Open Doors for electricians
Quote it, schedule it, sign it off from your phone.
Requests arrive with photos of the board. Estimates go out the same day and get approved on the customer phone. Every visit has a checklist, and the invoice is raised from the job.
The electrician who quotes at night
You are a qualified electrician who now runs a business. The work itself is fine. What eats you is everything around it: site visits to price jobs, quotes typed up at 10pm, a mix of quick fixes and multi-day rewires, apprentices who need to know where to be, and a paper trail you need to get right every time.
What you are juggling this week
- Site visits just to price a job
- Small fixes alongside multi-day rewires
- Apprentices and electricians on one schedule
- Consistent safety checks
- Quotes that go cold
What breaks, and what Open Doors does about it
These are the things electricians tell us cost them jobs, evenings and money. Each one maps to a part of Open Doors Field Services.
What you are living with“Half my evenings go on typing up quotes.”
Turn a request straight into an estimate with services and products already priced. The customer reviews and approves it online.
What you are living with“I drive out just to look at a consumer unit.”
Requests can include photos and a description, so you can price simple work without a site visit and save the trip for the jobs that need one.
What you are living with“A rewire runs over three days with different people each day.”
One job, several visits, each with its own staff. Everyone sees the same scope, notes and checklist history.
What you are living with“Every electrician does the checks a bit differently.”
Reusable checklists are completed on the visit in the mobile app, so the same steps happen on every job.
What you are living with“I never know how long a job actually took.”
Turn on Timesheets and your team starts and stops timers against each visit from the app.

One job, seen from every side
Follow a single job from the first request to the review. Each step shows whose screen you are looking at: your customer, your office or your technician.
They book on your site at any hour. The address is checked against your service areas first.
Less time driving, more time working
Pick a team member and a day. Open Doors reorders the visits you unlock using drive times, working hours, travel buffers and existing bookings, from where their day starts to where it ends. You see the proposed route and drive time before anything moves.
One technician, one day
Example route. Locked visits stay put, unlocked ones can move.
Price from photos
Requests with photos and notes let you quote simple work without a trip.
Multi-day projects
Rewires and fit outs as one job with a visit per day and the right people on each.
Consistent checks
Reusable checklists completed on every visit from the mobile app.

Optional timesheets track time against each visit.
