How it works

How electrical contractor software runs a panel upgrade

  1. The lead comes inWeb forms, Google Ads lead forms, CallRail calls and lead emails land on one board, and each call, text and email counts as a follow-up.
  2. Walk the jobBook the visit with your own appointment type and questions, like panel size and the home’s age. Assign estimates by who’s free.
  3. Quote itPrice circuits, devices, fixtures and labor from your price book. Offer the panel alone or with added circuits as options.
  4. Signed, then permittedThe customer signs online or in person. The permit and inspection papers go in the job’s Permits folder.
  5. Crew and hoursThe weekly schedule shows each project manager and sub, crews see the scope in the crew portal, and time sheets track hours.
  6. Bill and closeBill deposits and progress payments from the payment plan. Added recessed lights become a signed change order with its own invoice.

Does ECHOPS do takeoffs from plans?

Can ECHOPS run payroll for my electricians?

Can customers pay by card?

Can I use ECHOPS as electrical estimating software?

For residential service and project quotes, yes.

What software do electrical contractors use?

Many small shops start with a calendar, a quote template and accounting software, then move to one system for leads, quotes, scheduling and invoices. ECHOPS is that kind of software for electricians doing residential work: leads on one board, quotes from your price book, permits on the job’s checklist, routes, time sheets and progress invoices clients can pay online. Takeoffs from plans are included.

Can I schedule my electricians by job and by day?

Yes. The weekly schedule shows projects by project manager and sub, service visits go on the calendar by appointment type, and the route planner puts each electrician’s stops in order and sends them to chat. Time sheets track hours, and the crew portal shows each job’s scope. More on field service scheduling.

Is there a CRM for electricians?

Yes. Every call, text and form fill lands on one lead board, follow-ups are counted for you, and the estimate books from the lead. See the electrician CRM page.
