ESA notifications, permits, and apprentice hours should not live in three spreadsheets.
Most Ontario electrical contractors run on a mix of accounting software, dispatch software, and a stack of spreadsheets the office manager rebuilds every Monday. We connect the systems and replace the spreadsheets with automated workflows.
The problem
The office manager is doing the integration work by hand.
When ESA notifications get re-keyed from dispatch into the ESA portal, when permit submissions are tracked in a spreadsheet that nobody trusts, when apprentice hours are logged on paper and entered into payroll twice a month, the bottleneck is not the systems. The bottleneck is the manual handoff between them.
Job-cost tracking is reactive. Overruns are discovered weeks after the fact, when the data finally makes it from the field into the books.
What we usually find
Where the spreadsheets pile up.
- 01ESA notifications get re-keyed by hand from the dispatch tool into the ESA portal.
- 02Permit submissions are tracked in a shared spreadsheet that nobody trusts.
- 03Apprentice hours are logged on paper and entered into payroll twice a month.
- 04Job-cost tracking is reactive, with overruns discovered weeks after the fact.
What we fix
What we typically build.
ESA notification automation
Pulls from dispatch and submits to the ESA portal without re-keying.
Permit tracking dashboard
Real-time status across every active job, replacing the Monday spreadsheet rebuild.
Apprentice hour capture from the field
Hours flow directly to payroll with no double-entry and no paper timesheets.
Real-time job-cost dashboard
Live view of every active job against its estimated margin, with budget alerts before overruns happen.
Stop rebuilding the spreadsheet every Monday.
The audit identifies the highest-ROI integration for your specific business. For most Ontario electrical contractors, that is ESA notifications or job-cost visibility.
