing

Maintenance & contracts

Stay ahead of recurring work and service obligations. Track equipment records, recurring inspections, maintenance schedules, agreements, and completed service. Example: a property's recurring maintenance generates upcoming tasks and coordinates visits.

Maintenance→Service history→Recurring
Estimating & bid management

Better estimates start with better-connected information.

Estimating is more than a price. Step through how a bid moves from opportunity to awarded project. AI can help organize drawings, documents, and project information; your estimators remain responsible for quantities, pricing, scope, and final approvals.

Step 1 of 8
Project documents, drawings, specifications, and deadlines come in.

Know what each project costs

Bring labor, materials, purchases, and project financials together.

Job costing
Materials & purchasing

The material list shouldn't get lost between estimating and the jobsite.

A project starts with an estimate, but material needs change as work progresses. We connect estimating, purchasing, inventory, suppliers, and field requests so everyone works from the same information.

  1. 1

    Field supervisor requests materials

    For example: 20 EMT connectors, 500 ft THHN wire, 12 junction boxes, submitted from the jobsite.

  2. 2

    Project manager reviews

    Confirms the project, quantities, and budget before anything is ordered.

  3. 3

    Purchasing receives the request

    Checks current stock and supplier options.

  4. 4

    Order approved

    A purchase order is generated or updated through your approval process.

  5. 5

    Materials received

    The receipt is associated with the right project.

  6. 6

    Job costs updated

    Approved costs flow into project reporting, not a separate spreadsheet.

The same approach connects jobsite devices, like barcode scanners and mobile tools, to your systems. See our connected hardware work.

Field operations

Your crews shouldn't have to call the office for every update.

Electrical work happens in the field, but PMs and office staff need accurate information to keep jobs moving. We build mobile workflows that make it easier to record work, flag changes, and keep projects current.

Daily job reports

Crews submit completed work, delays, notes, and photos from the jobsite.

Labor & time tracking

Employee hours associated with projects, tasks, or cost codes.

Inspection documentation

Track inspection status, corrections, and the documentation required.

Change requests

Field supervisors submit changes with photos, descriptions, and approval requirements.

Change orders & approvals

When the scope changes, the paperwork shouldn't fall behind.

New requirements, revised drawings, unforeseen conditions, and customer requests all affect labor, materials, schedules, and cost. Without a clear process, changes scatter across emails, texts, and spreadsheets. Keep the scope, costs, approvals, and records connected.

Step 1 of 6
A change is identified in the field.
What we connect

Captured where it happens, not lost in a text thread.

Software integrations

Your estimating, project, and accounting software should work together.

Electrical contractors rely on different tools for estimating, project management, accounting, scheduling, and field operations. We evaluate what you use and build integrations, workflows, and custom tools to reduce duplicate entry and keep information moving between them.

AccubidConEstProcoreAutodesk Construction CloudServiceTitanQuickBooks

Estimating & takeoff

Platforms such as Accubid, ConEst, and other electrical estimating applications.

Construction & project management

Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and project management platforms.

Field service & scheduling

ServiceTitan, Jobber, and field-service applications.

Accounting & financial systems

QuickBooks, payroll, purchasing platforms, and project financial reporting.

We work with what you already have.

What can actually be connected depends on each platform's APIs, licenses, vendor access, and your configuration, so we confirm what's possible before promising it, rather than implying certified integrations with everything.

Custom software development

When your software doesn't fit your operation, build the missing piece.

If a good tool already exists, we'll look at connecting it. If your business needs something different, we can build it.

Custom field applications

Mobile apps for project updates, timesheets, inspections, documentation, and crew communication.

Electrical project dashboards

Combine scheduling, project progress, costs, outstanding approvals, and field activity.

Material & inventory systems

Track materials across warehouses, trucks, projects, and purchasing workflows.

Customer & contractor portals

Controlled access to project updates, documents, approvals, and invoices.

Custom business integrations

Connect estimating, construction management, accounting, and internal tools.

Project visibility

Know where your projects stand before the numbers surprise you.

Labor hours, material purchases, change orders, and remaining work all affect profitability. We bring it together so PMs and owners can see what's happening without assembling reports by hand.
