The Best Quoting App for Electricians in Australia: What to Look For
Eight things a quoting app must do for an Australian sparky, and how Just Send It AI handles each one.
Quick answer: the best quoting app for electricians in Australia should build a complete, GST-compliant quote in minutes from whatever you capture on site (text, voice, photos or video), price it on your real business costs, check it against AS/NZS 3000, and let the client accept online. Just Send It AI was built by a licensed NSW electrician to do exactly that.
I spent 23 years on the tools before building JSI, and most of the quoting software I tried was built for accountants, not sparkies. Here is the checklist I'd use to judge any quoting app, and how JSI handles each point.
1. It should quote from how you actually work
On site you don't have time to type line items. A good app takes the job however it's easiest for you. In JSI you can type a short description, record a voice note, snap photos of the board or the job, or upload a short video (under 60 seconds). The AI reads all of it and builds the quote.
2. It should produce a full quote, not just a total
A number on a page doesn't win work. JSI produces a scope of works, itemised materials and labour, risk flags, important notes and conditions, so the client knows exactly what they're paying for and what isn't included.
3. It should price on your real costs
Guessing your rate is the fastest way to work hard and stay broke. JSI includes a Business Cost Calculator where you enter your real overheads: vehicle, fuel, insurance, tools, licensing, phone, software, marketing, accounting, super and tax provision, plus your realistic billable hours. Quotes are then priced on what your business actually costs to run.
4. It should know the Wiring Rules
An Australian electrical quote has to reflect AS/NZS 3000. JSI's Wiring Rules Assistant highlights the RCD, earthing, cable sizing, switchboard and clearance requirements relevant to the job, so compliance items are priced in, not discovered later.
5. It should give clients options
JSI builds Low, Mid and High options. Clients who can choose are more likely to say yes to one of them, and many pick the middle or top option.
6. It should look professional and be GST-compliant
Every quote generates a branded Client Quote PDF with GST shown correctly, plus a separate Internal Summary PDF for you with the working behind the price.
7. It should let clients accept online
JSI emails the quote to your client with a secure link where they can review it and accept or decline online. No printing, signing and scanning, and you see the result straight away.
8. It should help after the yes
Winning the job is only half of it. In NSW you also have a CCEW to lodge. JSI helps you prepare CCEW submissions for accepted jobs, and the Jobs and Accounting views track quotes generated, sent and accepted, your win rate, and total value quoted versus accepted.
Why I'd choose JSI
Most quoting tools are generic job management software with a quote template bolted on. JSI is quoting first, built for Australian electrical work by someone who has done it. You can try it free for 14 days with no credit card, and Founders lock in $49 a month for as long as their subscription stays active.
