Panel upgrades, service calls, EV chargers and a rough-in that needs the inspector Thursday. TradesBackbone holds the schedule, the permit number, the inspection checklist and the invoice on one job record — and the office sees the same thing the electrician sees on the phone.
The Electrical pack is pre-selected when you start from this page.
5 workflows your electricians and your office share on one record. Everything below exists today.
The electrical pack adds a Permit # field to each job and puts your Electrical License # on the Licensing & compliance screen. When the inspector asks, it is on the phone in the customer's driveway.
An Electrical inspection checklist comes with the pack, alongside a Job completion sign-off and Site safety check. Electricians complete them on the job with photos attached, and the Electrical Inspection Report reads from the same record.
Wiring, Panel, Lighting, Inspection and Parts categories are seeded with starter items. Build the panel-upgrade estimate on site, text the link, and the customer taps Approve — with a deposit at approval if you want one. Approved estimate becomes the invoice.
Found knob-and-tube behind the drywall? Raise a change order on the job, send it, and the customer approves it from the link before the extra work starts. The revised contract value is what the invoice reads.
Membership plans (Pro) carry visits per year and a member discount. The electrical pack suggests Safety Check Plan, Plus and Total Electrical Care tiers, so an annual panel and GFCI check becomes a scheduled visit, not a hope.
Choosing Electrical at signup configures the app for electrical. It is configuration, not a separate product — you can change it in Settings.
8 starter items seeded
3, 10 or 25 users included with the plan, then $40/mo per extra user. No annual contracts, no implementation fees. Every plan starts with a free trial.
Straight answers about how TradesBackbone runs a electrical business.
Choosing the electrical pack adds a Permit # field to every job. The Electrical inspection checklist is completed on the job screen from a phone, with photos, and the Electrical Inspection Report is generated from that job.
Yes. A change order is raised against the job with its own line items, sent to the customer as a link, and approved there. The job's contract value is revised when it is approved, so the final invoice reflects the extra work.
Both. Starter includes 3 users and a solo electrician can run it from a phone. Pro and Elite include 10 and 25 users, and extra seats are $40/mo each. The dispatch board and roles are there when a second van shows up.
Jobs, notes, photos and the time clock queue offline and sync when you are back in range, on Elite. Estimates and invoices need a connection to send.
