Electrician software for New Zealand: scheduling electricians, job records, quotes and invoices

The electrical contractor’s problem is dispatch

An electrical business rarely has one long job; it has twenty short ones, three vans, and an office deciding who goes where when the next call lands. The cost of getting that wrong is idle electricians and customers who are told “sometime this week”. ServiceCrown treats scheduling as the centre of the day rather than a calendar bolted on afterwards.

A day, from the office to the site and back

1. Morning: the boardThe schedule shows the week or the day per electrician, with unassigned jobs in their own lane. Jobs are dragged onto an electrician and a time; the portal on their phone updates.
2. Mid-morning: a new jobA call comes in for this afternoon. Ask the AI Assistant who is free at two o’clock — it answers from the live schedule, allowing for working hours, time off and the jobs already booked — and confirm the assignment it prepares.
3. On siteThe electrician opens the job in the portal: site address, description, notes. They start the timer, mark the job in progress, add a note about what they found, and mark it completed. The office records the parts used on the job as material costs.
4. Evening: nothing to write upTime is already on the timesheet from the timer, materials are on the job, and the invoice is one action away from the completed job — with GST at your configured rate and the PDF emailed to the customer.

What each record holds

Quoting the bigger jobs

Switchboard upgrades, rewires and fit-outs start as quotes with line items. Sending a quote emails the customer a summary; when it is accepted it converts to a job in one action without creating a duplicate, and the quote’s pricing carries onto the job and its invoice. Quotes track draft, sent, accepted, declined and expired, so the office can see what is waiting on a customer. Quoting and invoicing in detail.

Knowing what small jobs actually earn

Short jobs hide their margin. On Pro and Business, each job shows its labour cost (timer minutes at the electrician’s cost rate), materials and other costs against the invoiced amount, and the profitability report lists jobs by result and margin across a date range. Purchase orders to your wholesaler are received against the job, and the receipt creates the material cost line automatically. How ServiceCrown works out job cost and margin.

Built for New Zealand businesses

Invoices apply GST from your business settings (registered or not, GST number, default rate of 15% unless changed), prices are in NZ dollars, and invoices can be sent to Xero as drafts — manually, one-way, with ServiceCrown remaining the source of truth. ServiceCrown is operated by SERVICECROWN LIMITED in New Zealand.
