Voltline

Features

Job management built for Australian sparkies.

Voltline runs every electrical job from the first customer enquiry to the paid invoice — on the office desktop and in the van.

Start your free monthSee how it works

Workspace dashboard

Open the app and see the day in one screen.

Today's numbers, every section of the business, and anything that needs you right now.

The Workspace is the default screen after sign-in and the map of the whole app. Across the top are today's numbers — jobs scheduled, new requests waiting, jobs completed this month. Below that, a card for each area of the business with a live count and a one-line description; tap one to jump straight in. Alerts surface anything urgent: new job requests, jobs not yet accepted, billing or trial notices.

See your whole business in one screen.

  • Today's numbers: scheduled jobs, new requests, completed this month
  • Section cards with live counts — jobs, board, requests, customers, team, calendar, inventory, billing
  • Alert banner for new requests and billing or trial notices
  • Install-app button with instructions matched to the device
  • Enable web push notifications for job and billing updates

Jobs

Every job you've ever done, still findable.

Scheduled, Completed and Cancelled — each with its own tab, search and filters.

Jobs is the complete record of work, past and present. Create a job with a title, description, customer, site address, scheduled date and time, and urgency. Search a customer as you type — picking a past customer pre-fills their address, phone and email, and new customers can be created without leaving the form. Completed work files itself under the month it was finished, so end-of-month reconciliation is a scroll, not a hunt. Cancelled jobs move to their own tab instead of disappearing.

Raise a job in under a minute.

  • Statuses: Scheduled, Completed, Cancelled — each on its own tab
  • Urgency: Low, Medium, High, Emergency, used to sort and colour the board
  • Customer search with pre-fill for repeat work, plus create-a-customer inline
  • Completed jobs grouped by the month they were completed
  • Search and filters across job title, customer and address on every tab

Job board and dispatch

Know where every job is without ringing anyone.

A dispatch board that shows the real field status of every job, updated by the crew as they work.

The job board is the dispatcher's screen for owners and admins. Jobs appear as cards grouped by field status with search across job, customer and address. The office assigns a job to a crew member; everything after that is driven by the electrician on their phone, so the board reflects what is actually happening on site rather than what someone remembered to report.

Dispatch your crew and watch it happen live.

  • Filters: All, Unassigned, Assigned, Accepted, On the way, Started, Paused, Completed, Cancelled
  • Field lifecycle: Unassigned → Assigned → Accepted → On the way → Started → Paused → Completed
  • Assign work to a crew member and they're notified on their phone
  • Live activity log of who did what and when
  • Emergency and high-urgency work stands out on the board

My Jobs — the field view

Built for one hand, in a van, on a roof.

The electrician's screen: today's work, the way there, and everything the job needs recorded.

Electricians sign in with a personal code and see only their own assigned work. Each job opens to the customer details, a Google Maps link for the last leg, a "Send ETA text" button, camera photo capture, the site log for hours and materials, job notes and a signature pad for the customer at completion. Moving the job through the stages updates the office board instantly.

Give your crew a job screen they'll actually use.

  • Only your own assigned jobs, in order
  • One-tap Google Maps directions to the site
  • Send ETA text to the customer without leaving the job
  • Take or attach photos before and after, stored privately against the job
  • Site log: hours at a rate, plus materials picked from your business's own catalogue
  • Customer signs on the phone screen at completion

Calendar

See the week before you promise the week.

Scheduled work laid out day by day.

The calendar shows scheduled jobs across the days ahead so you can spot the gaps worth filling and avoid double-booking a crew member. Select a day to list that day's jobs with their customer, time, urgency and assignee, and open any one of them straight into the job record.

Plan the week in a glance.

  • Day-by-day view of all scheduled work
  • Day list shows customer, time, urgency and who's assigned
  • Tap through to the full job from the calendar
  • Spot gaps and avoid double-bookings before they happen

Customers

The customer book that fills itself in.

Active and past customers, full job history, and repeat work in seconds.

Customers are split into active (with live work) and past (history only). Search by name, email or phone with paginated results. Open a customer to see their complete job history — every job, its status, dates and value — and export it to PDF for landlords, strata managers, agents or warranty questions. Start a new job from the customer record and their details are already there.

Raise repeat work in seconds.

  • Active vs past customers, kept apart automatically
  • Search by name, email or phone with pagination and a clear-results button
  • Complete job history on every customer record
  • One-click PDF export of a customer's job history
  • Repeat jobs pre-fill address, phone and email

Job requests — your own booking channel

Take work at 11pm on a Sunday.

Your own request link and printable QR code, feeding a reviewed queue with alerts.

Every business gets a public request page on a link unique to them. Customers fill in their name, contact details, site address and a description of the work and submit it without needing an account. Voltline generates a high-resolution QR code of that link you can print on van signage, invoices, quotes, business cards and yard signs. New requests land in a review queue where owners and admins can amend the details, then accept — which creates the customer and a scheduled job — or decline.

Get your request link and QR code.

  • Public request page unique to your business, no customer account needed
  • High-resolution QR code, exportable for print
  • Review queue: amend the address, sharpen the description, set urgency
  • Accept turns it into a scheduled job with the customer created automatically
  • Alerts on arrival: menu badge, dashboard banner, web push, SMS and email

Inventory and materials

Your price book, priced right, every time.

Import a wholesaler list once, and the crew picks real items at real prices on site.

Inventory is your own material catalogue. Add items by hand or import a wholesaler price list from CSV — Voltline reads the common column names for item, SKU and cost automatically. Each item carries a name, SKU or catalogue code, unit cost and supplier. The catalogue is what the crew picks from in the on-site material picker, so what lands on the job — and then on the invoice — is always a real item at a real price.

Load your price list and stop guessing.

  • Import wholesaler price lists from CSV, or add items by hand
  • Recognised suppliers include MMEM, L&H, Rexel, CNW, IPD, Haymans, Metalflex and in-house lists
  • Item name, SKU or catalogue code, unit cost and supplier on every line
  • Feeds the on-site material picker directly
  • Materials flow through to the invoice with mark-up where you use it

Invoicing

The invoice writes itself from the job.

Labour, materials, GST, payment terms and bank details — from the site log to a branded PDF.

Open a completed job and start the invoice. Labour lines come across from the site log at the hours and rate they were logged at. Material lines come across with quantities and prices from your catalogue, with mark-up applied where you use it. GST is applied according to the registration status captured at sign-up, and your payment terms and bank remittance details are printed on the document. The result is a branded PDF carrying your logo, business details, ABN and electrical contractor licence.

Bill the job the day you finish it.

  • Built from the site log, not from memory
  • Labour and materials broken out as separate lines
  • GST handled according to your ABR-verified registration status
  • Payment terms and bank remittance block printed on every invoice
  • Your logo, business details, ABN and electrical contractor licence on the PDF
  • A live invoice preview during setup shows exactly how it will look

Accounting links

Your books are one tap away.

Quick links to Xero, QuickBooks Online and MYOB from inside Voltline.

The bookkeeper moves between the job records and the accounting package without hunting for tabs. Where connections are stored, credentials are encrypted at rest. Available on Premium.

Keep the books and the jobs side by side.

  • Xero, QuickBooks Online and MYOB quick links
  • Reached from inside Voltline, no tab hunting
  • Stored credentials encrypted at rest
  • Premium plan feature

Team management

Add your crew in a minute, no email addresses needed.

Members, roles and personal sign-in codes, with seat usage against your plan.

Add a member with their name, contact details and role, then issue them a personal sign-in code they can reuse as often as they like until it's deleted. Edit a member's email, phone or role at any time, or remove them entirely. Seat usage is shown against your plan's limits for owners, admins and electricians, with a clear message when a limit is reached.

Get your crew signed in today.

  • Three roles: Owner, Admin, Electrician
  • Personal, reusable sign-in codes — no shared logins, no crew email accounts
  • Edit a member's details or role, or remove them
  • Live seat usage against your plan's owner, admin and electrician limits

Notifications and alerts

Told the moment it matters, on the channel you choose.

In-app, web push and SMS — with editable message templates and per-recipient toggles.

Three notification channels, all configurable. An in-app bell badges new requests, assignments and status changes. Web push reaches the phone even when the app is closed. SMS goes to as many recipients as you like, each with their own per-event toggles, so the owner gets everything and the office manager only gets new requests. SMS templates are edited in Settings with a live preview using sample data.

Set your alerts once and stop watching the inbox.

  • In-app notification bell with badges
  • Web push on the phone, even with the app closed
  • SMS to multiple recipients, each with their own event toggles
  • Editable SMS templates with live preview
  • Events: new job request, job status change, billing and subscription changes

Volt — the built-in help assistant

Ask Volt instead of ringing support.

An AI assistant on every screen that knows Voltline and can look up your own data — read-only.

Volt answers two kinds of question. "How do I..." gets a plain-English answer naming the exact screen and steps, drawn from Voltline's own product knowledge rather than generic advice. "What about my business" gets an answer from your actual jobs, customers, requests, plan and seats. Volt reads your data read-only — it can look things up but cannot create, change or delete anything, and it can only ever see your own business. Visitors who aren't signed in can also ask about plans, pricing, signing up and submitting a request.

Ask Volt anything about your workspace.

  • Available on every screen once you're signed in
  • Answers "how do I" with the exact screen and steps
  • Looks up your own jobs, customers, requests, plan and seats
  • Read-only — cannot create, edit or delete anything
  • Scoped to your business only
  • Also available to visitors who aren't signed in

Bring your data across

Switching shouldn't cost you a weekend.

Import from ServiceM8 or a spreadsheet, with duplicate detection and resumable progress.

A guided wizard brings your existing customers, jobs and staff into Voltline. Connect a ServiceM8 account and Voltline pulls them across, or upload a CSV export from whatever you use now. Duplicate detection means running an import twice doesn't double your customer list, and a large import can be stopped and picked up later without starting again. Available on Pro and Premium.

Bring your customers and jobs across.

  • ServiceM8 connect — customers, jobs and staff
  • Spreadsheet/CSV import from any system
  • Duplicate detection built in
  • Resumable progress on large imports
  • Available on Pro and Premium

Billing and billing history

Know exactly what you're paying and when.

Current plan, seats used, subscription status, next payment date and every past invoice.

Billing shows the current plan and what it includes, seats used against seats allowed, subscription status (active, free trial, payment overdue, cancelled or expired), trial days remaining and the next payment date. Plan changes are made here — upgrades take effect immediately and are prorated, downgrades apply at the next renewal. Billing history lists every past invoice and transaction with its date, amount, plan and payment status.

Manage your plan in two taps.

  • Current plan, inclusions and seats used vs allowed
  • Subscription status and trial days remaining
  • Next payment date, with payment status derived from it
  • Upgrade instantly and prorated; downgrade at next renewal
  • Full invoice and transaction history

Security and data handling

Your business's data stays your business's.

Tenant isolation, server-side role enforcement, private photo storage and encrypted credentials.

Every record belongs to a business, and database-level row security means one business's data can never be read by another, even by mistake. Permissions are checked on the server, not just hidden in the interface. Job photos live in private storage reachable only by people in that business. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest. Card details are collected and stored by Paddle, not by Voltline. Australian compliance details — ABN validation through the Australian Business Register, GST status and electrical contractor licence numbers — are carried onto customer paperwork.

Read how your data is protected.

  • Database-level tenant isolation between businesses
  • Role permissions enforced on the server
  • Private job photo storage, scoped to your business
  • Integration credentials encrypted at rest
  • Card details handled by Paddle, never by Voltline
  • ABN validation, GST status and licence details built in

Install on your phone

It lives on the home screen like an app.

Install in a few taps, stay signed in, update itself quietly.

Voltline is a progressive web app. From the Workspace screen, the install button walks you through adding it to your home screen with instructions matched to your device — the share menu on iPhone, the install prompt on Android. Once installed it opens full screen like a native app, keeps you signed in until you deliberately sign out, and updates itself silently in the background, so the crew is never running an old version.

Add Voltline to your home screen.

  • No app store, no download — install from the browser
  • Device-specific instructions for iPhone and Android
  • Opens full screen like a native app
  • Stays signed in until you sign out
  • Silent background updates keep everyone on the current version

Your next job could start in Voltline.

Set your business up in six steps, add your crew, share your request link, and run the whole job — schedule, site log, signature and invoice — in one place.
