Order Management for Electricians – from service calls to construction projects
Get control of projects, employees, and documentation – digitally and simply
As an electrician, you know the challenges: Workers showing up without information about the job, hours and materials being forgotten, photos scattered across different phones, delayed invoices, and missing documentation for electrical inspections and quality control. With digital order management, you have the entire process in one place – from receiving the job to sending the invoice and having complete documentation.
Why electricians need digital order management
Electrical work is complex. You need to keep track of high voltage, low voltage, fire alarm systems, lighting, and much more. Add to that documentation requirements from customers, electrical inspectors, and construction management. When planning, time tracking, and documentation still happen with notes, text messages, and Excel sheets, things get lost – and that costs money.
What is order management for electricians?
Order management for electricians is about digitalizing the entire work process – from receiving the job to the customer receiving the invoice and documentation.
How digital order management works in practice
Create the project
You or the office creates a project in Bidmio. Customer is selected, address entered, and job described (e.g., 'ABA fault – sound not working').
Plan employees
Assign one or more workers via the calendar. They get notification on mobile with all job details.
Register time and materials
Worker logs into the project via app, automatically tracks work time, and adds used materials by scanning or searching the catalog.
Document digitally
Take photos of the installation, fill out checklists for electrical inspection or quality control, and get customer's digital signature.
Automatic invoicing
When project closes, invoice is generated automatically with hours, materials, and any fixed price. Send directly to customer or export to e-conomic.
