One day with OnsiteBoard

Five things you already do. Less typing in each of them.

  1. Book.

    Customers pick a day and a window on your booking link. Or paste their text, "Half the kitchen outlets stopped working…": name, phone, address and the problem fill in. Either way it lands in the app, and you confirm the booking.

  2. Drive.

    Tap On my way. The status changes, a text to the customer opens with your message already written, and navigation opens to the address.

  3. Do the work.

    Write down where and which circuit, "Kitchen counter, breaker 14". Tap Draft: service lines are proposed from your notes as Location, Circuit, Problem and Service, priced from your list.

  4. Sign.

    Hand over the phone. The total sits above the pad, so the customer signs for a number they've seen. Or text the estimate with a deposit to start, and they approve it from the couch.

  5. Get paid.

    Send the invoice by text or email, with your license number on it. The customer pays by card from the link, tip included, and Stripe sends it to your bank. Cash or check? Record it on the job. Card payments run through Stripe; its standard fees apply.

What's in the box

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

  • Your day, in time windows

    Jobs sit in the arrival windows you set, 8–10, 10–12, and so on, with a reminder before each one.

  • Jobs that come in on their own

    Customers pick a day and a window on your booking link. Or paste their text, and the name, phone, address and problem fill in, for you to check.

  • Electrical services, ready to go

    Fourteen common calls to start from, an $89 service call to a $2,400 200A panel upgrade, each with a starting price you change in Settings.

  • A Circuit line on every service

    Every line starts with Location and Circuit blanks: "Kitchen counter, breaker 14". Filled in, they print on the invoice; left blank, they don't.

  • Storm-season work, priced

    A generator interlock kit and inlet at $650 and a whole-home surge protector at $395 are on the starting list.

  • Your license #

    Enter it once in Settings, under Business info. Your license number prints on every estimate and invoice.

  • Draft from your notes

    Tap Draft and the service lines are proposed from the job's notes as Location, Circuit, Problem and Service. Prices come from your list only; you edit and save.

  • Deposits on estimates

    Ask for a deposit up front, as a percentage or any amount, within your state's limits. Record it, or the customer pays it by card. The invoice counts it as paid. Card payments run through Stripe; its standard fees apply.

  • Signed on your phone or online

    The customer signs on your screen, with the total right above the pad, or approves the estimate from a link.

  • Know who's calling

    On iPhone, a customer's name shows on the incoming call, even if they're not in your phone's contacts.

  • Remind in one tap

    Finished jobs that still owe money show the balance in red on your schedule, with a Remind button that writes the text for you.

  • Paid by card, no reader

    Customers pay the invoice from a link and can add a tip; Stripe sends the money to your bank.

  • Customers and their jobs

    Search by name, street or phone, see every past job, import from a spreadsheet or CSV, export any time.

  • Reports that answer the question

    Revenue collected, jobs completed, average ticket and what's still owed, by week, month or year.

  • Jobs save without signal

    In the phone app, open your jobs and add new ones in an attic or a garage with no bars; they sync when you're back in range.

Also in there: hourly labor at your rate, with electrical labor starting at $115/hr · one-tap On my way, with a ready-made text and navigation · alerts when a customer books, signs or pays · message templates · a PDF of every estimate and invoice · your trade in Settings, so the service list and the assistant fit electrical work.

Which circuit, on every line. Storm-season work, ready to quote.

Your customer, or the next electrician to open that panel, can see what you did and where. And the jobs homeowners ask for before and after a storm are already on your list.

  1. Write down the circuit.

    Every service line starts with Location and Circuit: "Kitchen counter, breaker 14". It prints under the line on the invoice. A blank you leave empty doesn't print.

  2. Storm season, on your list.

    Generator interlock kit and inlet, $650. Whole-home surge protector, $395. Change the prices or add your own in Settings.

  3. Ask for a deposit on the big one.

    A 200A panel upgrade starts at $2,400 on your list, a Level 2 EV charger install at $850. On the estimate, tap Ask for a deposit: 10%, more where your state allows, or any amount. Record cash or check, or the customer pays it by card from the estimate link. Card payments run through Stripe; its standard fees apply.

  4. Invoice the rest.

    When the estimate becomes the invoice, the deposit is already on it as Paid so far, your license number is at the top, and the customer pays the balance by card.

The Circuit line is a note on your invoice, not a permit or an inspection record. OnsiteBoard doesn't file anything; permits and inspections are still yours to handle.

A Book Online button for your website.

Every account comes with its own booking page. Put the link behind a button on your website, your Google Business Profile, Facebook, Nextdoor or Yelp, and customers send a booking request for a window you're free; you confirm it with one tap.

  • Your windows. The page offers the arrival windows you set in Settings, and nothing else.
  • Only times you're really free. The page reads your schedule, including jobs you put in by hand, so a customer can't book on top of work you already have.
  • Notice you control. Set the earliest day in Settings: one day means a full 24 hours from the moment they book.
  • It lands in the app for you to confirm. Name, phone, address and what's wrong, in the arrival window they picked, with an alert on your phone. Tap Confirm booking and the customer gets their confirmation email.
  • Written for your trade. The example in the "What needs fixing?" box follows the trade you picked: "e.g. half the kitchen outlets stopped working".
  • One window, one request. Two people on the page at once can't both take the same window.

Two small things you'll use every day.

An incoming call on an iPhone showing the customer's name, Jennifer Walsh, under the number, identified by OnsiteBoard.

Know who's calling.

Your customers' names show on incoming calls, even when they're not in your contacts. Pick up knowing it's a customer, not a spam call. iPhone only.

New customer: a pasted text saying half the kitchen outlets stopped working, the Fill in from message button, and what it filled in: the customer's name, phone, address and a note about the kitchen outlets.

A text becomes the customer.

Paste the message and tap Fill in from message. "Half the kitchen outlets stopped working…" becomes the customer's name, phone and address, with the problem in the notes, written up the way an electrician would. Check it, save, add the job.

Same account. Bigger screen.

The browser dashboard is for the evening at the desk: the week, the quotes, and who still owes you.

  • Today at a glance. What's on today, what came in this week, what's outstanding.
  • The week as a grid. Your time windows down the side, days across. An empty cell is a free window.
  • The day's route. The stops in order, the drive between each pair in miles and minutes, and a map, all estimated from the addresses on the jobs. Hand the whole run to Google Maps in one click.
  • Needs attention. Unpaid invoices by age, jobs waiting on a part, and payments and bookings as they come in.

Nothing to install. Same sign-in as the phone. Book jobs, edit customers, send invoices, run reports and export CSV, with a keyboard.

Bring your customers and jobs with you.

Export a customer list or a job history from your old app or spreadsheet, as .xlsx or CSV, and pick it in Customers. A job history comes in too: each past job with its total and payment, so your work history and revenue reports are there from day one. OnsiteBoard works out which kind of file it is and shows you what it found before anything is imported.

It's built not to double anyone up. Every row is matched against the customers you already have — by phone number first, then by name and address. A match only gets its blank details filled in, nothing you typed is overwritten, and a repeat is skipped. Run the same file twice and you get the same customers, not two of each. Everything exports back out any time.

Questions electricians ask

Where does the circuit go?
On the service line itself. Every electrical service starts with Location and Circuit blanks, then Problem and Service: "Location: Kitchen", "Circuit: Breaker 14". Filled in, they print under the line on the invoice, the PDF and the customer's page. Left empty, a blank doesn't print, so no invoice goes out with an empty "Circuit:".
Can it read a label or nameplate from a photo?
Not for electricians, on purpose. The appliance, HVAC, garage door and plumbing trades read a label from a photo; for electrical work there's rarely one worth reading, so the photo is just a photo. You type the location and circuit, or tap Draft and they're proposed from your notes.
Can I take a deposit before a panel upgrade?
Yes, on any estimate: 10% of the total, more where your state allows, or any amount. A 200A panel upgrade starts at $2,400 on your list, so half is $1,200. Record it as cash or check, or the customer pays it by card from the estimate link. When the estimate becomes the invoice, the deposit already counts as paid and the customer sees the balance. Some states limit deposits on home improvement work: in California, 10% of the price or $1,000, whichever is less. Check your state's rules before you set one. Card payments run through Stripe; its standard fees apply.
Are the service prices set for me?
They're a starting point. You get fourteen common electrical services, from an $89 service call and a $150 dead-circuit troubleshoot to GFCI outlets, ceiling fans, a dedicated 20A circuit, a $395 whole-home surge protector, a $650 generator interlock kit and inlet, an $850 Level 2 EV charger install, a $2,400 panel upgrade and electrical labor at $115/hr, each with a typical price. Change the names, prices and descriptions in Settings, add your own, or delete what you don't do.
Where does my license number go?
Enter it once in Settings, under Business info, in the License # field. It prints on every estimate and invoice, next to your company name and phone.
Can I charge by the hour?
Yes. Turn on Charge by the hour on any service line and enter the hours and your rate; the line total is worked out to the cent as you type. The hours show under the line on the invoice. The electrical labor service in your list starts at $115/hr; change the rate in Settings.
Does it work for other trades?
Yes. You pick your trade when you sign up: appliance repair, auto detailing, boat service, dryer vent cleaning, electrician, garage doors, gutters, handyman, house cleaning, HVAC, irrigation / sprinklers, lawn care, locksmith, pest control, pet waste removal, plumbing, pool service, pressure washing and window cleaning are supported. It sets your starting service list and how the assistant reads customer messages and drafts services. You can change it later in Settings; a service list you've edited stays unless you choose to replace it.
Do I need a card reader?
No. The customer pays from the invoice link, on their own phone or computer, on a Stripe-hosted card form. You never handle the card. Stripe's standard card processing fee applies; OnsiteBoard doesn't add a fee of its own.
Does it work offline?
In the phone app, partly. With no signal you can open your jobs, add a job and change its time; it syncs when you're back in signal. A job's services and parts open with a signal the first time; after that you can change them, and record a cash or check payment on its invoice, without one. The customer's signature, job photos, sending an estimate or invoice, card payments, the assistant (reading a message, drafting services), the map and Street View need a connection, and so does the browser dashboard.
Can I import my customers?
Yes, from a spreadsheet (.xlsx) or a CSV file — export one from your old app and pick it in Customers. OnsiteBoard works out whether the file is a customer list or a job history and tells you what it found before anything is imported. Names, phones, emails and addresses come in. Rows are matched to customers you already have by phone, then by name and address: a match gets its blank fields filled in and nothing overwritten, a repeat is skipped — so importing the same file twice doesn't double anyone.
What about Android?
The Android app is on Google Play, with the same account as the iPhone app and the browser dashboard. One difference: Caller ID is an iPhone feature.
Can my customer pay without an account?
Yes. The invoice link opens in their browser — no app, no sign-up. They sign, add a tip if they want, and pay by card.
What happens after the trial?
Nothing is charged when the trial ends: there is no card on file. You pick monthly or yearly in the app. If you don't, nothing is deleted: your jobs, customers and invoices stay viewable and exportable. Creating new work and sending documents by email from OnsiteBoard need a plan.
Is my data mine? Can I export it?
Yes. Export your customers and your payments as CSV, save or print any estimate or invoice as a PDF, and delete your account from Settings whenever you want.
Do you track my location?
No. The app never asks for it. Drive times on the route are estimated from the addresses on your jobs, and "On my way" and "Arrived" are times you tap yourself.
Can it draft my invoice?
Tap Draft on a job and OnsiteBoard proposes the service lines from the job's notes and your own service templates, each written up as Location, Circuit, Problem and Service. Prices come only from your templates. You look it over, change anything, and save.
A customer texted me instead of booking. Do I retype it?
No. Copy the text, open a new customer or job, paste. "Half the kitchen outlets stopped working…" fills in the name, phone, address and the problem, the way you'd write it down yourself. Check it and save.
Is OnsiteBoard a CRM for an electrician?
It keeps your customers and every past job, and you can search by name, street or phone. It is built around the day's work: schedule the job, send the estimate, send the invoice and get paid.
