For electrical contractors

Electrical contractor software from the estimate to the paid invoice.

Panel upgrades quoted with a deposit, service calls booked online, photos of the work on every job, and the labor behind each job on its margin. WorkBench FSM is free field service management software for electricians.

How it works

1

Quote it, sign it, fund it

Build the estimate from your price book, let the client sign on their phone, and collect a deposit before you pull the permit or order the panel.

2

The job carries its history

Status, notes, and before-and-after photos from the field live on the job, so the office and the inspector's question six weeks later both get answered.

3

Know what the job made

Techs clock in on the job on every plan. With the Pro add-on, those hours flow into each job's margin as real labor cost, next to materials, so you know which work is worth chasing.

What's included

In Core, the free plan, unless marked with an add-on.

Quotes with e-signature

Line items, optional add-ons the client can toggle, discounts, and deposits. Clients review and sign from their phone; accepted quotes convert to jobs in one click.

Deposits up front

Collect a deposit at quote approval — card or bank transfer — so the job is funded before the truck rolls.

Jobs with notes & photos

Every job carries its history: status, notes, and before/after photos from the field, so the office and the crew see the same thing.

Scheduling & dispatch

Month, week, and day views with drag-to-schedule, time blocks, and per-tech filtering. The calendar is the command center, not a read-only report.

Job profitability

Each job shows its margin — revenue against materials and real labor cost from the time clock — so you know which work is worth chasing.

Time tracking & timesheetsPro

Techs clock in and out right on the job, on every plan. With Pro, weekly timesheets roll up per person, managers can fix a forgotten clock-out, and logged hours flow into each job's profit margin as real labor cost.

From the field

“I used to juggle texts, a spreadsheet, and a separate card reader. Now a customer books online, I send the quote from my phone, and they pay the invoice from a link. One app instead of five.”

“Install season is a sprint. WorkBench keeps every house on the route in order, the crew knows exactly where to go, and deposits are in before we ever pull out a ladder.”

Questions

Can I take a deposit on a panel upgrade?
Yes. Turn on a deposit when you send the quote. The client pays it by card or bank transfer when they sign, and the balance goes on the final invoice.
Where do photos of the work go?
On the job, straight from the phone app, next to the notes. Your crew and office see them on the job; the client sees their visits and invoices in their portal.
Does hourly work fit, or only flat-rate?
Both. Keep flat rates in the price book for the common jobs, and bill time and materials from the time clock for the rest. Either way the invoice is one click.
Can I see whether a job made money?
Each job shows its margin: revenue against materials and labor. Clocking in is on every plan; weekly timesheets and labor cost flowing into the margin come with the Pro add-on.
Is WorkBench really free for an electrical contractor?
Yes. The core plan is free with full access for a small team, not a trial, with no card and no clock. Extra users and the optional add-ons are flat monthly prices; the pricing page and the free plan page have the current numbers.

Free to start. Full access, not a trial.
