Software an electrical contractor runs on
Smarfle holds the three things that slip when a service call and a panel upgrade land in the same week. Permit dates, phase approvals, and the wiring notes the electrician needs from last time. It works the same whether you are alone in the van or running twenty.
Electrical scheduling software
You commit crews to projects weeks ahead and then service calls arrive daily against the same people. Smarfle holds both on one calendar at their real durations, so the conflict between a rewire and a fault call shows up before somebody has to make an apologetic phone call.
Learn moreElectrical dispatch software
Your team holds different tickets and the board does not care unless you make it. Smarfle carries each electrician's qualification on their record and shows it while you are handing work out, so nobody is sent to something they legally cannot sign off.
Learn moreElectrical billing software
You price a commercial maintenance agreement annually and bill it whenever someone remembers. Smarfle puts the agreement on its own cycle with the terms held on the account, so predictable revenue starts behaving predictably.
Learn moreElectrical invoicing software
You front the permit and the parts, then wait to be paid for both. Smarfle keeps them on the job from the first visit and carries them onto the invoice at your price, so the money you laid out comes back with the labor rather than quietly staying out.
Learn moreElectrical estimating software
Your commercial fit-out quote takes half a day to build and then changes three times before anybody signs it. Smarfle keeps each version as its own document with the line items intact, so what was agreed is a signed record rather than an argument about which email was final.
Learn moreElectrical accounting software
A panel upgrade and a three-month commercial fit-out do not have the same economics, and averaging them tells you nothing. Smarfle keeps material, labor and permit cost on each job, so service work and project work can be read as the separate businesses they actually are.
Learn moreElectrical work order software
An inspector asks what was installed on a circuit you wired two years ago, and the answer is in a folder in a van that has since been sold. Smarfle keeps the job, its photographs and its test results together on the property, so compliance history is something you can produce rather than reconstruct.

Electrician call tracking
Panel-upgrade leads shop around. Call tracking records what was quoted on the phone, and missed after-hours calls get a text-back that saves the job.
Reviews and Google Business Profile
Homeowners vet electricians by rating before anything else. Automatic post-job review requests build the trust signal your license alone can't.
Website and lead follow-ups
EV-charger and rewire inquiries from your site enter the CRM with follow-up sequences attached, so no estimate dies in a voicemail box.

Best electrical software compared
Electrical contractors get pulled between project-management tools and field-service tools. The right pick depends on whether service calls or multi-week projects pay your bills.
| Platform | Starting price | Built for | What that means for a electrical business |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smarfle7-day free trial | From $19/mo | Estimates go out with an e-signature and come back approved the same day. Per-job costing tells you which work is actually paying, and Smarfle's own local directory sends you jobs on top of that. Priced for owner-operators through to multi-crew shops. | |
| ServiceTitanFull comparison | Custom quote | Enterprise electrical and mechanical shops with dedicated office staff. | The onboarding and price assume a back office. Smarfle gets a two-van shop dispatching and invoicing the same week, and texts back the calls you cannot take from an attic. |
| Knowify | $99+ /mo | Project and contract depth, covering bid packages, AIA-style progress billing, and job costing for commercial work. | Great for project shops, heavy for service work. If your day is panel swaps and troubleshooting calls, Smarfle's dispatch-first flow fits better and costs less. |
| Service FusionFull comparison | $199+ /mo | Flat-priced field service management with solid dispatch for established shops. | The flat price only makes sense past a certain size, and there is no built-in answer for where the next job comes from. Smarfle costs a fraction of that at the small end and feeds you leads from its own directory. |
| Housecall ProFull comparison | $59+ /mo | General home services with a polished homeowner experience. | Electrical-specific detail like panel notes and code-driven estimate line items live in free text. Smarfle holds panel and circuit detail in custom fields on the client, and estimates convert straight to jobs and invoices. |
Published starting prices as of August 2026. Most vendors bill these rates annually and add per-user or per-route fees; always confirm on the vendor's own pricing page.
What an inefficient electrical business looks like
Service work is forgiving and project work is not. Miss an inspection date on a multi-phase job and the whole schedule moves, which is how a profitable quarter turns into a merely busy one.
Multi-phase projects are hard to track
Electrical jobs often run across multiple visits. Rough-in, inspection, and final trim. When each phase lives on a separate paper work order, things fall through the gaps, inspections get missed, and billing gets delayed.
Permit and inspection deadlines get overlooked
Pulled permits have expiration windows. When permit numbers and inspection dates are tracked informally, you risk failed inspections, re-pulls, and fines that eat into job margin.
Technicians lack access to panel and wiring notes
A tech arriving at a return visit with no knowledge of the panel layout, prior work, or existing issues wastes time, creates safety risk, and frustrates clients who expect continuity.
Improve your electrical operations
Lead generation built in
Software that only organizes existing work leaves the biggest problem untouched. Smarfle runs its own local directory that sends real electrical repair requests to participating contractors. You review each lead before paying for it, prices are flat and published, and a repeat customer never costs you twice. It ramps up over weeks as pages rank in your area, so it rewards turning it on early.
- Pay per lead you accept, never per month
- Requests arrive by text and land in your CRM automatically
- Duplicates and your existing customers are always free
Estimates that win the bid
A panel upgrade quote sent the same afternoon beats a better price sent Thursday. Smarfle estimates go out with itemized line items, get accepted with an e-signature from the customer's phone, and can hold a deposit before you order materials. Accepted work converts to a scheduled job and an invoice in one step.
- Same-day quotes with e-signature acceptance
- Deposits collected on approval, before materials are ordered
- Automatic follow-up nudges on quotes that go quiet
Job costing without a spreadsheet
Service calls and small projects live in the same system, with parts, materials, and hours logged against each job. You see the real margin per job, per tech, and per job type, which is how you find out the troubleshooting calls are carrying the panel swaps, or the other way around.
- Parts and material costs recorded on the work order
- Time tracking rolls labor into per-job profit
- Reports split revenue and margin by service and technician
Every electrical call, handled your way
Every call is recorded against the customer it came from, so a callback starts with what was already said. You pick which mode covers which hours and change it whenever the work pattern does.
Plain forwarding
$0.04/min
Just rings your phone. Every call logged as answered or missed.
Forward with call tracking
$0.10/min
Rings your phone. Recorded, transcribed, summarized, and logged to the customer record.
Busy message + text-back
~$0.05/call
Plays your message, hangs up, and texts the caller. Replies land in your Inbox as leads.
AI receptionist
$0.25/min
The AI answers, qualifies the caller, and books the job. Great after hours if you want it.
Spam screening is included in every mode
Turn it on and unknown callers hear one sentence and press a key before the call connects. Dialer software does not press keys, so it never reaches you. How screening works
- Your customers skip it. Known clients and callers on mobile numbers are never screened.
- You are not billed for it. Screened, silent, and blocked calls cost nothing.
- One blocklist. Block a number once and it stops calling and texting.
Curious how the AI option sounds? Call (866) 355-9645 and try booking a consultation with it.
How an electrical job flows through Smarfle
Service calls and project phases both move through the same five steps, ending with a bill that matches what was actually done.
- 1
Service request comes in
Power-out calls after hours are handled by whichever mode you set for those hours. Daytime enquiries arrive by web form or staff entry, and all of them become client records.
- 2
Office books and assigns the licensed tech
Calendar shows tech availability and licenses. Work order captures the panel size, system age, and permit requirements via custom fields.
- 3
Tech rolls with route + materials
Route optimization for multi-stop service days. Tech sees prior work, panel diagrams via photos, and pulls breakers / wire / boxes from inventory before leaving the truck.
- 4
Work performed with photos + checklist
Job checklist covers shutoff, testing, label updates, and inspection-ready photos. Time tracking against billable hours; per-job expenses log permit fees and pull-permit time.
- 5
Invoice + follow-up reminder fire automatically
Auto-invoice, Stripe payment link, review request. Maintenance reminders schedule the next safety check; recurring work orders handle commercial generator service contracts.
Same flow for every electrical business, only the terminology and details change.
Where Smarfle fits an electrical contractor
Permits, inspections, and phases are what this handles. If your work carries them, this fits. If you only ever do same-day swaps, there is less here for you.

Everything Smarfle does for an electrical contractor
Three things decide whether an electrical business works. The job gets run, the phase gets billed, and the next customer finds you.
Multi-phase work orders
Break large jobs into phases with separate statuses, assigned technicians, and notes. The entire project stays on one record so nothing falls between visits.
Permit and inspection tracking
Log permit numbers, pull dates, and inspection results directly on work orders. Attach approval photos and never miss a deadline.
Panel and wiring records
Store breaker layouts, wire gauge notes, and prior work per property. Any tech dispatched to that address reviews the full history on their phone.
Safety checklists on the job
Save the inspection and sign-off steps against the service once and every job opened under it arrives carrying them. They get ticked off on site with the approval photo attached, so a commercial customer asking eight months later gets a record instead of a recollection.
Electrician CRM features that earn the next job
Somebody is still typing appointment times into a phone, counting breakers in the van, and making a note to call a customer back in eleven months. Every item on that list is something the software should be holding, and no part of it needs a person.
The evening admin of an electrical business is reminders, stock and a calendar, and none of it deserves your evening.
Panel work and rough-ins on one board
Set a service call or a rough-in and an invite lands in the homeowner's email, which spares you the second phone call confirming a time. Month and week layouts tint each electrician, so an unfilled slot is something you spot yourself.
A panel inspection a year out
Put a reminder on any date and it arrives by email or by text before that date. Finishing a job asks you for the next one right there, which is how an annual inspection survives twelve months of memory.
Wire, breakers and fittings on a running count
Wire, breakers and fittings each carry a cost and a live count that moves as jobs consume them. A shortage surfaces on the low list while there is still time to order it, rather than on the van with the crew already out.
A panel job travels down the block
Houses along one street were wired in the same decade, so upgrading a panel at one address raises the same question at four more. Hand the first homeowner a code and the discount applies itself, with credit tracking back to them and no bookkeeping from you.
Get more customers for your electrical business
Electrical lead generation
Panel upgrades and rewires are worth ten service calls. They start with a homeowner comparing electricians online. Smarfle puts your company on those pages and sends the request with the job already described. You decide which are worth the drive before any money changes hands.
Flat pricing per accepted lead
Electrical leads run about $35 each. You see the job and the ZIP first, then accept or pass free. No monthly lead budget, no bidding wars.
When leads start
We expand the directory around every business that joins, and Google needs time to rank new pages, so plan for up to two months before leads ramp up. You pay per lead, never for waiting. A Google Business Profile with real reviews brings them sooner.
Requests arrive pre-qualified
Every quote request already answers what do you need and is the power on in that area, so your callback quotes instead of interviews.
Fair by design
Your existing customers and repeat requests are always free, and a bad lead can be disputed with a refund to your wallet.

ExploreSwitching to Smarfle from another electrical CRM?
Jobs stuck between rough-in and final are the real risk, so the changeover works around them instead of halting them. We make the import from your customer list and your service pricing, bring it in for you, and send each electrician a separate invitation while the crews carry on. The team on it works from the US.
