For Australian electrical contractors

The paperwork is the business. So we built it properly.

Every certificate you owe. Every licence about to lapse. Every job you finished and never invoiced. One system across the desk and the van, built around how your business already runs.

What it actually costs

Four leaks, and none of them
look like a problem until they are.

01

Work finished, never billed

The job's done, the van's gone, the invoice never got raised because the certificate wasn't written. Two months later nobody remembers.

$18,410typical unbilled at any moment
02

A licence lapses quietly

Solar accreditation expires on a Tuesday. Nobody notices until a rebated quote gets rejected and the customer asks why.

03

Certificates in a shoebox

Somebody disputes work from four years ago. You're searching a ute console, three phones and an old laptop.

5 yearshow long you must be able to produce it
04

Audit evidence reconstructed later

The rebate audit lands two years after the install. Serial numbers and photos get pieced together from memory. That's where claims get clawed back.

In the field

One thumb, gloves on,
standing at the board.

Circuit results go in as you test. Insulation, loop impedance, RCD trip time — recorded against the circuit, not scribbled on the back of a docket.

  • The certificate won't unlock until every circuit passes. That's deliberate.
  • A failed circuit says so in plain English — what it measured, and what happens next.
  • Photos attach themselves to the job, timestamped, before the van leaves.
  • Your whole week sits on one screen, colour-coded by what's blocked.

Live Yellow means one thing:
something needs you.

Nothing in this system is coloured to look nice. If it's lit, it's energised or it's outstanding. Your crew learns that in a morning.

In the office

Open it and know
where the business stands.

Not a wall of charts. Money in, work you've done but haven't billed, what's overdue, who's on the road, and the four things that will cost you if today goes by.

  • Compliance health as a single number, with the licence that's dragging it down named.
  • Every certificate you owe, oldest first, with the blocker attached.
  • Quotes out and what's stopping the blocked one from sending.
  • Twelve months of licence runway on one timeline.

Every screen, explained

Nineteen screens. Here's what
each one actually does.

This is a complete build for one contractor — not a feature list. Every screen below is real, and every one is clickable if you want to read the detail on it.

On site 7 In the office 8 Your customer sees 4

In the van, at the board, gloves on

On site

Seven screens built for one thumb and bright sunlight. Big type, plain English, and nothing that needs a keyboard.

The first thing you see at 6am

The board

Not a menu. A number. Seven jobs invoiced with no certificate written, and two of them are more than a month old. Underneath it, today's job broken into twelve circuits — yellow for tested and passed, red for failed, grey for not done yet.

  • The DIN rail shows your job's real state at a glance, gloves on
  • Three counters underneath: licences expiring, rebates at risk, work done but not billed
  • Next job pinned above the tab bar so you never hunt for it

Recording tests as you do them

Circuit results

Every circuit gets its readings entered against it — insulation resistance, loop impedance, RCD trip time. Measured values are set in monospace so digits line up and you can scan a column without misreading a decimal point.

  • A failed circuit turns red and says what it measured, in plain English
  • Progress bar shows tested, failed and remaining without you counting
  • The certificate button stays locked until every circuit passes

Issued, filed and sent before you leave

Certificate written

The certificate renders on a real paper background so it reads as a document, not a form. Address, work done, who tested it and under which licence, the date written and the date it must be kept until.

  • Three destinations confirmed on one screen: customer, your records, the invoice
  • The invoice button only appears once the certificate exists
  • Retention date calculated for you — five years from the day it was written

Answering a four-year-old question in a second

Find any past job

Type an address. Everything you have ever done there comes back, newest first, with a thumbnail from the job and whether the certificate is on file or the job is still open.

  • Search is by address because that is how customers ask
  • Each result shows the date, the electrician, and the certificate status
  • Open jobs are flagged yellow so nothing hides in the list

The screen that stops a costly mistake

A blocked quote

A solar quote that cannot be sent, and it says exactly why. Three checks run before any rebated install — panels and inverter on the approved list, battery install compliant, your accreditation current. Two passed. One did not.

  • Names the blocker instead of just greying out the button
  • Explains the consequence: the customer's rebate is at risk, not just yours
  • The fix is the primary action — renew, and the quote sends itself

Where everyone is, and what is stuck

The week

Seven days across the top with today lit. Below it, the day's jobs with times, crew, a photo and a live status — on site now, quote blocked, booked.

  • Status colour tells you what needs you before you read a word
  • Each job carries a one-line note: how far through, or what is blocking it
  • Tap through to the job without going back to a menu

Licence numbers on the door

Sign in

A dark, quiet entry screen over a photograph of tools on a van floor. The line underneath is the promise the whole system makes: every circuit you have tested, still on file.

  • Contractor and accreditation numbers shown at the bottom
  • Sets the tone before anyone sees a single feature
  • Built for one-handed use in a driveway, not a desk

At the desk, running the business

In the office

Eight screens that answer where the business stands, what it owes, and what will cost money if today goes by.

The whole business, one screen, no scrolling

Today

Five numbers across the top: invoiced this month, work done but not billed, overdue payments, certificates owing, rebates pending. Underneath, who is out on the road, the four things that need you today, and compliance health as a single percentage.

  • Every number carries a trend or a reason underneath it, never a bare figure
  • Needs you today lists consequences, not tasks — one quote is blocked, a circuit failed
  • Six months of invoicing as a bar chart with the current month lit

Queue on the left, the job on the right

Jobs

A split work surface. The left column is every job waiting on a certificate. Select one and the right side fills with a wide photograph of the site, the blocker stated plainly, and the real circuit results table.

  • Selected job carries a yellow spine so you never lose your place
  • The blocker sits in red with the fix attached as a button
  • Actions below are honest — write certificate stays locked, send invoice waits

What you owe, oldest first

Certificates

Four counters, then a table of every job finished but not certified — sorted by how long it has been waiting, because that is the number that hurts. Beside it, a plain reminder of the four things every certificate must contain.

  • Waiting column turns yellow, then red, as a job ages
  • Ready to send jobs are separated from ones with a failed circuit
  • Five-year retention explained on the page, not buried in help

Pipeline, and what is blocking one of them

Quotes

Quotes out on the left with values and status. Select the blocked one and the right side explains itself: the three checks for a rebated install, which one failed, and the full price breakdown showing what the customer pays after the rebate.

  • Blocked quotes are visually separated, not just labelled
  • Rebate step-down date and days of runway shown against the price
  • One button to clear the blocker

1,284 certificates, findable by address

Past records

One search field, prominent, with the result count and how long it took. Underneath, every job at that address as a full card — date, who did it and under which licence, and a sentence of what was actually done.

  • Search results include open jobs, flagged, not just completed ones
  • A five-year bar chart shows nothing is missing from any year
  • Built for the phone call where somebody disputes old work

Twelve months of runway on one timeline

Licences

Every licence, accreditation, calibration and insurance on a single horizontal timeline. Green means comfortable, yellow means it is approaching, red means it has already lapsed and something has stopped.

  • The expired one sits in red at the top with the consequence spelled out
  • Reminder cadence shown on the page: 60 days, 30 days, 7 days, expired
  • Covers worker licences per person, not just the contractor licence

Unbilled work, and why two are held back

Money

Five money counters, then a table of work you have done but not billed, worth $18,410 in this build. Two of them are deliberately held — the certificate is not written yet, and this system will not let you invoice before you certify.

  • Aging breakdown of money owed to you, bucketed by how late it is
  • The held-back rule is explained on screen, not enforced silently
  • Six months of invoicing with the value labelled above each bar

Twelve evidence items, gathered on the day

Rebate audit pack

Everything an auditor will ask for about a solar install, captured while the van was still in the driveway. Eleven items held, one missing — and the missing one is the reason the claim cannot be lodged.

  • Serial numbers captured by scan, photos geotagged and timestamped
  • Approved-product checks recorded on the install date, not reconstructed
  • The whole pack exports as one PDF when the auditor calls

The part that wins the next job

Your customer sees

Four screens your customer receives. Most contractors send nothing between quote and invoice. This is the gap.

Twelve minutes out, with your licence on it

On the way

Your customer gets a screen, not a vague text. Who is coming, what their licence number is, what the job is, and how long their power will be off.

  • Worker licence, contractor number and insurance shown up front
  • Explains the disruption before it happens — about two hours without power
  • Call or message the electrician directly from the same screen

Certificate and photos, handed over on site

Work complete

The moment the job is certified, your customer gets the document and the photographs. Not a promise to email it later — the thing itself, on their phone, before you drive away.

  • Certificate rendered as a real document they can download
  • Job photos included so they can see what they paid for
  • Tells them you hold a copy for five years if they lose theirs

One price, what it includes, one button

Approve a quote

The price they actually pay, with the rebate already taken off and shown as a line item so it reads as a discount you obtained for them. Then what they get, in plain language, with a photo against each item.

  • Full price and rebate broken out — no hidden maths
  • Every inclusion has a photo and a one-line explanation
  • Price-hold date stated, which is a real reason to decide now

The repeat work most sparkies never chase

Safety switch reminder

Two years after you tested their safety switches, the system tells them it is due — and shows the results from last time, including how many milliseconds each switch took to trip.

  • Explains why it matters in one short paragraph, no scare tactics
  • Shows the previous readings so the reminder has evidence behind it
  • Book, or defer a month — both are one tap

How we build

This is not software you sign up for.
It's software we build around you.

Every electrical business runs differently. Some do domestic service, some do commercial fit-out, some live and die on solar rebates. The screens on this page are one build for one contractor. Yours will share the bones and almost nothing else.
