Circuit test recording
Insulation resistance, continuity, polarity, earth fault loop and RCD results captured on site per circuit and per board.
Electrical contractor software: projects, tests & compliance
Electrical contractors: hand over the compliance pack in one click. Test it once. File it never.
Test results are on a clipboard in the ute, certificates are in six folders and the handover pack gets built at 9pm the night before practical completion. We build project, testing and compliance systems for electrical contractors that collect everything while the job's happening. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for electrical contractor software that handles projects, testing and handover?
An electrical contracting business is three businesses sharing one van: a project builder chasing programmes and claims, a compliance outfit signing off every circuit and a service crew doing callouts and maintenance. Most sparkies end up with a job management app for one part, spreadsheets for the test sheets, a shared drive for certificates and the group chat for everything else. Nobody can find the insulation resistance results for DB-3 when the builder asks for them.
Wollopit builds custom software around how your electrical business actually runs. Sparkies record tests on their phone against each circuit as they go. Certificates, as-builts and circuit charts land in the right project automatically. Variations get priced and signed before the cable goes in. Progress claims come straight from recorded progress. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from electrical contractors
Does your electrical contracting business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most electrical contractors we talk to do tidy, compliant work and then lose days rebuilding the paperwork that proves it. The work's done properly. The records just live in too many places.
- The problemHandover packs built at the last minuteTest sheets, certificates, manuals, warranties and as-builts get hunted down from emails, utes and folders the week of handover.How we fix itThe compliance pack builds itself as the job goes. Every test, cert and document is filed against the project the moment it's captured.
- The problemTest results typed up twiceInsulation resistance, earth continuity, polarity and RCD trip times get scribbled on paper, then retyped into a spreadsheet back at the office.How we fix itSparkies enter results on their phone against each circuit on site. Out-of-range readings get flagged before they leave the board.
- The problemCircuit charts that don't match the boardThe DB schedule was printed off the drawings, then three circuits got moved on site and nobody updated it.How we fix itCircuit charts generated from what was actually installed and tested, printed ready for the board door.
- The problemChasing certificates of complianceThe job's finished but the certificate still hasn't been done, signed or sent to the customer and the network.How we fix itCertificates drafted from the recorded tests, signed on the phone by the licensed sparky and sent with a copy filed on the job.
- The problemVariations nobody wrote downThe site super says 'just chuck in another four GPOs' and it never makes it onto an invoice.How we fix itVariations logged on site with photos, priced from your rates and sent to the builder for approval before the work goes in.
- The problemSite diaries that never get filled inPaper diaries left in the site shed, half-finished, so when there's a delay dispute you've got nothing to show.How we fix itQuick digital site diaries with weather, crew on site, delays, deliveries and photos. Done in two minutes before knock-off.
- The problemCrews shuffled by phoneElectricians and apprentices get moved between sites with a 6am phone call and the office loses track of who's where.How we fix itA crew board across every project showing who's on which site, apprentice supervision and leave, pushed to their phones.
- The problemProgress claims take daysWorking out percentage complete on every stage means walking the site, guessing and wrestling a spreadsheet.How we fix itClaims built from recorded progress, approved variations and retentions, ready to send and pushed into Xero or MYOB.
- The problemWorking off an old drawing revisionRev C went out by email last Tuesday but half the crew are still running cable off Rev A.How we fix itDrawings and RFIs filed per project with the current revision on everyone's phone and superseded sets clearly marked.
- The problemMaterials eating the marginWholesaler invoices come in with no job number and nobody knows if the cable used matched the estimate.How we fix itPurchase orders per job, supplier invoices matched to them and live job costing against the quote.
- The problemLicences and tickets expiringSomeone's EWP ticket or first aid lapses and you find out when the principal contractor turns them away at induction.How we fix itLicences, tickets, inductions and white cards on file with expiry reminders and a crew compliance sheet ready for any site.
- The problemMaintenance work run off a spreadsheetSix-monthly emergency lighting tests, RCD checks and test and tag rounds rely on someone remembering.How we fix itRecurring maintenance schedules per site with test records, tag registers, reports to the client and the next visit booked automatically.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole electrical business, on one system.
These are the systems electrical contractors ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Test recording
Test it on site. It's filed before you close the board.
Your sparkies record results on their phone against each board and circuit as they test. Readings outside the limits get flagged straight away so nothing gets signed off by mistake. No clipboards and no retyping back at the office.
- Results per board and per circuit
- Insulation resistance and continuity
- Polarity and earth fault loop impedance
- RCD trip times and test button checks
- Out-of-range readings flagged instantly
- Photos of the board and labels
- Works offline in plant rooms and basements
- Instrument and calibration details recorded
- Tested by and witnessed by sign-off
- Retest history kept per circuit
Compliance packs
The handover pack builds itself while you work.
Every test, certificate, drawing, manual and warranty gets filed against the project as it's captured. When practical completion rolls round you press one button and the full pack is ready for the builder, the certifier or the client.
- One pack per project or per stage
- Test results compiled automatically
- Certificates attached once signed
- As-built drawings and circuit charts
- Equipment manuals and warranties

- Sites created from completed projects
- Recurring schedules per site
- Emergency and exit light test records
- RCD periodic testing
- Test and tag registers
- Defects raised as quotes
- Client reports sent automatically
- Next visit booked on completion

04How it changes
Before and after
A commercial handover, wolloped.
Here's how the week before practical completion could change. Every electrical business is different, so we map yours first.
Before
- Hunt through utes and inboxes for test sheets
- Retype results into a spreadsheet
- Chase the sparky who still hasn't signed the certificate
- Redo circuit charts that don't match the boards
- Email suppliers for manuals and warranties
- Handover slips and the final claim waits with it
After
- Tests were captured on site as each board was done
- Results already sit against every circuit
- Certificates were signed on the phone weeks ago
- Circuit charts printed from what was actually installed
- Missing documents were flagged and chased automatically
- Pack generated in one click and the final claim goes out on time

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your electrical contracting business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We get out on site with your sparkies, sit with your project managers and the office, then work out where the paperwork is costing you time and money.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your projects, boards and circuits, test records, certificates, crews, claims, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually test recording or handover packs first, so you get a win before your next practical completion.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things electrical contractors ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can our sparkies record tests on site without signal?
Yes. Test recording works offline in plant rooms, basements and risers, then syncs the moment the phone gets signal again.
Can it produce certificates of compliance or test?
Yes. We set up certificates to match what your state's regulator and network require, drafted from the recorded test results and signed on the phone by the licensed electrician.
Can it handle maintenance contracts after handover?
Yes. Completed projects can roll into maintenance schedules with ongoing testing records for emergency lighting, RCDs and test and tag.
We already use simPRO or AroFlo. Do we have to switch?
No. If your job management platform is doing its job, we build around it and connect the testing, compliance packs or crew board on top. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Can builders and clients see the handover pack?
Yes. You can share a pack by link, give a builder portal access or export it as a PDF in your branding.
Will it push claims and invoices into Xero or MYOB?
Yes. Progress claims, variations and invoices can flow straight into Xero or MYOB so nobody retypes them.
How much does an electrical contractor system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like test recording or site diaries can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most electrical contractors we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
