Built around electrical work
Your software should understand what happens after the phone rings.
Electrical jobs change as soon as walls open, panels come apart or an inspector adds a requirement. RunYourTrades keeps the original scope, photos, materials, permit path, field changes and billable extras tied together so the final invoice reflects what actually happened on the job.
Photo-to-supply-list workflow
Use job photos and notes to help prepare a priced material list that can flow into the quote and ordering process.
Permit research by address and trade
Keep the real permit process, filing links and fees with the job instead of rediscovering it later.
Field changes that become billable work
Capture added scope while it happens so change orders and final invoicing do not depend on somebody remembering Friday afternoon.
The full path
How a Electrical contractor uses RunYourTrades.
The point is not to add another place to type. The point is to keep the information created at each stage useful at the next stage.
Lead / walkthrough
Create the customer and job while documenting the panel, service, run or project conditions.
Scope
Keep photos, voice notes and the planned electrical work together in the job record.
Materials
Prepare the supply list and check what the shop or van already has before ordering.
Permit
Research the address-specific permit path and keep filing information with the job.
Quote
Review the scope, materials and pricing before the customer approves the work.
Field work
Schedule the crew and capture photos, notes and any changed conditions as work progresses.
Inspection / extras
Track inspection-related actions and turn additional work into a documented change instead of lost revenue.
Invoice
Carry the completed scope, extras and job record into invoice and accounting hand-off.
One connected record
What stays attached instead of getting lost.
A good contractor system becomes more useful as the job moves forward. The details collected in the field should still be there when somebody prices the work, schedules the return, checks the invoice or answers the customer six months later.

A real-world path
A panel upgrade that does not lose the extras
An electrician photographs an existing panel during the walkthrough and dictates the scope. RunYourTrades keeps those field details with the job while the material list and permit path are prepared. The office reviews the quote and schedules the work. During installation, an unexpected feeder issue adds work. The crew documents it in the same job instead of texting the office and hoping it gets billed later. The change stays tied to the project through completion, inspection and invoice.
