Electrical contractor software helps electrical companies manage work orders across multiple concurrent job sites, coordinate crews and apprentices, track permit and inspection documentation, log materials per project, and send accurate invoices based on actual labor hours and parts costs. Commercial buildouts, residential service panel upgrades, and multi-site maintenance contracts all run on different timelines and documentation requirements. The right platform handles them all without a separate system for each.
IRONGRID is electrical contractor software built for field-based teams. Use it as your electrician CRM to keep client records, permit history, and service documentation organized, your electrical scheduling software to assign crews across multiple sites and track phase status, and your invoicing tool to close out work and collect payment without delay. The app for electricians works on any device, requires no installation, and supports the phase-based job tracking that electrical projects actually require.

Built for the way electrical businesses work
Every tool you need to run your jobs from first call to final payment.
Work Orders Across Multiple Sites
Manage residential, commercial, and industrial jobs simultaneously. Assign electricians to each site, set schedules, and track progress without losing visibility.
Permit & Inspection Documentation
Attach permits, inspection reports, load calculations, and signed completion forms directly to each work order. Track inspection status by phase (rough-in, service entrance, and final) so every job's documentation is complete before billing.
Materials & Fixture Tracking
Log wire, breakers, panels, conduit, and fixtures against each job. Track what was used versus what was quoted so your material costs stay accurate.
Crew Hours & Labor Tracking
Track hours worked by each electrician on every job. Labor hours feed directly into cost calculations, making it easy to bill accurately and analyze job profitability.
Phase-Based Subtask Checklists
Break electrical projects into phases: rough-in, service panel, finish work, final inspection. Mark each phase complete so your team always knows what's next.
Role-Based Access for Your Team
Give admins full control, managers visibility across all jobs, and field electricians access to only their assigned work orders. Unlimited team members on every plan.
QuickBooks Integration
On Pro and Business plans, push invoices from IRONGRID to QuickBooks in one click. Clients are created as QuickBooks Customers automatically. Keep your field management and accounting in sync without manual re-entry.
How electrical contractors use IRONGRID
A general contractor calls Monday morning to confirm your crew is starting a commercial tenant buildout on Wednesday. The project manager opens IRONGRID, creates the work order with the site address and scope, breaks it into phases (rough-in, panel installation, finish wiring, final inspection), assigns the lead electrician, and sets the start date. The electrician gets the full job details on their phone before they've ever walked the site.
On site, the crew logs their hours each day and adds every material used: wire gauge and footage, breakers, boxes, conduit runs. Those entries feed directly into the job's cost record. When the final inspection passes and the work is done, the office generates the invoice from the completed work order and sends it the same day. The client gets a payment link in their inbox without waiting for a paper invoice to arrive by mail.
For electrical contractors with commercial service agreements (lighting maintenance contracts, panel inspection programs, or tenant on-call accounts), IRONGRID manages the recurring schedule automatically. Set the visit frequency, and the upcoming service calls appear on the schedule without anyone creating each one by hand. Every visit logs its own materials, labor, and notes, so the client's record stays current.
