Fergus job management software is transforming how electrical contractors run their businesses, helping them streamline operations, improve client service and tackle the challenge of growing a business.
West Wales-based K A Electrical found, as business grew, handling jobs and invoicing with paper and notes became unmanageable, leading to missed invoices and lost revenue. Founder Kieran Hughes turned to Fergus to bring everything into one place.
The centralised dashboard gives an instant overview of job progress, invoicing and everything the team needed to follow up. The enquiries management tool, which directly links to their website and brings in new job requests automatically, has been particularly valuable, helping K A Electrical avoid errors and manage incoming work with ease.Β Automated tools like terms of trade attached to emails added a layer of professionalism, boosting customer confidence and legal protection.
“At the start of every business, you try and juggle everything on bits of paper, notes, and pictures, and then realise you need something better,”Β says Kieran. βFergus has helped us keep everything in one place and keep track of the jobs and the job cards.β
Rolling Renewables, a family-run business in Worcestershire, found admin also became overwhelming as the business expanded. Switching to Fergus revolutionised how they operated. Using the Fergus Go mobile app, installers can now access job details and documents directly from their phones, real-time communication ensures smooth coordination and the scheduling feature allows Operations Manager Corey Revell to assign jobs effortlessly.
“Documentation was a big issue,” Corey recalls. “When youβve got multiple installers, keeping track of whatβs happening on the road, managing paperwork, and ensuring jobs remain profitable β it was overwhelming at times,” says Corey. The Fergus Go app changed all that. “When they get to the site, they just access the phone, they can go through all the docs βΒ theyβve got everything they need.”
Cornwall-based Weidner Electrical provides a wide range of electrical services, but as their workload grew, managing everything with calendars and spreadsheets became chaotic. Reactive maintenance created a constant demand for accurate record-keeping, tracking materials was a perpetual challenge and VAT returns took weeks. Β Fergus provided the structure they needed.
βFergus has made such a big difference βΒ itβs saved us so much time and stress,β says owner Tristan. βWhen VAT return time came around, weβd be up till midnight for several nights, trying to get all the invoices on. Now, we can set aside an hour and get it done. VAT returns that used to take three weeks now take just a couple of days.β
