Key takeaways

  1. Quote rewires, switchboard upgrades and LED retrofits on site, itemised, from the phone.
  2. Test and tag rounds run as recurring jobs, so the next visit is already on the schedule.
  3. Switchrooms and basements kill signal. Offline mode is in development; today Chippie needs a connection and is built to be quick on a thin one.
  4. Board location, circuit notes and site access save against the client and carry to the next callout.
  5. Free under 20 jobs a month, then $25 a month including two users.

Built for how electricians actually work#

  • Itemise the quote while you are still at the board. Parts and labour as separate lines, GST worked out, sent before you leave. A switchboard upgrade quoted on site is a switchboard upgrade the client can say yes to today.
  • Put the maintenance round on the schedule. Test and tag and commercial maintenance run as recurring jobs, so the visit lands on your calendar without you re-creating it each cycle. Chippie schedules the visit; the compliance judgement stays yours.
  • The callout that gets invoiced. Small jobs are the ones that quietly never get billed. Raise the invoice from the van before you drive off and the day's work is paid for rather than remembered on Friday.

How an electrical job runs in Chippie#

A sparky's week is a mix. A switchboard upgrade quoted in advance, a string of small callouts, and a maintenance run for a commercial client. Each needs paperwork moving at a different speed, and the callouts are the ones that quietly never get invoiced.

  1. Quote it on site

    Rewires, switchboard upgrades and LED retrofits itemised line by line, parts and labour separated, GST handled, sent before you leave.

  2. The client accepts

    The quote becomes a job and an invoice without anything being re-keyed.

  3. Do the work

    Circuit notes, board location and site access sit on the client, so the next callout to the same address starts with what you need.

  4. Invoice before you pack up

    Raised from the phone on site. A callout billed the day it is done is a callout that gets paid.

  5. Book the next round

    Commercial maintenance and test and tag cycles run as recurring jobs so the visit is already on the schedule.

What Chippie does not do is tell you what a job earned. There is no job costing here and none is planned. Parts and labour itemised on the quote and the invoice is what you get, and for most one to ten person shops that is the number that was actually missing.

Electricians: your questions#

Does Chippie work with no signal in a switchroom or basement?
Not yet. Offline mode is one of the features we are building now. Today Chippie needs a connection, and it is built to be quick enough that a minute of signal on the way out is enough to send a quote.
Can Chippie track test and tag due dates?
It can put the visit on your schedule as a recurring job, which is the part software is good at. It does not hold an asset register or decide your testing intervals, and you should be wary of any tool that implies it takes that judgement off you.
Can I show my electrical licence number on quotes and invoices?
Yes. Set it once in your business details and it appears on the documents you send.
Does Chippie tell me if a job made money?
No. Chippie has no job costing and none is planned. It itemises parts and labour on the quote and the invoice, so you can see what a job billed, but it does not compare that against what it cost you.
