Tools for Trades

Electrical Contractor Software

An electrical shop runs on three kinds of software: one to run the work, one to keep the books, and one to keep the phone ringing. Below is all three, with prices from the vendors' own pages and honest markers where they hide them.

Field service management

This is the system the day actually runs on: emergency calls scheduled around planned jobs, estimates for panel upgrades and rewires, dispatch, invoicing on-site, and getting paid before the truck leaves. One system instead of texts, paper and a whiteboard. Each tile shows what that platform emphasizes for electricians.

Accounting software

The books decide whether T&M work actually made money, and they only work if they reconcile themselves: invoices flowing from the field software into the ledger instead of lying around until tax season. That makes the sync question the deciding one, and it's covered in theaccounting guide for electricians.

Marketing and reviews

Repeat customers and referrals carry an electrical business, and reviews are where new customers check you out first. Before buying anything here, know what your field software already bundles; several sell review tools on their upper tiers. Two of the four below publish no prices at all, which is worth knowing before the sales call.
