Automation for electrical contractors means test reports, E-Check documentation, and change orders write themselves.

Automation for electrical contractors means: measurements from the test device land straight in the report, recurring inspections remind themselves, quotes and change orders are generated from the site survey. NordFlux builds this around your existing trade software, not next to it. You stay in control of every step.

The problem

Documentation eats up the time that's missing on site.

Installation and inspections during the day, typing up test reports and calculating quotes in the evening. With DGUV-V3 inspections, E-Checks, and change orders, the paperwork piles up faster than a business can work through it.

  • 01The test device exports the measurements, but in the end someone still transfers the DGUV-V3 results by hand into the report, customer file, and invoice. With several hundred devices per job, that's a whole evening's work.
  • 02E-Check and inspection deadlines live in a spreadsheet or in someone's head. A missed recurring inspection means lost revenue and, in case of damage, a liability issue.
  • 03Quotes are delayed because site measurements and material prices from the wholesaler are only gathered and calculated in the evening. The faster competitor gets the job.
  • 04Change orders for extra work on site aren't properly documented and get lost when it comes to the final invoice. Work that was done but never paid for.
Use cases
01

What we specifically automate in electrical businesses.

Five workflows that eat up time in almost every electrical business. We automate them with your existing systems, from the test device to the trade software.

01

Test reports from the measuring device

Measurement data from the test device, such as Gossen Metrawatt Secutest, Benning, or Fluke, flows automatically into the finished DGUV-V3 or E-Check report. Customer assignment, device list, and PDF are created without typing and go straight into the customer file and the invoice.

Savings 2–4 h per inspection job
02

E-Check and inspection deadlines under control

Every recurring inspection gets its due date. When an E-Check or DGUV-V3 deadline is approaching, the customer is contacted automatically and the inspection appointment is prepared. Forgotten deadlines become plannable, recurring jobs.

Impact No lost inspection revenue
03

Site measurement and quote in one step

Site measurements are captured digitally on site, the automation pulls line items and current material prices and builds the quote draft. You review and send instead of calculating from scratch in the evening.

Savings 2–4 h per quote
04

Capturing change orders properly

The technician reports extra work directly from the site with a photo and a short note. This creates a documented change order that is automatically added to the final invoice. Work performed is no longer lost.

Impact Complete billing
05

Materials management and wholesaler

Material lists from the job become orders with the wholesaler, such as Sonepar or Rexel, on request directly via the IDS-Connect interface. Goods receipt and material prices flow back into the follow-up costing instead of getting lost in a separate portal.

Savings 3–5 h per week in the office
Tools

Software for electrical businesses: your programs stay.

Your trade software such as pds, Streit, or Label, your test device, and your accounting stay in use. We build the connections between them so data no longer has to be transferred by hand.

Connect
n8n as the hub

n8n connects the test device export, trade software, wholesaler, and accounting with each other. Runs on a server in Germany on request, every workflow is traceable and belongs to you. Tool-agnostic, we work around your business, not around a partner program.

Phone
AI phone service for faults and emergencies

A phone agent takes calls when everyone is on site: it records the request, location, and callback number and files the request in a structured way. Faults and emergencies are put through immediately according to your rules.

Foundation
Process automation tailored to you

Not every electrical business needs the same thing. We look at your workflows and automate the points where time is really being lost, from inspection documentation to material ordering.

How we work

The 30-day model.

From the first analysis to ongoing automation in 30 days, at a fixed price instead of an open-ended timesheet.

1

Free initial analysis

60 minutes, no obligation, happy to do it after hours too. Together we look at where the business is losing the most time, whether in inspection documentation, quotes, or materials.

2

Concept and fixed price

You get a concrete proposal: which workflows will be automated, how the test device and trade software will be connected, and what it costs. A fixed price, no surprises.

3

Implementation

We build the automation and test it with real cases from your daily work: real test reports, real quotes, real material lists.

4

Handover and briefing

Your team learns in a short briefing how everything works and how you can step in yourselves. You stay in control, we stay reachable.

Is it mainly about faster quotes?

If your biggest time sink is creating quotes from site measurements and material prices, it's worth a look at our dedicated service page for that. The rest of the automation for electrical businesses can be added later.

Frequently asked questions
05

What electrical businesses often ask us.

Can NordFlux take over the measurement data from my test device?

Yes, the measurement data from common test devices can be taken over automatically. Whether Gossen Metrawatt Secutest, Benning, or Fluke, we read the export and generate the finished DGUV-V3 or E-Check report from it, with customer assignment. Typing the measurements into the report and invoice by hand is completely eliminated.

Do I have to switch my trade software?

No, your trade software stays. Whether pds, Streit, Label, or another system, we build the automation around it and connect it with your test device, wholesaler, and accounting. Switching software would be the most expensive and riskiest route for most businesses, so we generally advise against it.

How does the automation remind me of upcoming E-Checks and DGUV-V3 inspections?

Every inspection gets its own individual due date on file. When a deadline is approaching, the automation contacts the customer and prepares the inspection appointment. Forgotten recurring inspections become plannable, recurring jobs, without anyone having to maintain a spreadsheet.

What does automation cost for an electrical business?

After the free initial analysis, you get a fixed price for your specific project, not an open-ended timesheet. What it costs depends on which workflows are automated and which systems are connected, from the test device to the wholesaler.

Where is the customer data and inspection reports stored?

On request, all data stays in Germany. n8n as the hub can be run on a server in Germany, every workflow is traceable and belongs to you. You keep control over who sees which inspection reports and customer data, and you can review every automated step.
