AI & automation for electrical contractors operators.
Electrical contractors balance residential service calls with commercial project work, and the back-office challenge is keeping both lanes coherent. The shops growing fastest are the ones that can hand off service-call dispatch on autopilot while keeping the bigger commercial bids moving forward. Our work in this space is usually about untangling the two — letting routine residential work flow without owner attention so the owner can focus on the project-bid side.
The electrical operators we work with
- Independent electrical shops with both service and project work
- Operators running 3-15 vans across a metro service area
- Contractors bidding small/mid commercial alongside residential service
- Shops where the owner is still the lead estimator
The four highest-cost workflows in electrical
Three surgical tools that ship in weeks, not months
Service-side autopilot
Routine service calls (panel adds, outlet installs, small repairs) flow through structured intake → auto-quote from price book → customer self-schedule. Owner only touches edge cases.
- Time
- 3-4 weeks
- Price
- $3,000-$7,000
Bid pipeline tracker
Commercial bids tracked from RFQ → estimate → submission → award/loss with reminders for follow-up calls. Stops bids from rotting in the inbox while the owner is on a service call.
- Time
- 2-3 weeks
- Price
- $2,000-$4,500
Material cost sync
Pull supplier price updates into your estimating tool weekly. Estimates use current pricing automatically; margins stop slipping silently.
- Time
- 3-4 weeks
- Price
- $2,500-$6,000
We integrate — we don't replace
- ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber
- Knowify or BuilderTrend (commercial project side)
- QuickBooks Online or Desktop
- Estimating software (often industry-specific or Excel)
- Twilio / VoIP phone systems
Common questions from electrical owners
- Do you work with both residential and commercial electrical?
- Yes. Most operators we work with run both — the value of our work is separating them operationally so the bigger commercial work doesn't get strangled by residential service noise.
- Can you integrate with my estimating software?
- Depends on the software. The major commercial estimators (Accubid, McCormick, etc.) have data export paths. Even when there's no API we can build around scheduled exports and CSV ingestion.
- How do you handle permit and inspection scheduling?
- Local jurisdictions vary too much for a universal solution. We build per-municipality where it makes sense — typically a queue tracker + reminder system rather than direct integration with the city.
- Will this work for a 3-person shop?
- Yes — at that size, the highest-leverage build is usually the service-side autopilot since the owner is wearing the dispatcher hat. Scope adjusts accordingly.
