Why electricians switch
Where the money
actually goes
Most sparkies quote from a notepad and a memory of what the last similar job cost. The number is usually close, but the twenty minutes finding the old quote, the retyped client details and the chase for current cable pricing all happen at 9pm, unpaid.
Swiftscope prices the things that actually move an electrical number: points, runs, board work and access. You count them once, on site, and the quote is built as you go.
What generic job software gets wrong
- A blank line-item table with no idea that a downlight has a grade, a supply arrangement and sometimes a provisional sum
- No concept of access, so a 1960s tile roof with a crawl-through is priced identically to a new-build ceiling space
- Cable priced as a lump rather than by the metre, which is fine until the run to the shed is thirty metres
What we ask for instead
The fields that actually move the number.
- Power points, light points and switches, counted straight off the plan
- Downlights by grade, with client supply or a provisional sum where the fitting is not chosen yet
- Cable runs metre by metre, so a long run to the shed is not absorbed into a round number
- Switchboard upgrades, RCBO by full board or per pole, and three-phase
- Exhaust fans, and trench metres where the run goes underground
- Roof and subfloor access multipliers, because a 1960s tile roof is not a new-build ceiling space
Getting started
Set up in minutes,
not a fortnight
The reason most tradies never finish setting up job software is the data entry nobody warns them about. Swiftscope starts from the price file your supplier already sends you.
Upload your wholesaler price file as a CSV and Swiftscope reads the columns itself: description, unit, cost, supplier and SKU. GPOs, switches, downlights, cable by the metre and RCBOs land in your pricebook in one go.
Save the job you quote most often as a package. After that it is one tap, not a rebuild.
Your hourly rate, margin and terms become the baseline on every quote. Change them once and everything after follows.
Example package
Standard bathroom rough-in
Exhaust fan, two downlights, one GPO, switch and the cable run, saved once and dropped into every bathroom you quote after that.
72 items
Imported from one supplier CSV
Materials and labour stay split, so a supplier price rise shows up in your margin instead of hiding in it.
How the quoting works
Quoted before you
leave the driveway
The quote that wins is usually the one that arrives first, while the job is still fresh in the client's head. Everything below happens standing in the job, on a phone, one handed.
Count on site
Walk the job and tap in points, switches and downlights, or mark them straight onto the plan.
Set the runs and access
Cable metres, trench metres, roof and subfloor access. The multipliers do the work you would otherwise do in your head.
Board and extras
Switchboard upgrade, RCBOs by board or per pole, three-phase, exhaust fans.
Send before you leave
Margin applied, terms attached, PDF to the client from the driveway.
Against a spreadsheet: no hunting for the last similar job, no retyping client details, no formatting. Against a desktop tool: no waiting until 9pm, which is the real reason quotes go out late or not at all.

8 downlights, priced and ready
AI that knows your trade
Two ways in, both on site
Swiftscope runs a different prompt for each trade, so it is reading your plan and listening to your description with your work in mind. You confirm every number before it reaches a client. The AI drafts, you decide.
Mark up the drawing
Upload the electrical plan and the AI pre-read picks out GPOs, light points and switch locations before you start clicking. You confirm or correct every item, so a misread symbol never reaches the client.
Or just talk
Describe the job out loud, walking the site. Swiftscope turns it into priced line items you can correct before sending.
"Twelve downlights through the living and dining, six new GPOs, switchboard upgrade with RCBOs, and a run out to the shed about twenty-five metres."
Variations that stick
The switchboard that turns out to be a Federal Pacific, or the ceiling space with no access. Raise it as a variation, get it signed on the spot, and it flows through to the invoice.
After they say yes
The quote becomes
the job
The quote becomes the job. Schedule it, assign your apprentice, track hours against the estimate, raise a variation when the board turns out to be a Federal Pacific, then invoice and push to Xero without retyping a line.
Nothing is retyped between quote, job and invoice, which is where most double-entry and most disputes come from.
Schedule and crew
Put the job in the calendar, assign who is on it, and see the week on a map so you are not crossing town twice.
Dockets and variations
Day works signed on the spot on the client's phone, and variations accepted in writing before the extra work starts.
Invoice and Xero
Deposits, progress claims and final invoices built from the quote, pushed straight to Xero rather than exported and re-keyed.
Margin, job by job
Hours and materials tracked against what you quoted, so you find out which jobs make money while you can still do something about it.
$2,139 profit
Tracked automatically across jobs
$45 a month. That is the whole price.
No per-user fee, so putting your apprentice on it costs nothing. No per-job credits, so a flat-out month costs the same as a quiet one. No per-lead charge on directory enquiries.
