Electrical dispatch software that gets the right electrician to the job.
Book a job, let auto-assign pick a electrician by turn, workload or distance, and send everything they need to their phone. The customer hears from you at every step.
How electrical dispatch works in Taskr
- 1
Book the job
Every job, from a power point swap to a switchboard upgrade, goes on one board. Mark a job urgent and it jumps to the front, so the office sees the whole day in one place.
- 2
Auto-assign picks the electrician
Set each crew to take turns, give the job to whoever has the fewest open jobs, or send it to the member closest to the site: nearest start point, inside their territory, or who visited last. Auto-assign only picks a electrician who holds the licence the job needs.
- 3
The job lands on their phone
The electrician gets a push notification with the job details, site address, access instructions and safety requirements, and the job works offline once it's on the phone.
- 4
The customer hears from you
Booking confirmations, reminders, on-my-way messages, reschedules, cancellations and completion notices go out by SMS or email, so nobody rings the office asking where the electrician is.
- 5
The office watches it happen
Job status updates arrive on the board as the electrician works, so the office can see what's running late and move the next job without a phone call.
Dispatch and more
Everything included with Taskr for Electrical Contractors
On-Site Quoting
Build professional quotes from your phone while you're still at the customer's switchboard. Pre-loaded materials from your preferred wholesalers, automatic labour rate calculations based on job complexity, and margin targets applied per quote. Customers receive a branded PDF via email or SMS before you leave the driveway, cutting average quote turnaround from days to under five minutes.
Job Scheduling & Dispatch
Drag jobs onto your team's calendar with full visibility of each sparky's availability, location, and licence qualifications. Technicians receive push notifications with job details, site address, access instructions, and any safety requirements. Real-time status updates let the office track progress across every job without a single phone call.
Test & Tag Management
Digital test sheets covering RCDs, smoke alarms, switchboard inspections, and portable appliance testing in line with AS/NZS 3760 requirements. Results are stored against each asset with pass/fail history, next-due dates, and technician sign-off. Generate compliant test reports with one tap and email them directly to the site manager.
Materials Tracking
Log every cable run, circuit breaker, fitting, and consumable used on each job. Sync pricing from your preferred wholesalers so actual costs update automatically. Compare quoted materials against what was used on-site to identify variances, track wastage, and understand your true job profitability down to the individual task level.
Customer Links
Send customers a secure link where they can approve quotes with a digital signature, follow the job, view completed test reports, and pay invoices via credit card or bank transfer. This keeps routine status and payment actions available without an office phone call.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Taskr for Electrical Contractors
What is the best dispatch software for electricians in Australia?
Look for one board for every job, automatic assignment that respects licences, a phone app that works offline, and SMS updates to the customer. Taskr does all four for Australian electrical businesses, at $100 per seat / month, ex GST, with a 14-day free trial. ServiceM8, Fergus, AroFlo and simPRO are the other common choices; compare them on our comparison pages.
How does Taskr decide which electrician gets a job?
Each crew picks a rule: take turns, fewest open jobs, or closest to the site. You can always drag the job to someone else on the board. If you pick someone who doesn't hold the licence the job needs, Taskr warns you.
Does the customer get an on-my-way text?
Yes. Turn on the on-my-way message in Settings and choose SMS, email or both. Confirmations, reminders, reschedules, cancellations and completion notices work the same way.
Can I dispatch test and tag work the same way?
Yes. Test and tag jobs go on the same board and are assigned the same way. The results are stored against each asset, with the next due date set for you.
