Horaxa / Electrical installations
For electrical contracting firms
Horaxa is management software for electrical contracting firms. It logs the electrician’s and the mate’s hours against each job separately, charges it the materials taken from stores and warns the boss when the job reaches 80% of its budgeted hours.

Where the money goes
Refitting a shop, a unit or a home does not cost the same. Your software shouldn’t treat them the same either.
The quote was priced on one electrician’s hours. On site a mate joins, a conduit run is redone and nobody writes it down. The job is invoiced and the margin has already gone.
With Horaxa: Each job has its own hours budget, broken down by person and by day. The clock turns orange past 60%.
An electrician’s hour and a mate’s hour do not cost the same, yet in a spreadsheet they usually get added up as “hours”. The real cost of the job ends up distorted.
With Horaxa: Hours are logged per person using your company’s hour types and percentages, read from your own template.
Fault calls are charged by the hour: keep track of every one and get the customer to sign the job sheet on the spot.
With Horaxa: Have the customer sign the hours on the spot and the job sheet goes straight to the office. Within minutes everything is ready to invoice the customer.
New · Time and material
The technician records hours and materials as the work goes on. At the end, before the customer signs, they can still add anything missing. The customer signs on the screen, the sheet is closed with the date, time and a fingerprint of the document, and it reaches the office ready to invoice. The hours are charged to the installation and the materials come out of stores.
Example with made-up data. The on-screen signature is not a qualified electronic signature: it is recorded with the date, time and a fingerprint of the document.
At a glance
Grey while all is well, orange from 60% and red once over budget. At a glance you see which job is getting out of hand.
Example with made-up names and figures. In the app each clock opens up to show the hours per person and per day.

Yes. Each person logs their own hours, and the hour types and percentages are set up per company. In the detail of each job you see the hours per person and per day.
Divide the worker’s annual cost to the company by the hours you can really bill, which are the agreed working hours minus travel, waiting and shopping runs. The calculator on this page does it with your figures.
Yes. A refurbishment, a call from a regular customer or a large job are all jobs, each with its own clock. Logging hours takes about 30 seconds.
Supplier invoices are read and charged to the job if they carry its code, and anything taken from stores is recorded when it is taken out. A person reviews before confirming.
