Electrical
Electrical contractor software with job costing built in
Electrical work runs from one-hour service calls to multi-day panel, generator and EV charger jobs. FieldCX handles both: permits and readings on the visit, partial invoices on long jobs, and every breaker and foot of wire reconciled to the invoice and posted to your books.
In daily production at an electrical contractor in north Georgia.
Where electrical jobs lose money
Four leaks on electrical jobs
On electrical work the money usually goes missing in materials and in time: wire that never reached the invoice, and long jobs billed weeks after the work started.
Wire and breakers not billed
A panel job uses more wire and two more breakers than the estimate, and the invoice goes out at the estimate. In FieldCX, materials planned and materials used are tracked for each work order, so the difference shows before the job closes.
Long jobs billed at the end
A three-day job is invoiced after day three, and the cash arrives a month later. In FieldCX, technicians pause with percent complete and you can raise a partial invoice at each pause.
Permit details lost
The permit number and load readings are in a technician's notebook. In FieldCX, the closeout checklist requires them, and the job can't be submitted to dispatch until they're entered.
Commission on revenue, not profit
A job with heavy materials pays the same commission as a profitable one. In FieldCX, commission is worked out on revenue less materials actually used and helper labor, and held until the customer pays.
Closeout
Permits, readings and photos before the job closes
Set different checks for a service call, a panel replacement and an EV charger install. The technician sees exactly what's left, and dispatch sees a complete job.
