Trade Time HQ for electrical
We take the work order your electricians already fill out, how your office schedules and sends them out, and how finished work is checked and billed, and build them into one system. The work order reaches the electrician's phone, conduit, wire and notes come back with photos and sign-off, and the office reviews it before it is invoiced.
Runs every day today
The foundation every build starts from is Saw Time, our product for concrete cutting, in daily use: time cards with pay rules, job tickets signed on the phone, a dispatch day board, each worker's jobs on his phone, truck GPS, quotes and safety paperwork.
Built for your electrical company
Electrical is not a finished product today. The electrical screens on this page are an example configuration with sample data. What gets built for you, from that foundation, is written into your quote before any work starts.
Each work order carries the job site, the panel and circuits, and the fixtures. Electricians log conduit and wire as they go, note what was done, and get sign-off before they leave.
Today, on paper
Your work order and its material list, kept to the line.

Example configuration with sample data. An electrical build is scoped with you; it is not a finished product today.
Service, commercial, construction
A homeowner's dead circuit, a tenant improvement and a new building's rough-in are written up differently. A build follows the paperwork your shop uses for each.
One customer, one call, and the problem found on site.
Example line: Replaced failed 20 A breaker on kitchen circuit 7; tested GFCI outlets, all good.
Availability: example configuration. Scoped and quoted with you; not a finished product today.
A building or a tenant, a work order number, and a site with its own rules.
Example line: WO 2207, suite 210: 12 LED troffers on L2-14 and 16; 120 ft EMT; signed by site super.
Availability: example configuration. Scoped and quoted with you; not a finished product today.
A project, a general contractor, and work that moves by phase.
Example line: Bldg A, level 2 rough-in, 3 electricians, 24 hrs; inspection called for Friday.
Availability: example configuration. Scoped and quoted with you; not a finished product today.

From first call to go-live
Five steps, and you check the work at each one. These are the same commitments we make on every build.
A call or a visit. Bring a work order and a daily ticket and how a day really runs: who schedules, who sends the electricians out, how work gets priced and billed.
You check: that we've understood your day before anything is written down.
What we'll build, in plain words: the forms, the screens and the rules, from what we learned in discovery.
You check: that it describes your company.
The monthly price and any build fee on their own lines, and our best estimate of the timing. Nothing is built or billed until you agree to it.
You check: the quote, before anything starts.
Your forms, your rules, your electricians and trucks, your logo on what the customer signs.
You check: each form as it takes shape, against your own paper.
A few electricians run it beside the way you work now, and the results are compared every week. The field goes first and the office when it's ready.
You check: that it matches. You decide when the paper goes.
Questions electrical contractors ask
Yes, that is where every build starts. We copy your work order box for box, in your order and your words, so what prints still fits your file cabinet. Saw Time's own job ticket was built the same way, from the paper pad its crews already used.
We look at where they live today and agree in the quote what comes across. For Saw Time we brought in customers, job sites and years of invoice history from the system the company used before. What is possible for you depends on what your current system can export, and we tell you before you agree to anything.
His jobs for the day in order; directions in his own map app; tap to call the customer; the work order filled with what the office typed; places for notes, photos, material and the signature. Big buttons, a 4-digit PIN that stays signed in, and taps that wait when there is no signal.
Signed work orders arrive in the office with their photos. The office enters prices beside the work order, never on it, so the signed copy never changes. A list shows every finished job not yet billed, and a work order can go to accounting or the customer as a PDF.
What we'll build, the monthly price and any build fee on their own lines, and our best estimate of the timing. Nothing is built or billed until you agree to it. There is no public price list, because no two shops are the same.
None is live for electrical today, and we would rather say so. A QuickBooks Online connection is in development and not yet in use with a live company. For anything else you use, we look at it and quote the connection. We won't promise a connection we haven't built and tested for you.
Yes. Taps and work orders are saved on the phone and sent when signal comes back.
Estimating and takeoff, permit tracking with the city, load calculations, online booking and taking card payments in the app are not built. If you need one, tell us; it would be scoped and quoted like any other part of a build.
