Why electricians need a job log app

Logged is a job and invoice app for solo electricians: capture GPS-tagged panel and install photos attached permanently to the customer, send a line-itemized estimate the client accepts from a web link, capture the homeowner's signature, and export a PDF job record for permits.

Every screen works offline in attics and crawlspaces where signal drops, and it's free to download; Pro is $9.99/month.

Panel photos save you on the next service call

"Did you label that breaker?" "What was the existing wire gauge?" Without photos you re-diagnose every visit. Logged's photo capture is one tap from the job screen — every photo is timestamped, GPS-tagged, and permanently attached to the customer and job.

Estimates win on speed and clarity

Homeowners compare quotes side by side. A clean PDF with a photo of the existing panel, wire runs, and a clear line-item breakdown beats a hand-written number on a notepad. Logged's estimate is line-itemized, photo-embedded, and sent as a web link the client accepts from their phone.

You need a record when permits come up

Date of work, photos of the install, signed off by the homeowner. Logged's job log, signature capture, and invoice PDF cover this for every job. Pull it up anytime — no filing cabinet needed.

How Logged fits an electrician's day

Tap to capture, tap to label, auto-embed in PDF

Open a job, tap the camera icon, take the panel photo, label it "Before" or "After." Logged attaches it immediately to the job and embeds it automatically when you generate the invoice or estimate PDF.

Estimate link → one tap to accept

Build the estimate in Logged with line items and photos, tap Send. Your customer gets an email with a link — they review the scope and tap Accept in their browser. You get a push notification the moment they do.

Invoice PDF as the job record

Each job's invoice PDF includes line items, photos, customer info, and the homeowner's signature. Share it with a permit office or insurance adjuster anytime.

What should an electrician invoice app do?

An electrician invoice app should turn a service call into a finished invoice on the phone, before you leave the driveway: itemized labor and materials, photos of the panel or install, your license number, the homeowner's signature, and a way for them to pay you.

For a solo electrician it should also work with no signal, because panels live in basements and garages.

Here's how Logged covers each of those. Labor, materials, permit fees and the service call each go on their own line with quantity and price, and every line you bill is saved, so once you've billed a breaker or a GFCI the next one is a tap, not typing. Photos you take in Logged are timestamped and, when your phone has a location fix, GPS-tagged. Photos you add to an estimate print in the estimate PDF, and the job's photos print in the invoice PDF, on every plan. Your license number comes from your business profile and prints as "Lic#" at the top of every estimate and invoice. The homeowner signs the invoice on your phone.

For getting paid, every plan can put your Venmo, Cash App and PayPal pay links (with QR codes) and your Zelle details on the invoice, and you share the PDF by text or email yourself. Pro adds having Logged email it, card payments through Stripe, and, for invoices Logged emails, one automatic reminder if it's still unpaid 7 days later. Invoices and estimates are created offline: the PDF builds on the phone, and anything Logged emails for you is queued and goes out once you're back online.

What it doesn't do: time tracking, permit tracking, or job templates. A panel swap is built from saved line items each time rather than from a one-tap template.

What to put on an electrician invoice

An electrician invoice should list the service call fee, labor, each material with its quantity, permit and inspection fees, and any disposal charge on separate lines, plus your license number, before/after photos of the work, and the customer's signature.

Separate lines are what stop the "why is it this much?" call: the homeowner can see the breaker cost, the labor and the permit as different things.

The rows that matter on a residential electrical invoice:

Line item	What it covers	Typical basis
Service call / trip fee	Showing up and diagnosing, often credited toward the repair	Flat fee
Labor	The work itself, kept separate from materials	Hourly, or a flat rate per task (outlet, fixture, panel swap)
Materials	Wire, breakers, devices, boxes, fixtures	Per unit × quantity, with or without markup
Permit & inspection fees	What the local building department charges	Passed through at cost on its own line
Disposal	Hauling away an old panel, fixtures or wire	Flat fee

Three things belong on it that aren't line items. Your license number, because some states and permit offices expect it on contractor paperwork; check what yours requires. Before and after photos of the panel or install, which answer most disputes before they start and give you a record for the next service call. And the homeowner's signature, which confirms the work was done and accepted.

Pricing bases are common trade practice and vary by state, utility and job; confirm permit fees with your local building department. Reviewed 2026-10-23.

FAQ

Common questions from electricians

Can I attach panel photos to a customer's record permanently?

Yes — every photo is tied to a specific job, and every job is tied to a customer. Tap the customer to see the full photo history across all visits.

Does Logged have material-cost line items for wire, breakers, and fixtures?

Yes — every estimate and invoice supports multiple line items with quantity, unit, and price.

Can I export a job for permit paperwork?

Yes — each job's invoice PDF includes line items, photos, and the homeowner's signature.

Is there a way to template common jobs like panel swaps or EV charger installs?

Will clients see my hourly rate on the estimate?

Only what you put on the line items. You control exactly what shows in the document.
