The CEF receipt, filed before the van door shutsPhotograph it once. The agent reads the vendor and amount, files it to the right job, and chases anyone who forgets at 5:30.

“Is the tester still in calibration?”
EICR or board change in the notes? The morning brief loads the test instruments, lock-off kit and board labels — with the calibration due date printed right there, pulled from your policy file.
“Can I do the loft run on my own?”
Your two-man rule, enforced automatically: loft, riser or live-adjacent work in the notes means both names go on the visit and both get the brief. No lone working by accident, ever.
“Whose fob is this?”
Communal and landlord jobs get the fob collection bolded in the morning brief — and a return reminder the next morning naming the building, to both team members.
“Can I isolate the whole block?”
Answered from your policy: never without the office confirming with the freeholder. If your policy file doesn't cover it, the question escalates to you — and your reply becomes tomorrow's policy in one tap.
“Where do I send the test sheets?”
Photograph them at the bench. The agent recognises paperwork and files it to Certs & Test Sheets, tagged to the job, same day — ready for the certificate to go out with the invoice.
“What did Marcus spend at CEF?”
Nothing to ask — the counter receipt was photographed, read and filed the moment he got back in the van: “Receipt — Marcus Bright — CEF £86.40.”
Every scenario below is drawn from the working system — configured for electrical contractors. The conversations show exactly what your crew would see on their phones.
Full-day EICR at a rental with a 10-way board. What does your engineer actually need to know before he leaves?
The brief pulls what matters from the notes: the agent's fob, isolation permissions, the tenant's situation — plus the test kit list with its calibration date. Basic hand tools and steps never clutter the list; the van always carries those.
Everything he needs, nothing he doesn't, readable while the kettle boils.
Your spark spots a 40-year-old rewireable fuse board while swapping a socket. A £1,500 board change is standing right there — does it ever reach your quote book?
Straight into the agent, that's where. He tells it what he's seen; it asks for the photo and the details your office needs to quote a board change; a tidy lead card lands in Quotes & Leads before he's packed up.
The customer gets a quote while they're still interested — not a month later when they've forgotten your name.
An apprentice, alone, wondering whether to isolate a communal supply. Would you rather he guessed — or asked?
He asks the agent, because it's faster than ringing anyone. It answers from your policy file: never without the office confirming with the freeholder. Beyond the script? It escalates to you, and your answer is saved as policy with one tap.
Every answer teaches your standards. New starters learn the way you work on the job — not by trial and error on a live board.
How many concierge fobs and agent keys are floating around your vans right now?
Yesterday's communal lighting job used the concierge's riser fob. This morning, both team members' briefs open with the return line, in bold, naming the building — and it stays there every morning until the fob's logged back.
Keys and fobs are the third R: things that must return. The agent never forgets them. People do.
Why are you texting five people about receipts when only three worked today?
At half five, only the crew who actually worked get the nudge: anything on the company card, photo of each receipt. The two who were off hear nothing.
Small thing? Multiply it by every working day of the year, and it's your Friday afternoons back.
Three email automations we build most often for electrical contractors — written once in your voice, sent forever at the right moment.
Board change quotes are big-ticket and slow decisions. Automatic, polite persistence keeps you front of mind without you lifting a finger.
The certificate email doubles as a review request — one automation, two jobs, sent the moment the paperwork's filed.
The system remembers every certificate expiry date and invites the landlord back before the deadline — repeat work on autopilot.
A free thirty-minute audit: we’ll map your week against the Three Rs and hand you a written plan — the three automations that pay back fastest in an electrical firm. From £995.
