BOSBusiness Software for Electricians in the UK
Electricians juggle callouts, installations, and compliance paperwork every day. The right software keeps certificates and job records in order without slowing you down on-site.
Certificate and test record management
Store EICR, EIC, minor works, and PAT test certificates against each client and property, so you can find any document in seconds — not just for you, but for landlords and letting agents who ask. No more searching through old emails for a certificate issued two years ago.
Scheduling jobs by property, not just customer
Electrical work is often tied to a specific installation or property. A calendar that tracks jobs by property reference makes repeat visits and follow-up work far easier to manage, particularly for landlords with multiple rental properties.
Fast, professional quotes and invoices
Send a branded estimate from the job site and let clients accept and pay a deposit online — no back-and-forth needed. A professional-looking quote also helps win jobs against competitors still texting prices from a notepad.
Staying on top of fault-finding jobs
Record fault descriptions and circuit details directly on the job card, keeping a clear audit trail for warranty and insurance purposes. If a customer calls back six months later about the same issue, the full history is right there.
Tracking certificate expiry and renewal reminders
EICRs and other certificates have expiry dates that matter to landlords and letting agents. Storing expiry dates against each certificate means you can proactively contact clients when a renewal is due, turning compliance into repeat business rather than waiting for them to remember.
Managing a growing team of electricians
As you take on apprentices or additional electricians, assigning jobs and tracking who completed which certificate becomes essential — both for quality control and for answering any query about who carried out specific work.
Common questions
Can I store EICR and PAT test certificates digitally?
Yes — certificates can be uploaded and linked to the specific customer and property, with reference numbers and dates, so they're always retrievable instantly instead of searching through paper files or old emails.
Does electrician software help with landlord and letting agent requests?
Storing certificates by property means when a letting agent asks for the latest EICR on a specific address, you can find and send it in under a minute.
Can I send quotes and take deposits from site?
Yes — mobile-first invoicing lets you send a branded estimate from your van or the job itself, and the client can accept and pay a deposit online before you've even left.
Is this suitable for a sole trader electrician, or only bigger firms?
It works for both. A sole trader benefits from faster invoicing and organised certificates, while growing firms add staff scheduling and permissions as the team expands.
