One Platform from Panel to Payment
Electrical contractors need to track licenses, manage apprentice ratios, coordinate with inspectors, and keep multi-site projects profitable. WorkSkedge connects scheduling, compliance, field documentation, and job costing in one platform.
Built for electrical contractors with 20-150 employees running commercial, industrial, and service operations.
Licenses, Ratios, and Permits Without the Chaos
Electrical work demands compliance tracking that most general tools ignore. WorkSkedge was built to handle the complexity of licensed trades.
The Disconnected Way
✗ License expiry tracked in spreadsheets (if at all)
✗ Scheduling doesn't check qualifications
✗ Permit tracking disconnected from job progress
The WorkSkedge Way
✓ License expiry alerts with renewal tracking
✓ Only qualified electricians shown when scheduling
✓ Custom fields for permits and inspection tracking
Connected Modules for Electrical Teams
Every module works together. Track licenses, schedule only qualified crews, document inspections, and bill with accurate labor costs -- all connected.
License & Certification Tracking
Track Master Electrician, Journeyman, and Apprentice licenses per employee. Expiry alerts ensure no lapsed certifications on active jobs.
- License numbers and expiry dates
- 30-day expiry warning alerts
- Verification status for compliance audits
Qualification-Based Scheduling
Set skill requirements on work orders. System filters to show only licensed, available electricians. Prevent compliance gaps before they happen.
- Skill-based crew filtering
- Conflict and vacation detection
- Draft-then-publish workflow
Custom Fields for Permits
Add custom fields for permit numbers, inspector names, inspection dates, and compliance codes. Every work order carries the data you need.
- Permit number tracking per work order
- Inspector name and contact fields
- Dropdown, text, date, and checkbox types
Timesheets for Certified Payroll
Daily timesheets with configurable rounding. Auto-populate from schedule. Export for payroll processing or prevailing wage documentation.
- Daily granularity for compliance
- Time rounding rules (5/10/15 min)
- Manager lock and batch processing
Inspection Documentation
Field crews document installations with photos before inspectors arrive. Completion reports verify scope checklist items and capture sign-off.
- Before/after photo documentation
- Scope checklists with verification
- Manager approval workflow
Job Costing & Invoicing
See true cost per job with burdened labor rates, material POs, and subcontractor costs. Invoice with full visibility into margins.
- Labor burden calculation (base + benefits)
- Material costs from POs
- Budget vs. actual per work order
How Data Flows for Electrical Operations
