The biggest challenges facing electrical contractors
Electrical contractors have enough to think about without chasing paperwork, schedules and certificates. Electrician job management software like RAM Job Management keeps jobs, certificates and invoices in one place.
Between fault calls, installs and inspection work, these are the problems that eat into every week:
Emergency callouts disrupting planned work
A fault call comes in mid-morning and a planned consumer unit change has to move, but nobody can see which jobs can shift.
No clear view of job progress
Without live job status, the office rings round to find out what’s started, what’s finished and what’s waiting on parts.
Electrical certificates completed too late
EICRs, EICs and Minor Works Certificates written up back at the office mean rekeyed test results and customers waiting for paperwork.
Five-year EICRs slipping through
Landlord and commercial EICRs come round every five years or sooner, and a spreadsheet won’t remind anyone. PPM reminders create the next inspection for you.
Remedial work going elsewhere
EICRs flag C1 and C2 defects every week. Without a quick route from report to quote, the remedial 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 EICR or an emergency callout, electrical contractor software keeps every job organised, every certificate complete and every invoice moving, without the admin pile-up.
Job scheduling for electrical contractors
Keeping electricians productive starts with better scheduling. Assign work, balance workloads and respond quickly when a fault call lands on a full day.
Schedule work by:
- Assigning jobs by availability, qualification or skill set
- Moving planned installs and testing when an emergency comes in
- Sharing customer information, site details and previous certificates instantly
- Keeping every electrician’s schedule organised
Electrical certification software and digital job sheets
Complete certificates on site while the test results are in front of you, and send the customer a copy before you leave.
Complete paperwork by:
- Completing EICs and Minor Works Certificates aligned to BS 7671
- Recording EICRs with schedules of test results and observation codes
- Attaching evidence check photos of every C1 or C2 defect
- Capturing customer signatures and storing Part P documentation
Electrical job tracking from fault call to sign-off
Electrical job tracking gives your office complete visibility without chasing electricians for updates. Monitor progress in real time, answer customer queries confidently and keep work moving throughout the day.
Track every job with:
- Live job progress from assignment to completion

Manage every installation with:
- Service history and certificates linked to every property
- Five-year EICRs and periodic inspections created automatically
