Solva Systems › Electricians
Job management software for electrical contractors.
Jobs, engineers, certificates and the money in one system, built around the way your company already works rather than a template you bend to fit.
Book a conversationWhat usually goes wrong
Electrical work generates paperwork that has to be right, has to be findable years later, and mostly lives in a filing cabinet, an inbox and somebody’s van.
- Certificates live wherever they were issued. An EICR on the engineer’s tablet, a copy emailed to the landlord, and nothing against the property itself.
- Test results get typed twice. Once on site, once into the certificate software, and the second time is where the mistakes happen.
- Remedials get quoted and then forgotten. Coded C1 and C2 items that should turn into work quietly do not.
- Nobody knows what is due. Periodic inspections coming round again are only tracked if somebody keeps a spreadsheet of them.
- Per seat pricing punishes hiring. Every electrician you take on makes software that already did not fit more expensive.
What we build instead
We have built this shape before. Fenwick Heating on our home page is the same idea for a heating company: one screen in the office, one in the van, and no retyping between them. An electrical contractor gets the same engine with the certificates and the testing built for what you actually issue.
Certificates against the property
EICRs, minor works and installation certificates attached to the address and the circuit, findable in seconds years later.
Test results captured once
Entered on site, on the phone, and they become the certificate without anybody retyping them.
Remedials that become jobs
A C1 or C2 raised on an inspection turns into a quote and follows itself up.
Periodics that book themselves
Anything due for reinspection surfaces before it lapses, rather than when the customer asks.
The day, on one screen
Who is where, what is done, and which job has nobody against it.
Invoices that chase themselves
Due, reminded, chased again, paid, without anybody watching the aged debt report.
Why not one of the off-the-shelf ones
The mainstream field service tools handle electrical work reasonably, and if your company runs the way they assume they are good value. Where they usually stop short is certification: most treat it as an attachment rather than as the thing the job produces.
| Team size | Typical per-seat tool | Over three years |
|---|---|---|
| 5 people | around £45 a seat | about £8,000 |
| 15 people | around £45 a seat | about £24,000 |
| 30 people | around £45 a seat | about £49,000 |
The question is not whether the licence is cheap. It is what you are working around every day, and what that costs you in evenings. Work out your own three year figure.
How it works
We learn how you actually run. Usually a couple of calls. If it suits you we will come and spend a day watching the work move through the company.
You see it before you pay anything. We build the opening screens in your branding, with your words for things and demo data in them. Not a finished system, enough to see the shape of yours and tell us where it is wrong.
Then we build the real one. The monthly starts and takes three to six months depending on how much system there is. Every fortnight you are told where it is up to. One fee covers building it, running it, hosting it and improving it.
