Five connected workflows

Capture it once. Reuse it through to completion.

Everything stays connected, from the initial enquiry to the installation record.

Three things that affect every business

What changes in day-to-day work

01

Enter it once

Job report, photos, readings, hours and materials are captured where they happen — in the basement, with no signal. They go out the moment there is a connection again. In the browser, no App Store, on the apprentice's own phone.

02

From job report to payment received

Measured quantities against the quote, partial and interim invoices, early-payment discounts, warranty retention, QR-bill, camt reconciliation against the bank, reminders. None of it is typed a second time.

03

Deadlines and certificates

Inspection interval, contractor's lien, warranty, permit, subsidy file. The software holds them strictly and speaks up before one runs out — not as a calendar entry.

The difference

Most programs think in jobs. We think in installations.

A job is finished after two weeks. An electrical installation lives for forty years — it is built, extended, measured, certified and inspected again years later. Somewhere in between a PV system goes on the roof and later a charging point into the garage.

  • Which circuits there are, and what they measured last time
  • Which grid operator is responsible, and which certificates have been issued
  • When the next periodic inspection falls due — before the grid operator writes to your customer

That is the difference between a filing system and a business that knows what is installed at its customers'.

Artificial intelligence

What the AI does here — and what it leaves to you

It works differently in two places, and we keep the two apart.

It acts

In the inbox

  • An incoming message becomes a job — with the job type, the site address and the person on site.
  • The customer, contact and property are created along with it, if they do not exist yet.
  • If something is missing, out of the box it writes to your customer on its own. Switchable to approval.
It proposes

On the document

  • Line items, the introduction and the work description come as a proposal, with a tick box per line.
  • Prices are calculated by the software from your own article master — none is invented.
  • What you do not tick leaves no trace on the document.

There is no figure for time saved here — we have measured none.

What the AI does here

Honestly

What we do not do

  • We do not replace the grid operator's notification system. That route exists and it works.
  • You switch your accounting only if you want to. The general ledger is built in, and the export to bexio, Abacus and Banana stays.

Switzerland

Your data stays here, and it stays provable

Data held in Switzerland and the EU

A hard requirement with cantonal and municipal clients.

revDSG

The right of access is built in, not bolted on afterwards.

Retention under OR 958f

Ten years for the books, until the next inspection for the certificates.

An auditable chain

Every change hangs in a timestamped chain that can be recalculated.

A quick calculation

When is this installation due again?

Depending on the type of installation, the inspection interval is 1, 3, 5, 10 or 20 years. Know it before the grid operator's letter arrives and the job is yours.

Open the inspection interval calculator

Choose the use — the answer appears here.

Calculated on your device, in whole years. The exact date is on the last Sicherheitsnachweis — that is what the full calculator is for.

Let’s find where your business is losing time.

In 45 minutes, we take one of your jobs from the initial enquiry through to payment. Afterwards, you know what elektro.box can simplify — and what should stay exactly as it is.
