Electrical contractor software that handles the paperwork for you
Dispatch jobs, run compliance forms, and invoice the moment the test passes — from your phone.
Configured for electrical businesses by Magnolia Innovative Solutions.Electrical work runs on paperwork as much as it does on copper. Certificates of compliance, test results, switchboard photos, asset registers — it all has to be captured cleanly, and a paper folder in the van isn't going to cut it during an audit. ServiceM8 was built to handle this, and as a Certified Partner we configure the right forms and pricing for your contracting business.

Common headaches we solve for electrical businesses
Compliance forms keep falling behind
If your CES or COC paperwork is sitting in a glovebox, it's a problem waiting to happen. Capture it on the job card, sign digitally, sync to the cloud.
Quoting big jobs takes forever
Switchboard upgrades, solar installs, commercial fit-outs — the line items are complex. Pre-built quote templates with markup baked in turn a half-day quote into a 30-minute one.
Subcontractors don't see what they need
When a sparky needs to send a 2IC to a job, they shouldn't have to copy-paste the address into a text. Job sharing in ServiceM8 puts everything they need on one screen.
Variations get forgotten and unbilled
Verbal scope changes on-site are revenue you'll never see. Add variations as line items the moment they happen, and they show up on the invoice automatically.
How it works
The electrical workflow, end-to-end
Enquiry to quote
Build a branded quote with photos and a deposit request — customer accepts by tapping a link.
Schedule
Drag onto the right electrician's day, factoring in their certificates and licences.
On-site
Capture switchboard photos, run test forms, log defects, scan parts off the truck.
Compliance & sign-off
Certificate of compliance generated and signed digitally. Customer keeps a copy automatically.
Invoice
Invoice on-site or in batch nightly. Card payments processed in-app; Xero stays in sync.
Built for the way you work
Custom compliance forms
Certificate of compliance, switchboard inspection forms, test sheets — configured to your local standard and signable on-site.
Smart quoting
Build quotes from your catalogue with margins baked in. Customer e-signs and you can collect a deposit immediately.
Asset register
Track switchboards, solar systems, EV chargers across your customer base for service contract renewals.
Job photos and notes
Before/after, switchboard wiring shots, defects — all attached to the job card, searchable later.
Variations done right
Add scope changes mid-job. They flow into the invoice automatically and never get forgotten.
Accounting and CRM sync
Two-way Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks — plus open API for any custom integration your business needs.
“The custom certificate-of-compliance form alone saved our admin person about a day a week. Add the variations workflow and we're billing 8% more on the same jobs.”
