Electrical contractor software that runs the job from estimate to invoice
Electrical work is half service calls, half small projects - and both belong in one system. Mittro takes a job from estimate to online approval to scheduled work to paid invoice without retyping anything, keeps photo documentation of every panel on the customer record, and answers the phone 24/7 with AI so the next job books itself while you are on a ladder.
What problems does this replace?
Estimates live in one tool, invoices in another
A panel upgrade starts as a quote in a spreadsheet, becomes a job on a whiteboard, and ends as an invoice typed up days later - three chances to lose the numbers. Mittro's estimates run the whole thread: build it, send it by email or text, the customer approves online, and the approved estimate converts to a scheduled job and then an invoice with nothing re-entered.
No photo record when a question comes back
Months after the job, a homeowner, an inspector, or an insurance adjuster asks what the panel looked like and what you actually did. With the mobile app, techs capture photos of the panel, the rough-in, and the finished work as they go, and it all lives on the job record - documentation that protects you when memories differ.
Return visits fall through the cracks
Service calls close same-day, but projects do not: rough-in now, finish after drywall, then the inspection visit. When those return trips live in someone's head, they get missed. Scheduling and dispatch puts service calls and project visits on one board, so the follow-up is scheduled the moment the first visit closes.
Mr. Electric answers every call. Voicemail does not.
National chains like Mr. Electric run call centers that capture every lead while independent electricians are on site with their hands in a panel. With AI phone answering included in every plan, Scarlett answers, qualifies the caller, and books the work - so a two-van shop captures leads like a franchise without hiring office staff.
Which features matter most for this trade?
-
Estimates
Quote the panel upgrade on site, send it by email or text, and get online approval - the estimate becomes the job and the job becomes the invoice.
-
Scheduling and dispatch
Service calls and multi-visit projects on one drag-and-drop board, with return visits scheduled before they can be forgotten.
-
Customer CRM
Panel photos, past work, and quotes per property. Caller ID pops the record, so you know the house before you answer.
-
AI phone answering
Scarlett books the next job while you are on a ladder - no missed lead because both hands were busy.
-
Invoicing and payments
The approved estimate becomes the invoice - send it from the driveway and take the card on the spot.
One thread from estimate to paid
A homeowner calls about a panel upgrade - or Scarlett answers and creates the lead. You quote it with estimates, the customer approves online, and the job lands on the schedule. On site, the tech documents the work with photos on the mobile app, collects a signature, and the approved estimate becomes the invoice with payment taken on the spot. QuickBooks stays in sync the whole way.
