Run your electrical business on Podium

Schedule around the work each tech can do

A service call, panel upgrade, and generator install can call for different skills and amounts of time. Podium’s electrical field service management software shows your dispatcher each tech, job, and open slot. Larry books using the job types and skills your business has set up.

Keep approvals with the estimate

Your electrician can create an estimate in the field and send it for approval by text. Your office can see which estimates are open and which work the customer has approved before scheduling the next step.

Give the crew the customer history

Podium’s built-in CRM keeps past conversations, service visits, equipment details, and job notes connected to the customer and property. Your office can see what was discussed, while electricians can review earlier work from their phones before the next visit. Your licensed team remains responsible for code decisions, permits, and inspections.
