Synhelm for electricians

Wire the office to the job site.

Electrical work runs on drawings, licences, and accurate hours. Synhelm keeps the current drawing on every phone, warns you before a licence expires, and turns the hours on each job into an invoice.

What gets in the way

The paperwork electricians shouldn’t be doing by hand.

  • Marked-up drawings that never make it back to the office.

    Mark up a copy of any sheet on the phone and post it straight to the job chat, or email it from the business.

  • A journeyman's licence lapses and nobody noticed.

    Keep each person's certificates and licences with expiry dates; Synhelm warns you before one runs out.

  • Hours by job that don't add up at invoice time.

    Crew clock into the job itself, so timesheets show hours by job and client, ready to bill.

The tools you’ll use

Everything on the job, nothing you don’t need.

  • Blueprint reader

    Upload the PDF set and every page becomes a sheet to zoom and flip. Compare revisions, and mark up a copy to save, post in the job chat, or email.

  • Certificates and job files

    Each person's certificates and licences with expiry warnings, and a job's contracts and drawings in folders on the job.

  • Crew time clock

    Crew clock in and out of a job from their own phone with a PIN — no app store, no email accounts. Switch jobs and take breaks in a tap.

  • Timesheets and payroll export

    Pro

    Hours by job and client, with week, pay period, and month views. Export them for payroll software, with overtime by your local rules.

  • Estimates that win work

    Your logo on clean paper, with deposits, discounts, and tax. Email it from the app; clients approve and sign online, and replies come back to you.

  • Invoices and payments

    Turn the estimate into the job and the job into the invoice without retyping a line. Record partial payments and see what's owed.

  • Tasks on the job

    Tasks belong to a job with an assignee, a due date, and instructions. Crew tick them off from their phone.

  • Job costing

    Pro

    Labour at each person's rate plus expenses against the price, so you see the margin on every job while it's running.

Questions

Asked by electricians

More in the full FAQ.

Can my foreman mark up drawings but not the apprentices?
Yes. Everyone on the job can read its drawings; you turn on markups person by person.
Will Synhelm remind me about expiring licences?
Yes. Add the expiry date to a person's licence or certificate and it shows up under Needs you before it runs out.
Do my crew need to download an app?
No. They open one link or scan your QR code on any phone and sign in with a PIN. You can add it to their home screen so it opens like an app.
