Running an electrical contracting business means juggling licensed journeymen, apprentices, permit requirements, and emergency service calls—all at once. CrewHub360 gives electrical contractors a single platform to dispatch the right licensed technician to every job, track hours accurately for payroll, and collect payment on-site the moment the panel swap or service upgrade is complete. From a two-van residential shop to a multi-crew commercial outfit, every workflow from quote to closed invoice lives in one place.
In the electrical trade, sending the wrong crew member to a job isn't just inefficient—it can be a code violation. CrewHub360's skill-based dispatch engine lets you tag each technician with their license level: apprentice, journeyman, master electrician, or low-voltage specialist. When a commercial tenant calls in for a 480V three-phase panel replacement, the dispatch board automatically surfaces only the master electricians available in that zone, preventing you from accidentally scheduling an apprentice on a job they're not licensed to close. You can also layer in secondary skills like EV charger installation, generator hookups, or fire alarm work so your dispatcher always sees the full picture before dragging a job card onto a tech.
The drag-and-drop scheduling calendar gives your office staff a real-time view of every open slot, every crew member's current job status, and drive time between stops. Color-coded job types—service calls, new construction rough-in, inspection follow-ups, emergency outages—make it easy to see at a glance whether your journeymen are stacked or have room for one more service call before end of day. When a homeowner calls in a tripped breaker at 4 PM, you'll know in seconds who's closest, who carries the right license, and who has capacity—without a single phone call to the field.
Electrical work happens in commercial basements, industrial plants, and rural properties where cell signal is nonexistent. CrewHub360's mobile app is built to work offline, storing everything right on the phone, so your electricians can view their full job schedule, pull up site notes, complete checklists, log material usage, and capture customer signatures even when there's no data connection. The moment their device reconnects—whether that's back at the van, at the job site entrance, or at your shop—everything syncs automatically with no data loss and no duplicate records to reconcile.
GPS time tracking runs continuously in the background, recording when a technician arrives on site, how long they're on the clock, and when they depart. For electrical contractors who bill on a time-and-materials basis, this creates an unbroken, GPS-verified audit trail that protects you if a customer disputes billable hours. Clock-in and clock-out data feeds directly into the payroll module, so calculating regular time, overtime, and job-specific bonuses for your electricians at week's end takes minutes rather than an afternoon of cross-referencing paper timesheets.
Whether you're quoting a straightforward panel upgrade, a whole-home rewire, or a multi-phase commercial lighting retrofit, CrewHub360's quoting tool lets you build itemized estimates with labor lines broken out by license tier and material lines for wire, breakers, conduit, and fixtures. You can require a deposit before scheduling the job—useful for large installations where you're purchasing materials upfront—and collect that deposit instantly through Stripe Connect (a 0.5% CrewHub360 platform fee applies on top of Stripe's standard processing). Customers sign estimates digitally from the client portal on any device, and approved quotes convert to jobs with one click, automatically populating the schedule.
Once the work is done, generating an invoice from the completed job record takes seconds. All labor hours pulled from GPS time tracking, all materials logged in the field by your electrician, and any change orders approved through the client portal roll into a clean, branded invoice. Customers can pay by card directly through the client portal using Stripe Connect, and if they've already paid a deposit, the system deducts it automatically so the balance is always accurate. Payment data syncs to QuickBooks Online bidirectionally, keeping your books current without manual data entry or duplicate transactions.
Most electrical contractors are running QuickBooks Online for their accounting, and CrewHub360's bidirectional sync means the two systems stay in lockstep. Invoices created in CrewHub360 appear in QuickBooks automatically. Payments recorded in QuickBooks reconcile back into CrewHub360. You're not exporting CSVs, copy-pasting invoice numbers, or discovering at tax time that three months of invoices never made it to your accountant's books. The sync handles customers, invoices, and payments so your office manager and your bookkeeper are always looking at the same numbers.
The client portal gives your residential and commercial electrical customers a professional, branded window into their relationship with your company. They can view upcoming scheduled appointments, see the status of open quotes, approve estimates, review completed job reports, and pay outstanding invoices—all without calling your office. CrewHub360 also generates AI-powered customer reports after each completed job, giving your clients a plain-language summary of the work performed, any observations about their electrical system, and recommendations for future service. For residential customers especially, this kind of clear written communication after a service call builds the trust that turns a one-time panel call into a lifetime service relationship.
Yes. CrewHub360's skill-based dispatch lets you tag every technician with specific license levels and specializations. When you create a job, you can set the required skill or license tier, and the dispatch board will only show you technicians who meet that requirement as available options. This prevents accidental assignment of unlicensed workers to jobs that require a journeyman or master electrician.
CrewHub360's mobile app is built to work offline, storing everything right on the phone. Your electrician's full job schedule, site notes, checklists, and customer information are on their device before they leave the shop. They can log time, record materials, complete checklists, and capture signatures with no connection. Everything syncs automatically the moment the device reconnects to the internet.
Yes. You can require a deposit as part of the quoting workflow. Once a customer approves an estimate through the client portal, they can pay the deposit immediately by card via Stripe Connect. The deposit amount is tracked against the job and automatically deducted from the final invoice balance when you bill for the completed work. A 0.5% CrewHub360 platform fee applies on card payments, in addition to Stripe's standard processing.
CrewHub360 records GPS-verified arrival and departure times for every job. For time-and-materials work, this gives you an accurate, timestamped record of billable hours that flows directly into the invoice. If a customer questions the hours charged, you have a documented GPS audit trail. The same time data feeds into the payroll module so you're not manually reconciling timesheets at the end of the week.
Yes. CrewHub360 has a bidirectional QuickBooks Online sync that keeps customers, invoices, and payments aligned between both systems. Invoices you create in CrewHub360 sync to QuickBooks, and payments recorded in QuickBooks reconcile back into CrewHub360. You don't need to export files or manually enter data in both systems to keep your books accurate.
