What Electrical Services Businesses Can Expect

We measure success by real business outcomes, not feature lists. For electrical services businesses, the key metrics are:

Jobs per technician per day: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Quote conversion rate: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Compliance completion rate: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Tech adoption in electrical services is at the low level. Most electrical services businesses still rely on manual processes or generic tools. This is an opportunity. The first businesses in this space to adopt custom software will set the standard.

Typical investment: $500-1500. Most electrical services clients see measurable ROI within the first month.

How We Work with Electrical Services Clients

Discovery. You tell us about your electrical services business: what is working, what is not, and what you wish you had. We ask about your current tools, team size, and daily workflows.

Scoping and quote. We define exactly what we will build and send you a fixed-price quote. No hourly rates. For electrical services projects, this usually falls within $500-1500.

Build. We build your solution, typically within 3-8 weeks. You talk directly to our founder and lead engineer. No project managers or middlemen.

Launch and handover. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and provide ongoing support. You own all the code and data.
