For US electrical contractors
We build and run your website, and put an AI on the stretch after the work: the permit, the rough and final inspections, the utility that turns the power on, and the generator that waits on all of it. It tracks every date and prepares the forms. It never gives code advice.
Between the wiring and the power coming on sits a chain of dates held by other people: the city, its inspectors, the utility and, on a generator, the manufacturer. This is how the City of Phoenix, Arizona, writes it.
Most of the office software an electrical shop needs is already bought and paid for. We would build only the row we could not find for sale.
Every job between wired and live · Prepared, never submitted · Told where it stands, never told it meets code
Between the wiring and the power coming on sits a chain of dates held by other people: the city, its inspectors, the utility and, on a generator, the manufacturer. This is how the City of Phoenix, Arizona, writes it.

Not code or legal advice. The first five rows are the City of Phoenix, Arizona, only; the last is one generator manufacturer's own instruction. Other cities and utilities set their own steps and clocks, and we read yours before anything goes on your board. All sources read 18 Sep 2026.
Most of the office software an electrical shop needs is already bought and paid for. We would build only the row we could not find for sale.
The problems in the owner's own words, and three things we would build against them.
Every job between wired and live
One board with every permitted job still open: permit filed or not, rough booked or passed, final booked or passed, utility notified, generator activated. Sorted by the closest date, and set up for the cities and utilities you actually work with.
Prepared, never submitted
It fills in the permit application and the inspection requests from the job and the address. You or your office submit them, under your licence and your login. It never changes a date and never files anything on its own.
Told where it stands, never told it meets code
When a homeowner asks when the power comes on, it answers with the step the job is at and who acts next. Questions about breakers, wire or whether work meets code go to a licensed electrician at your shop, written down. It never answers them itself.
A homeowner calls the shop two days after a panel upgrade
The caller: Your crew finished my panel upgrade on Tuesday. When does the power company come out?
The AI: I'm the shop's AI assistant. Your final inspection with the City of Phoenix is booked for Thursday. After it passes, the city tells the utility the power can be turned on. The office will call you once it passes.
The caller: Great. While I have you, can I put a 50-amp breaker on the wire that's already there, for a hot tub?
The AI: I can't answer that. It depends on the wire, the load and the code your city uses, and it is a licensed electrician's call. I've written it down, and one of the shop's electricians will call you about it.
The caller: Fine. And the generator? It's just sitting there.
The AI: It gets activated once the permitting is complete. The manufacturer says not to do it before then. Until it is activated it won't start on its own in an outage, and the office will tell you the day it's done.
No. Whether a breaker, a wire size or a permit is right is a licensed electrician's decision, and the answer depends on the wire, the load and which code your city has adopted. When a customer asks, it writes the question down and hands it to an electrician at your shop.
It probably does most of it. Quotes, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, inspection checklists and job photos are in the software electricians already pay for. Answering the phone around the clock is sold to electricians both inside that software and on its own. We do not sell any of that. What we did not find in it is the stretch after the work: the permit, the inspections, the utility, and the generator that waits on all of it.
It prepares them. You or your office submit them under your own licence and login, so nothing goes to the city in your name without a person pressing the button.
Only the ones you work with, set up from your own permits. The example on this page is Phoenix, Arizona, because the city publishes its inspection steps. Every city and utility runs its own, and we read yours before anything goes on your board.
No. It tells them which step the job is at and who acts next. The day the power goes on belongs to the inspector and then the utility, so it never promises one.
