Can it collect panel photos before a visit?
Yes. The intake text asks for a photo of the panel and its label, the main breaker size and where the new circuit needs to go. Your estimator sees all of it on the job before driving out, and if you choose, many smaller jobs can be quoted from the photos alone.
Will it give technical advice to homeowners?
No. It collects information, answers questions you have approved, such as your service area or whether you install a certain charger brand, and books the visit. Anything about load calculations, code or safety goes to a licensed electrician on your team, and the assistant says so plainly.
Does it help with commercial and builder work?
It can. For builder and commercial clients, common builds include status updates on rough-in and inspection dates, photo records organized by job phase and invoice packets that match what the general contractor expects. How far we go there depends on how much of your revenue comes from project work.
How does it handle permits?
We set up tracking for each permit and inspection tied to the job in your software, with reminders to your office before deadlines and updates when results come in. It does not file permits with the city or county for you. It makes sure nobody forgets the next step.
Will my electricians actually use it?
The parts electricians touch are small on purpose: a voice note after a job and a quick change-order draft on their phone. Everything else runs in the background. We train your team when the build goes live, in person if you are in the Charlotte metro.
What does it cost?
A single system starts at $5,000. Whatever we propose, the price, scope and go-live date are written down before work starts, and the price guide lays out the ranges by system and package. If your estimate and job numbers cannot support a 300% first-year return, we say so instead of proposing a build.
