Frequently Asked Questions
How does electrical scheduling software handle different job durations?
Business Genie lets you set default durations for common electrical jobs. A standard outlet install might be 30 minutes, a panel inspection 1 hour, a 200-amp panel upgrade 4-6 hours, a whole-house rewire multiple days. When you schedule a job, the system blocks the appropriate amount of time based on job type. You can adjust durations for specific jobs (older home might need more time for rewiring) and the schedule updates automatically. This prevents overbooking and gives you realistic daily capacity.
Can I schedule electrical crews with apprentice/journeyman requirements?
Yes. Business Genie supports crew-based scheduling for jobs that need multiple electricians. You can pair apprentices with journeymen, schedule two electricians for heavy commercial work, or assign a master electrician to complex troubleshooting. The system tracks certifications so you don't accidentally schedule an apprentice solo on work that requires a licensed journeyman. For multi-day projects, you can block entire crews on the same job across consecutive days.
How do electricians access their schedule in the field?
Every electrician gets the Business Genie mobile app (iOS and Android). They see their daily job list with appointment times, customer contact info, service address, and detailed job descriptions. For each location, they can view the complete service history—what was done on past visits, notes from other electricians, photos of the electrical panel or problem areas. Turn-by-turn navigation gets them to each job. They update job status (arrived, working, completed) so the office knows exactly where everyone is.
How does Business Genie handle electrical permit inspection scheduling?
For permitted electrical work, you often need to schedule around inspection availability. Business Genie lets you create multi-phase jobs: rough-in work, then a placeholder for inspection (which you fill in once the city schedules it), then finish work. You can link these phases so when the inspection passes, the system prompts you to schedule the completion appointment. You can also track permit numbers, inspection dates, and pass/fail status in the job record.
