Managing an electrical business means balancing the books just as much as getting on the tools. Most electricians spend 5-10+ hours a week on admin work that could be spent on jobs, or enjoying time off the tools. Fergus cuts that admin by over 50%. Invoice instantly, accurately and get paid faster with Fergus.

Electrician invoicing software is our digital tool that allows electrical contractors to create, deliver, and track invoices from any device.
These software tools are designed around the practical workflow of electrical jobs, accounting for job card outlining, materials sourced from electrical wholesalers, compliance certificates, and on-site payment methods.
Electrician software shouldn’t just ‘save time,’ it should transform how cash, materials, and compliance flow through a business.
Most electricians have to manage the same job four times, at four different stages. You have to log a job sheet, prepare a quote, create an invoice, and then input it all into your accounting software.
The ideal tool merges three of those steps into one. With the right software, you can use job cards to fill out an invoice for labour hours, materials, and supplier costs, and head to a worksite with the paperwork already completed. Quotes can also be integrated into invoicing and then synced with a preferred accounting software like Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks.
Quoting software connected to job ticketing and invoicing not only saves you time but also integrates seamlessly into your workflow.
Skip the 30-day wait for payment by getting paid on the day. The right software allows you to invoice immediately after a job is complete and collect payment via tap-to-pay on your phone or a QR code on the invoice. There should be no more chasing up payments when your software can send automated chase SMS reminders to stragglers.
Chasing up a payment for a job you did a month ago is labour-intensive and leaves you without payment for far too long. With features like Fergus Pay, you can process fees on-site, immediately after a job is finished.
Chances are, you won’t know if a job was profitable until weeks after the invoice is paid and processed. Using the right software means profitability can be calculated before a customer is even invoiced. Quality invoicing tools can assess labour costs, supplier costs, and margin using the job card, allowing you to adjust pricing as needed before invoicing.
Don’t let your margin calculations fall by the wayside; instead, ensure your job costs align with your billing before the job is done.
Processing compliance certificates and test reports is an important part of completing a job. It can also be a headache to hunt down the correct forms and waste hours that could have been minutes. Choosing a software tool that digitally generates the correct form and attaches it directly to the invoice is a game-changer. Not only will it save you work, but the customer will also receive all the correct documents in a single package.
Avoid an audit call by keeping a clear and secure record of your clerical work in one place.
Electrician software is a digital toolkit that helps you manage jobs, customers, schedules, and payments in one place - no more juggling multiple apps or paper.
It gives you real-time visibility into every job, cuts admin time, minimises errors, and actually helps you see which jobs make you money - not just eat up your hours.
Your books can keep themselves when you sync your accounting software with your invoicing. Contacts and payments can be consolidated across platforms with a two-way sync between Fergus and Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks. You can further streamline your business data with Zapier to integrate with 100+ other tools.

The ‘best’ invoicing software for electricians primarily depends on your business size. Running a business from solo operator to 100 staff Fergus can help manage your invoicing from the start of a job and easily balance material, labour and supplier costs in its programming. Solo operators sometimes wonder if they require job management software. From our experience, it's very easy to burn time, wasted on juggling Excel, notes, photos app and the variety of tools that don't talk to each other. Job management software puts everything you need in the one place, reduces your admin and puts more time back in your day. This time saving often delivers a positive ROI for your trades business.

At Fergus, our pricing is designed to suit your business size and capacity. Our plans are month-to-month charged per-user with no lock-in contracts, setup fees, or caps. We also offer a 14-day free trial with no credit card necessary, so you can decide if Fergus is the right invoicing software for your electrical business.
Yes, you can use generic invoicing software as an electrician, but it will only support invoicing, not workflow integration. With generic tools, there are no job cards, no supplier invoice imports, no compliance certificate attachments, and limited mobile capability. These limitations can work for one off jobs with simple job flow processes, but once you’re managing multiple jobs, staff members, and any supplier invoices, you’ll fall behind quickly. Trade-built tools, like Fergus, save time and are designed for your work style.
There are 7 key features to look for in an electrician invoicing software that are non-negotiable:
It’s rare that an invoicing tool ticks all these boxes, but Fergus is amongst the few that do.
Yes. All the best invoicing tools support on-site payment methods. Whether that’s tap-to-pay on your phone with no card reader needed, a QR code, an emailed invoice, or an online card payment link, you should be able to process payments on the spot through your chosen software.
With Fergus Pay, you can handle each of these processes seamlessly. Fergus also updates payment status across the system and reconciles it with your accounting software without manual input.
