Running a solo electrical business means you're the estimator, the technician, the bookkeeper, and the customer service rep — all at once. The right app can handle the business side so you can focus on the work.
What Solo Electricians Actually Need
Large contractor software like ServiceTitan is overkill for a solo electrician. You don't need dispatch management or a fleet tracker. You need:
- Fast invoicing from the job site
- Professional estimates you can send by text
- Client contact management
- Payment collection (credit card, ACH)
- Basic income tracking for tax time
