AI for electricians takes the paperwork off your evenings. It prepares quotes from past jobs and recent material prices, turns finished job sheets into draft invoices and captures material receipts as draft expenses. Certificates and technical decisions stay with you.
Why do quotes take your evenings?
AI for electricians starts with one honest problem: most electricians quote after work, at the kitchen table, from memory and a pile of old paper.
Say you did a rewire last spring. Now a customer wants a similar job. You hunt for the old quote, try to remember the cable prices, and guess the hours. Two evenings later, the quote goes out. By then the customer may have called someone else.
Quote automation doesn't price the job for you. It pulls together what you already know: what similar jobs cost, what you paid for materials, how long it took. Then it lays out a draft for you to change and confirm.
Think of the Sunday-night quote. It's the one you'd love to send on Friday afternoon instead.
Drafting quotes this way is built to order. It isn't running for a client yet. The pieces behind it are different, as the next sections show.
How do material prices and price history help?
A price history shows the last price you paid for every item, with the date, so you can see whether it's recent. You quote from facts, not from memory.
Cable, sockets, breakers, conduit: the prices move. A cable you bought at one price in January may cost more now. With the history, you see the last price, who it came from and when.
This register is running today for a client. It's built from past invoices and kept up to date automatically. For you, it would be built from your wholesaler bills.
It works the other way too. If a customer says 'that's more than last time', you can show why: the cable went up.
The history also shows how prices move over time. If a supplier's price keeps creeping up, you'll notice before it eats your margin.
How do job sheets turn into invoices?
You finish a job and fill in a short job sheet: customer, what was done, materials, hours. A draft invoice is prepared from it, with a draft email beside it.
Think of an evening after a long day on site. Instead of building an invoice from scratch, you read a draft that's already filled in. You fix one line, check the total and send.
The invoicing route is running today for a client: a sheet that remembers customers and products, a ready check, the PDF made and filed, a draft invoice in the accounts with the PDF attached, and a draft email.
Invoice automation like this means jobs get billed the week they're finished, not the month after. Faster invoices mean faster payment.
What about extras and changes agreed on site?
Extras agreed on site get lost easily. 'While you're here, can you also move that socket?' Yes, and it's on nobody's paperwork.
Write it on the job sheet when it happens. A line on the sheet is all it takes. When the invoice is drafted, the extra is already there, with the price you agreed.
If extras live only in your head or in a text message, they get forgotten. Then you either do the work for free or have an awkward talk about a surprise on the bill.
A customer is always happier to see an extra on a clear sheet than as a surprise on the bill.
The robot doesn't decide whether an extra is chargeable. It only makes sure it appears on the draft so that you can decide.
A sample quote from one of your past jobs
Enter the figures from a past job you would quote the same way. The result is a sample total before tax, built only from your own numbers. It isn't a price recommendation.
How are receipts and supplier bills handled?
Supplier bills from your wholesalers arrive by email. They can be read and entered as draft bills, with the PDF filed under the supplier.
This is running today for a client. A bills robot reads the mailbox and a drop folder, recognizes invoices and credit notes, creates the draft bill in the accounting system and files the PDF. Anything it can't enter exactly goes to a person.
Receipt scanning is the next piece. A photo of a till receipt from the wholesaler counter becomes a draft expense with the image attached, sorted by month. That is built to order, on the same engine.
Picture the van glovebox. Today it's full of crumpled receipts that someone sorts at year end. With receipt scanning, you take a photo at the counter and move on.
What stays with the electrician?
Everything that needs your judgment or your name stays with you: the price, the scope, the exclusions and every certificate.
A robot can draft a quote. It can't know that the customer's consumer unit is older than it looks. You decide what to include and what to leave out.
Safety and testing certificates are yours alone. We don't prepare or sign them.
Your name is on the work. The robot never replaces that. It only tidies the paper around it.
Our rule is simple: every step starts with your approval, then you choose when it goes automatic. One command stops any robot.
How do you get started?
Start with the thing that costs you the most evenings. For many electricians, that's invoices or supplier bills.
A good first month: send one wholesaler's bills through the bills route, and prepare invoices from job sheets for a few jobs. Check the drafts, fix what's wrong, and see how much time comes back.
Don't try to fix everything at once. One job, one week, then the next.
Our AI employees are rented by the month and work with your own mailbox, folders and sheets. Your records stay in your accounts. If you stop, the workflow stops, and every document stays where it was filed.
