We run both residential service and commercial projects. Can one system handle both?

It should, and separately. Intake identifies job type, property type, and whether the caller is a homeowner, a GC, a property manager or a facilities lead, then routes each down its own path — service calls to dispatch, commercial and bid work to your project side with different questions, different response templates and different follow-up cadence.

Will it help with permits and inspections?

It handles the coordination, not the filing. Permit applications, approvals, inspection dates and re-inspection items become tracked steps with owners and due dates, and the system nudges when a job is waiting on an AHJ, when an inspection is scheduled, and when a correction item is still open. Crews stop showing up to a site that isn't ready.

How much of the quote follow-up can actually be automated?

The chasing, all of it — the recap, the reminders, the answer-the-common-objection touches and the final decision prompt. What stays human is the conversation when the customer replies, which is where you actually want your estimator's time going.

Do we have to leave our current software?

No. We build around ServiceTitan, Jobber, Knowify, Procore, QuickBooks and estimating tools like Accubid or a well-worn spreadsheet. The automation connects what you already run rather than asking your team to relearn their day.

Do you serve my area?

Yes. Karteric works with electrical contractors across the United States, residential, commercial and industrial. Everything is deployed and supported remotely.

Electrical

Automation that closes the quote and clears the inspection

Electrical work lives or dies on follow-up and coordination — the panel upgrade quote that never got a second call, the crew sent to a site the inspector hasn't cleared, the commercial lead answered with a residential script. Karteric™ builds the systems that keep quotes moving and jobs sequenced.

Start with a conversation

The reality for electrical contractors

Most electrical shops don't have a lead problem — they have a follow-up problem. Service upgrades, EV chargers, generators and panel replacements are considered purchases. The homeowner gets three quotes, thinks about it for two weeks, and awards the job to whoever was still politely present at the end. Estimators are on job sites all day, so the second and third touches simply don't happen.

Routing is the other quiet leak. A property manager with twelve buildings and a homeowner with a flickering outlet come in through the same phone number and get the same treatment. Commercial and bid opportunities need different questions, a different response time and a different person — and when they don't get it, a five-figure opportunity gets handled like a two-hour service call.

Then there's the coordination tax. Permits pending, AHJ scheduling, utility disconnects, inspection windows, correction items, and a crew whose day depends on all of it lining up. When one step slips and nobody's tracking it, a truck and two electricians spend a morning on a site that wasn't ready — and the reporting that would have caught it takes a Sunday afternoon to assemble by hand.

What automation does for electrical contractors

Five systems aimed at the two places electrical work leaks money: quotes that go quiet and jobs that fall out of sequence.

Quote follow-up sequences that finish the conversation

Every proposal starts its own cadence — a same-day recap with scope in plain language, a financing or rebate note where it applies, an answer to the objection that job type always raises, and a direct decision prompt before it goes stale. It stops instantly when the customer replies.

Quotes get an actual answer instead of aging out, and your estimator only spends time on live conversations.
Lead routing by job type and customer

Intake identifies whether it's residential service, a panel or EV install, new construction, or a commercial and property-management request, then routes each to the right person with the right questions asked up front — load details, panel photos, access hours, COI requirements.

Commercial and project work gets a project response, and nothing valuable gets processed like a routine trouble call.
Permit and inspection coordination

Permit submissions, approvals, utility coordination, inspection dates and correction items become tracked steps with owners and due dates. The system flags anything waiting on an AHJ, confirms inspection windows with the customer, and blocks a crew from being scheduled to a site that isn't cleared.

Fewer wasted rolls to sites that aren't ready, and jobs stop parking in limbo between phases.
Reporting without the Sunday spreadsheet

Quotes issued, close rate by job type, average days to decision, jobs waiting on permits, revenue by crew and aging receivables assemble themselves and land in your inbox on a schedule — plus alerts when a number drifts outside the range you set.

You run the week on current numbers instead of the impression you formed on Tuesday.
Review automation tied to completed work

Once a job passes inspection and the invoice clears, the customer gets a review request naming the electrician who did the work. Weak responses route to you privately first, and commercial customers get a referral and repeat-work prompt instead of a public review ask.

Consistent, recent reviews on the residential side and warmer repeat conversations on the commercial side.

We don't sell a boxed electrical package. We start with how work actually reaches you and how it moves through permitting, scheduling and close-out — because a service-heavy residential shop and a commercial bid house need almost nothing in common. Proven components where they fit, custom everywhere your workflow is your own.

The payoff

Higher close rate on the quotes you already wrote

You've already paid for the lead and the site visit. Structured follow-up over the weeks a customer actually takes to decide converts a meaningful share of quotes that currently expire in silence — the cheapest revenue available to an electrical contractor.

Bigger jobs handled like bigger jobs

Routing commercial and project inquiries to the right person with the right questions, fast, changes which opportunities you win. One additional property-management relationship can outweigh a month of service calls.

Fewer dead crew hours

Every trip to a site that wasn't permitted, inspected or ready costs payroll, fuel and a slot another customer wanted. Tracking the sequence automatically converts those lost mornings back into billable work.

How we work

Discovery first. We won't design routing rules before we've seen how a week of work reaches your board.

Intelligent by design

We map intake, estimating, permitting and scheduling as they really run — including the parts that only work because one person keeps them in their head.

Outcomes over outputs

Success is close rate, cleared inspections and crew hours on billable work — not a count of automations shipped.

Human at the center

Your estimators and electricians keep the technical judgment and the customer relationship. The system does the chasing and the tracking.

Future-proof

Built to hold up as you add crews, take on more commercial work, or change estimating software next year.
