Electrical software for South Africa
An electrical shop mixes quick service calls with bigger installs. A dead outlet takes an hour, a panel upgrade or EV charger takes planning and a signed estimate. DispatchMind keeps both kinds of work on one board, lets your electricians quote from the truck, and keeps the photos of every panel you touched.
Pick South Africa and Electrical when you sign up and it’s ready: ZAR, VAT, 2026/10/27 dates.
A typical electrical job
- A customer fills out the lead form on your website asking about an EV charger install, and it shows up as a new job.
- The office books an estimate visit on the calendar and assigns an electrician from the dispatch board.
- He photographs the panel, notes the open breaker space, and builds the estimate from your price book while he's standing in the garage.
- The customer signs, the job gets a tag for what's needed next, and the install gets scheduled.
- After the install the tech closes it out, the invoice goes out, and the card is charged through your own Stripe account.
