Stop Wasting Billable Hours on Paperwork and Permit Tracking
We bridge the gap between the job site and the office by automating data extraction from ServiceTitan, CompanyCam, and municipal permit portals.
Electrical contractors navigate a unique administrative burden where field efficiency is often throttled by office bottlenecks. Between NEC compliance checks and the surge in $1,500-$3,000 EV charger installations, office managers are frequently overwhelmed by permit applications and inspection scheduling. A single missed emergency service call, which averages $450 in immediate revenue, represents a significant loss when staff are bogged down by manual data entry.
Managing documentation across platforms like Jobber or Housecall Pro often leads to data silos. When technicians upload photos to CompanyCam, that critical data rarely migrates to the final invoice or permit filing without manual intervention. This creates friction that delays project closeouts and impacts cash flow for growing firms.
Read Laboratories implements AI-driven document processing that extracts line items from supplier invoices (like Graybar or Rexel) and syncs them directly with Procore or ServiceTitan. By automating the extraction of permit status updates from municipal portals, we ensure your master electricians stay focused on high-value panel upgrades and complex rewiring projects rather than administrative tasks.
Problems We Solve
Manual Permit Filing Bottlenecks
Extracting property data and contractor license info for repetitive municipal forms is slow; AI automates this to ensure same-day filing.
Inconsistent Estimate Follow-up
High-value $5k+ rewiring leads often go cold because office staff are buried in manual data entry from paper work orders instead of calling prospects.
Supply Chain Invoice Lag
Manually entering SKU-level pricing from electrical supply houses into Jobber or ServiceTitan delays accurate job costing and final billing.
Emergency Dispatch Delays
AI parses incoming emergency texts and emails to instantly create high-priority tickets, ensuring you capture the $250-$600 emergency service fee.
Compliance Documentation Chaos
Organizing NEC inspection reports and site photos for final sign-off is a manual nightmare that we automate through intelligent folder mapping.
