For Electricians
Create quotes and invoices for electrical installations
Whether it's a new installation, a repair, or a short-notice fault callout: electrical businesses often calculate a mix of hourly rate, small materials, and individual devices. OfferPilot reflects this structure using your own price list instead of rigid flat-rate templates.
Combine hourly rate, materials, and flat fees
Many electrical jobs consist of labour time, small materials, and individual larger items such as switches, distribution boards, or devices. You store these items once in your price list with a unit and price, and combine them freshly for each job.
For unusual or first-time items, it stays visible that they aren't yet in the price list, so you can briefly check them before sending.
React quickly after the site visit
During an on-site visit, response time often decides who gets the job. You can capture the discussed work as keywords right afterwards and get a quote draft you can review and approve on your phone, instead of typing it up at the office desk in the evening.
Invoicing with the Swiss QR code
Once the work is finished, you create the invoice using the same customer and line-item data. If IBAN, address, and company details are on file, OfferPilot automatically generates a valid Swiss QR invoice that your customers can pay directly through their banking app.
