Your Trucks Are Rolling Warehouses With No Inventory System

Parts disappear from trucks, techs make extra supply runs, and no one knows what's on which vehicle until it's too late.

The Electrical Industry at a Glance

Licensed electrical contractors — residential, commercial, and industrial wiring, panel upgrades, and maintenance.

Electrical contractors deal with strict code compliance, multi-phase projects, and AHJ inspections. Panel schedules, wire pull sheets, and as-built drawings on paper get lost between rough-in and trim — and the inspector does not accept 'we had it somewhere.'

Does This Sound Like Your Electrical Operation?

  • !Techs make supply house runs mid-job
  • !Parts shrinkage on service trucks
  • !No idea what inventory is on which vehicle

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Untracked truck inventory leads to 8–15% parts shrinkage and 2+ hours/week of wasted drive time per tech.

How We Fix Inventory & Parts Tracking for Electrical

1

Map Your Workflow

We study exactly where inventory & parts tracking happens in your electrical operation — the forms, the handoffs, the re-entry points.

2

Build a Working Prototype

Not a demo. Not a slide deck. A real, functional prototype that eliminates the pain point and works with your existing tools.

3

Prove It Before You Pay

You test the prototype on a real job. If it doesn't eliminate the inventory & parts tracking problem, you don't pay.
