Electrical labour gets billed to the wrong site when time is reconstructed later. SodaDesk logs time per job as the electrician checks in and out, tied to GPS and job proof, so hours land on the right client.
The Business Case
Mis-attributed electrical labour erodes margins. Per-job verified time fixes it.
Where Most electrical Contractors Get Stuck
- Hours are reconstructed after the fact and mis-attributed.
- No proof linking claimed time to the actual job.
- Subcontractor hours are hard to verify.
- Payroll export is manual.
How SodaDesk Solves It
Time logged by doing the job
Check-in to check-out is the entry, per job.
Tied to job proof
Each entry links to the GPS arrival and job photos.
Per-job, per-client
Labour is attributed to the right site and client automatically.
Payroll CSV export
Export verified hours, including subcontractor time, for payroll.
How It Works
Owner schedules the job
Create a one-time or recurring electrical job and assign a tech — the right checklist is attached automatically.
Tech checks in on site
Check-in captures the time and, when location is allowed, a GPS-verified arrival — never blocking, even if permission is denied.
Checklist + photo proof
The tech works the checklist on mobile: numbers, notes, and required photos. Mark Complete stays locked until every required item is done.
Proof is captured automatically
Photos, readings, time on site, GPS, and the customer signature are compiled into a job-proof record the owner can send to the customer.
Built for electrical
Job-level time, not daily guesses
Each electrical job logs its own check-in to check-out, so labour is attributed to the right site and client.
Subcontractor hours you can verify
Sub time is captured with GPS check-in and job proof — exactly where subcontractor hours are usually disputed.
Payroll-ready export
Export verified hours to CSV for payroll instead of reconstructing them from notes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is electrician time captured?
From check-in/out on each job, so each entry is tied to a specific site and client.
Can I verify subcontractor hours?
Yes — sub time is captured with GPS check-in and job proof, where it's usually hardest to trust.
Is there a payroll export?
Yes, a CSV from the owner team page.
Is the time location-backed?
Yes, when location is allowed — a GPS-verified arrival is captured at check-in.
