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 invoice without retyping anything, keeps job photos and documents on the record, and puts service calls and project visits on one schedule. A built-in phone line with AI answering is being activated for founding partners first.
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 money thread: build it, email it, the customer approves online, and the approved estimate converts to an invoice with every line carried over.
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. Photos and documents attach to the job record in Mittro, so the record outlives anyone's memory. Capturing photos straight from the mobile app is not built yet; today they are uploaded through the web app.
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 schedule, with an unscheduled queue for the visits that do not have a date yet.
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. AI phone answering is built for that gap: once activated, Scarlett will answer when you cannot, qualify the caller, and leave a draft job for your office. It is not live yet; it is included from Business and a $49 add-on below that.

One thread from estimate to paid
A homeowner calls about a panel upgrade. You quote it with estimates, the customer approves online, and the job goes onto the schedule. The tech works it from the mobile app (in development, not in the app stores yet) - status, notes, clock in and out - and the approved estimate becomes the invoice, with payment by card online. Once your phone line is activated, the caller's record will open as the phone rings.
QuickBooks sync is on the roadmap. Shops that run HVAC or plumbing alongside electrical manage every trade under one account - see HVAC software and plumbing software.
