Job Management and Quoting Apps
Tradify — Best Overall for UK Electricians
Tradify is our top pick for electricians and it’s used by thousands of UK tradespeople every day.
It handles everything from your first customer enquiry through to the final invoice — quoting, scheduling, job tracking, and invoicing all in one app. You can send a professional quote from your phone on site in minutes and convert it to an invoice the moment the job is done.
Key features for electricians:
- Professional quotes and invoices from your phone
- Job scheduling and diary management

Jobber — Best for Electrical Contractors With a Team
If you’re running a team of electricians, Jobber’s scheduling and dispatching features make it easy to manage multiple engineers, assign jobs in real time, and keep customers updated automatically.
Best for: Electrical contractors managing a small team.
Certification and Compliance Apps
NICEIC App
The NICEIC has its own app for approved contractors, making it easier to manage your membership, access technical guidance, and stay up to date with wiring regulations.
Essential for any NICEIC approved electrician.
Aico HomeLINK
If you work on domestic installations and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, the Aico HomeLINK app lets you commission and test Aico connected alarms quickly and generate digital reports for customers.
Megger Apps
Megger produces some of the most widely used test equipment in the UK electrical industry. Their companion apps connect to testing equipment via Bluetooth, allowing you to transfer test results directly to your phone and generate professional test certificates digitally.
Electrical Installation Certificate Apps
EasyCert
EasyCert is one of the most popular electrical certification apps among UK electricians. It lets you create, complete, and send Electrical Installation Certificates, Minor Works Certificates, and Condition Reports digitally — straight from your phone or tablet on site.
No more paper certificates. No more illegible handwriting. Certificates can be emailed directly to customers and stored in the cloud.
Best for: Any UK electrician who needs to produce EIC, EICR, or Minor Works certificates regularly.
NAPIT Cert App
Similar to EasyCert, the NAPIT Cert app is designed for NAPIT registered electricians and allows digital completion and storage of all standard electrical certificates.
Accounting and Invoicing Apps
Xero
Xero is one of the most widely used accounting tools among UK tradespeople and integrates directly with Tradify. It handles VAT returns, bank reconciliation, and expense tracking — and makes Self Assessment significantly less painful.
QuickBooks
QuickBooks is another strong option for UK electricians, particularly those who already have an accountant familiar with the platform. Like Xero it integrates with Tradify and most other job management apps.
Estimating Apps
PlanSwift
For larger electrical projects that require detailed estimating, PlanSwift allows you to take off quantities from digital drawings and build accurate material and labour estimates.
More suited to electrical contractors tendering for larger commercial projects than day to day domestic work.
Tradify Quoting
For most domestic and small commercial electricians, Tradify’s built in quoting is more than capable of producing accurate, professional quotes quickly. No separate estimating app needed.
Communication and Customer Management
WhatsApp Business
Free and already on most phones. WhatsApp Business lets you set up a business profile, create quick reply templates for common messages, and separate your business and personal conversations.
Useful for sending job confirmations, reminders, and following up on quotes.
Google Business Profile
Not an app in the traditional sense but your Google Business Profile is one of the most powerful free tools available to any UK electrician. Keep it updated with recent jobs, photos, and customer reviews and it will drive local enquiries on autopilot.
