Electricians running their own diary typically charge £300–£500 per day. One poorly planned week — jobs at opposite ends of your area, a no-show, an afternoon of dead mileage — can cost you several hundred pounds. That's the problem electrician job management software is supposed to solve. Most of it doesn't.
What "job management software" usually means
The majority of products marketed as electrician job management software are built for electrical contractors — businesses with multiple engineers and compliance requirements. If you run your own book of work, you're paying for features you'll rarely use. These platforms routinely charge £30–£80 per user per month.
Geographic scheduling — the feature nobody talks about
The thing that actually costs electricians the most time isn't admin. It's dead mileage. Good job management software should show you availability based on where you already are, how long each job takes, and the drive time between locations. Most scheduling apps don't do this.
What Job Bookers does
Job Bookers is an Android-first scheduling app built for one person running their own electrical business. It finds available slots based on your existing bookings, job durations, and drive times. Standard plan £20/month. First month free, no card required.
