Frequently Asked Questions
How do electricians create invoices in the field with Business Genie?
The mobile app makes invoicing fast and professional. The electrician selects items from your company price book—diagnostic fee, hourly labor, specific materials (wire, breakers, outlets, panels), permit fees, inspection fees. Material costs can auto-markup by your set percentage. The app calculates totals including tax. Electricians can add photos of completed work, notes, and warranty information. The customer reviews the invoice on the tech's tablet or their own phone (via text link) and pays by card, tap-to-pay, or ACH. The payment and job details sync instantly to your dashboard.
Can Business Genie handle electrical material markup automatically?
Yes. You can set markup percentages for materials in your price book—wire at 30% markup, panels at 25%, breakers at 35%, etc. When an electrician adds materials to an invoice, the system applies your markup automatically. You see both the cost and the customer price. This ensures consistent pricing across your team and protects your margins. You can also set flat-price items (standard outlet install = $150) that include labor and materials in one line item.
How do I invoice progress payments for large electrical projects?
For larger electrical jobs—service upgrades, rewires, new construction—you can set up progress billing. Collect a deposit (typically 25-50%) when the contract is signed, another payment at rough-in completion, and the final balance at project completion. Business Genie tracks the total contract value, payments received, and remaining balance. You can generate invoices for each progress payment, and the customer sees how much they've paid and what remains. This improves cash flow on big projects.
What payment methods can electrical contractors accept?
Business Genie supports all major payment methods: credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), debit cards, contactless payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and ACH bank transfers. For larger electrical projects, ACH has lower fees—just 1% capped at $10, compared to 2.9% + 30¢ for cards. You can also record cash and check payments manually. Same-day deposits are available for card payments, helping you maintain cash flow for material purchases.
