Horaxa / Switchboard builders
For switchboard and control panel builders
Horaxa is the management software for the owner or manager of a switchboard workshop. On a single screen you see how many hours each switchboard has taken, what material has been taken from the stores for it and which ones are running over what you quoted. Your fitters log it from their phones, and you stop reconstructing the cost after the switchboard has already been delivered.

Where the money goes
A switchboard is sold at a fixed price and built in scattered hours by several people. Until it has been delivered you do not know what it really cost, and by then it is too late to correct.
You estimate the hours for design, assembly, wiring and testing from memory. If you are out by 20%, the margin on the switchboard goes with it.
With Horaxa you see: The actual hours of similar switchboards you have already built, so you can quote the next one with data.
MCBs, contactors, terminal blocks, cable and trunking leave the stores for several switchboards at once. Nobody knows which one each part was charged to.
With Horaxa you see: Every withdrawal charged to the switchboard that uses it, the stock left and an alert when it drops below the minimum.
The wiring drags on, the customer changes the schematic halfway through assembly and the extra hours are not logged. You add them up from memory on Friday.
With Horaxa you see: Each switchboard's clock turns orange from 60% and you get an alert at 80%, while you can still talk to the customer.
Testing and the report are done once the switchboard is assembled, in hours nobody logs, and the document takes days to reach the customer.
With Horaxa you see: The testing hours within the same switchboard and the Word report on your template, written by the technician and delivered to you already finished.
What changes for you
Horaxa does not give you another task: it takes the work off your team and shows you the finished result.
You see at a glance which switchboards are on track, which are over their hours and which cost you more than you charge.
You open a switchboard and see who has worked on it, on which days, for how many hours, what material they have used and which reports they have handed in.
Your fitters log their hours from their phones when they finish. The weekly timesheet for the office fills itself in from those hours.
You request quotes for switchgear from several suppliers and compare their replies by price and lead time, and the test report is drafted from the technician's voice recording. You review and confirm.
The AI suggests and your team confirms: it never sends an email, an order or a report on its own.

One switchboard, start to finish
Four steps for a typical switchboard. Each one leaves behind a figure you would otherwise have to chase in the office.
The switchboard is a job with its budgeted hours and its clock. To quote the next one you look at the actual hours of similar switchboards.
Purchasing requests quotes from several suppliers, reads their replies by email and compares them by price and lead time. A person accepts.
The fitter logs their hours from their phone and takes materials from the stores, charging them to the switchboard. The clock moves by itself.
The technician dictates the tests and measurements, the Word document comes out on your template and a person reviews it before it is sent.
Standards and Library
If you build switchboards to UNE-EN IEC 61439 (IEC 61439), your company applies the standard. Horaxa helps you keep it to hand and makes sure the whole team, and the AI, work from it.
Add up the hours for design, assembly, wiring, testing and customer changes, multiply them by what an hour of your fitter costs you and add the materials. What is left against the selling price is the real margin. In Horaxa the switchboard is a job with budgeted hours, and its clock warns you at 80%.
Yes. When you open a switchboard you see who has worked on it, on which days, how many hours, what materials have been charged to it and which reports have been handed in. The fitter logs it from their own phone.
Yes. Every time someone takes a part from the stores they say which job it is for; who took it, how much and when is recorded, and the stock goes down. If it reaches the minimum, Purchasing gets an alert.
No. Horaxa does not design switchboards or issue conformity documents: it keeps the hours, materials and test report for each switchboard. Your company does the design and signs the declaration.
