Quoting and Invoicing Software for Electricians
An electrician's billing day is messy by nature: a $180 call-out here, two hours of fault finding there, a switchboard upgrade quoted last month that's finally been approved. Each one bills differently — and every one you invoice late is money you're waiting on.
Dashbord handles the quoting, invoicing and payment chasing so you can bill the call-out before you've left the driveway.
The jobs electricians actually bill
- Call-outs. A fixed call-out fee plus time on site. Invoice it as two line items on the spot, attach a payment link, and it's often paid before you're at the next job.
- Fault finding. Time-based work where the hours can blow out. Bill labour by the hour as its own line item so the customer sees exactly what they're paying for.
- Switchboard upgrades and bigger installs. Quote it properly first — board, breakers, labour, certification — and take a deposit so you're not fronting the materials. When the customer approves and signs online, convert the quote straight to an invoice.
- Labour and materials. Separate line items with quantities and unit prices, GST calculated automatically, inclusive or exclusive.
- Emergency and after-hours work. Different rates for after-hours call-outs are just another line item — no separate spreadsheet to maintain.
- Deposits. Ask for a deposit on quoted work, fixed amount or percentage, and the balance carries through to the final invoice correctly.
Get paid without the evening admin
Every invoice can carry a Stripe card payment link — or show a QR code on your phone and let the customer pay before you pack up. If an invoice goes unpaid, automatic reminders follow up politely on schedule, and the AI Business Manager tells you each morning which invoice deserves attention first.
Why sparkies pick software over spreadsheets
A spreadsheet doesn't tell the customer their invoice is overdue. It doesn't take card payments, doesn't log who viewed what, and doesn't convert an approved quote into an invoice without retyping. Dashbord's quoting and invoicing keep the whole job — quote, signature, invoice, payment, follow-up — in one place.
