What is electrical contractor software?

Electrical contractor software is an integrated software solution for electrical contractors and service businesses to automate common day-to-day tasks. 

Electrical contractor software helps agents and technicians simplify their jobs and get work done faster by creating schedules, dispatching field technicians, sending invoices, and more, with greater efficiency and easier collaboration.

Electrical Contractor Management Software speeds up your service business

Simple service management

Manage appointments, work orders, and customer communication all in one place for easy access and transparency – ensuring your entire team is on the same page and resulting in better collaboration and efficiency. 

Effortless scheduling

Reduce productivity downtime with the ability to easily create tasks, pick customer and job requests, and assign them to your team of electrical contractors in seconds with simple drag-and-drop capabilities in a single dashboard.

Easy billing

Electrical contractor software can be integrated with billing tools to generate your invoice digitally. This process takes less time since the integration enables automatic calculation of the invoice from the time logs that get recorded by technicians using the electrical software mobile app.

Electrical contractor software transforms the way your service team works

Electrical estimating software gives you the key to greater control over your business. Forget about whiteboards, back-and-forth phone calls, and constantly out-of-date calendars and start optimizing your business for profit.

No more paperwork

Running an electrician service business efficiently requires you to be constantly adjusting moving pieces such as tasks, contractors, and customers. Tasks such as taking down job details for every request raised,scheduling appointments and coordinating between service teams and field staff using paper can be time-consuming and can negatively impact your overall efficiency.  With electrician software, creating a job with all the relevant information becomes much more manageable.

Reduce operational costs

If your business strategy is the least bit inefficient, you risk negatively impacting your company by losing the extra funds you need to keep growing. This is why focusing your energy on optimizing business processes results in higher efficiency, and therefore higher profitability. Using Electrical software leads to better job management, which results in eliminating unnecessary repeat site visits, improved logistics, and as a consequence, lower costs. 

Complete tasks faster

With information about jobs and contractors’ schedules instantly available, dispatchers can easily find and assign the nearest available electrician to get to the job. This also leads to better coordination between technicians and service managers, and consequently, a faster resolution time. Without an efficient way to schedule your field service jobs, you risk slow response times and slower task completion.

Deliver stellar service experiences

When tasks are scheduled without a plan, electricians can’t operate efficiently, and they end up spending time in back and forth conversations between technicians, agents, and customers, causing slower resolutions and disappointed customers. With electrical contractor software, field technicians have access to the entire historical context of a customer's requests, and can prepare themselves for the job at hand. Additionally, they can receive updates in real time from the dispatcher and customer, allowing them to easily deliver seamless experiences.
