Electrician Software for Service and Install
One small service call or a multi day panel job, handled the same way. As many visits as the work needs, each with its own technician and checklist, all under one invoice. Zebu is $39 a month for five users.
Electrical work runs from a fifteen minute outlet swap to a week long service upgrade. Your software should not force a small call and a big install into the same rigid shape.
Zebu handles a job with one visit or a dozen the same way. Schedule as many visits as a job actually needs, each with its own technician, checklist, and status, all rolled up under one quote and one invoice. The customer approves and pays online, and the whole thing syncs to QuickBooks.
What running an electrical business actually looks like
A panel upgrade is four days of work across two technicians, but it is one job and one invoice.
Add as many visits to the job as the work needs. Each visit has its own date, technician, and checklist. The job carries one quote and generates one invoice at the end.
A service call quote has real material cost in it and you want your margin before it goes out.
Every quote line has a cost and a price, and the builder shows live profit margin as you add lines.
A rough in visit has to pass before the next stage is scheduled, and the office needs to know it did.
Each visit has its own checklist and status. The technician marks the visit complete from the field, and the office sees it without a call.
The customer wants to approve the install quote and put money down.
The customer signs and pays the deposit online in one step, and the job lands on your schedule. See how it works
The Zebu features that matter most for electrical
Multi visit jobs under one invoice
A job can have one visit or a dozen. Each has its own technician, date, checklist, and status. One quote in, one invoice out, however many days the install took.
Line item cost, price, and live margin
Every quote line carries a real cost. The builder shows your profit margin as you build the quote, so a material heavy service upgrade never surprises you.
Drag and drop dispatch board
Every technician's day as time blocks with real driving routes. Move a visit to another technician by dragging it.
Customer portal with deposits and signatures
The customer approves the quote, signs, and pays a deposit online in one step. Invoices are payable from the same portal.
QuickBooks Online sync on every plan
Invoices, payments, refunds, and processing fees post to QuickBooks two ways, no add on required.
Five users included, then $9 a month per additional user. QuickBooks Online sync, automation, online booking, and a customer portal are on every plan. A 14 day free trial needs no credit card.
Common questions
What software is best for an electrical contractor?
For an electrical contractor doing both service calls and installs, the key is software that handles a one visit job and a multi day job the same way. Zebu does that, with multi visit jobs under one invoice, at $39 a month for five users.
Can Zebu handle a multi day electrical install as one job?
Yes. A job can have as many visits as the work needs, each with its own date, technician, checklist, and status. The job carries one quote and generates one invoice at the end, no matter how many days or technicians it took.
Does Zebu show margin on an electrical quote?
Yes. Every quote line has a cost and a price, and the quote builder shows live profit margin as you build it, so you see your number on a material heavy service upgrade before you send it.
Can customers sign and pay for an install online?
Yes. The customer opens the quote in their portal, signs it, and pays the deposit in the same step. The job is scheduled the moment they approve.
How much does electrician software cost?
Small business electrical tools generally run from around $40 to a few hundred dollars a month depending on user count. Zebu is $39 a month for five users, then $9 a month per additional user, with QuickBooks sync included.
Can I import my job history into Zebu?
Yes. Zebu imports your client list, job and invoice history, and quotes from a CSV export. The Pro plan includes a hands on migration handled by our team.
Does this software work with Xero?
Yes. Zebu syncs with Xero as well as QuickBooks Online. Invoices with tax rate mapping, payments recorded to your bank account, refunds as credit notes, Stripe processing fees, and customers (including an import of your existing Xero contacts) all sync, and technician hours can post to Xero Projects. Xero sync is an $8 per month add on per company on any plan, and a company connects Xero or QuickBooks, one at a time.
The bottom line
Electrical work does not fit one shape. A tool that treats every job as a single fixed visit makes the install work harder than it needs to be, and a tool built only for big installs is overkill for the service calls.
Zebu handles both from the same screen for $39 a month with five users. Start a free trial and run a real install and a real service call through it.
