The biggest challenges facing electrical contractors
Electrical contractors have enough to think about without chasing paperwork, schedules and premits. Electrician job management software like Klipboard keeps jobs, reports and invoices in one place.
Between service calls, installs and inspection work, these are the problems that eat into every week:
Service calls disrupting planned work
A no-power call comes in mid-morning and a planned panel upgrade has to move, but nobody can see which jobs can shift.
No clear view of job progress
Without live job status, the office calls around to find out what’s started, what’s finished and what’s waiting on parts.
Reports and paperwork completed too late
Inspection reports, test results and permit paperwork written up back at the office mean rekeyed results and customers waiting.
Recurring maintenance slipping through
Commercial customers need regular electrical maintenance and inspections, and a spreadsheet won’t remind anyone. PM reminders create the next inspection for you.
Repair work going elsewhere
Inspections and infrared scans turn up deficiencies every week. Without a quick route from report to quote, the repair work goes to someone else.
Invoices taking too long to send
Completed jobs wait for paperwork to be typed up, so invoices go out days after the work is done.
Smarter job management for electricians
Whether it’s an installation, an inspection or an emergency service call, electrical contractor software keeps every job organized, every report complete and every invoice moving, without the admin pile-up.
