See how Toolie works for electricians
From the job type to a priced quote, the circuit and supply checks behind it, the CoC with its test results and the register you keep it in — in the order you’d actually use it.
Every screen here is the real Toolie app running a made-up demo business — the clients and addresses are invented, the screens are real.

01
Quote the job
Pick from electrician job types — new-build wiring, rewires, switchboard upgrades, EV chargers, solar and battery, heat-pump circuits — and enter the counts you’d price from.
- Electrician job types from new-build wiring and rewires to EV chargers, PV + battery, heat-pump circuits, underfloor heating, smart-home wiring and commercial fit-outs
- Auto takeoff: outlets, light points, lighting circuits, cable run, bedrooms and storeys become material lines — RCBOs, switchboard, main earth and MEN kit, smoke alarms
- An electrician pricebook you can override with your own wholesaler prices; a price you type on an unpriced line is remembered
- Labour hours and rate, markup on materials, GST, a deposit or staged payments, and the client scope drafted for you
02
Circuit and supply checks
Check the circuit and the supply before you commit to a price — and keep the calc sheet with the job.
- Circuit check: measured run, load and device → cable size, voltage drop and earth fault-loop impedance, pre-filled from EV charger, heat-pump and other circuit jobs
- Current-carrying capacity checked against the cable ratings your firm types in once from its own AS/NZS 3008.1.2 copy — Toolie ships none
- Will the supply cope? — the client’s half-hourly meter file, your own calculation rows or an entered figure, plus the new loads → OK, load management or a supply upgrade
- Each check goes on the quote as a note (and a load-management line where needed), with a printable calc sheet kept with the job
03
Certificates on the job
Every job type shows the paperwork the regulations require for it, with the regulation and the deadline — and Fill in + issue opens the certificate pre-filled from the quote.
- Certificate of Compliance for general and high-risk prescribed electrical work (regulation 65, Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010)
- Electrical Safety Certificate, due no later than 20 working days after connection (regulation 74C)
- The CoC records what regulation 67 asks for: AS/NZS 3000 part, certified design, other standards, manufacturer’s instructions, supply system and the parts safe to connect
- Circuit test results per circuit — earth continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, RCD trip time and fault-loop impedance — with an RCD slower than 300 ms flagged
- Sign on the phone, print the certificate, or email it to the customer as a PDF — which records the copy as given
04
Certificate register
Every certificate you issue, with the test results behind it and the deadline for getting it to the customer.
- CoC, ESC and Record of Inspection register, numbered for you (EC-0001…)
- Deadline tracking: the CoC copy within 20 days of completion (reg 74E), the ESC copy within 20 working days of issue (reg 74G), and the high-risk database lodgement (reg 74F)
- Working days skip weekends, national public holidays and 25 December – 2 January
- Search, export to CSV, and keep each record for at least 7 years
Everything in the electrician pack
Write your CoC, ESC and ROI on site — not at 9pm
A Certificate of Compliance is legally required for all prescribed electrical work under the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010. Toolie fills in the CoC, the customer’s Electrical Safety Certificate and the independent inspector’s Record of Inspection for high-risk PEW — mains, solar PV, medical — each pre-filled from the job. It prints each certificate ready to sign (or save as PDF), with your EWRB (Electrical Workers Registration Board) licence on file, and logs it in your certificate register for audit.
20-working-day deadlines, tracked
An ESC is due within 20 working days of connection; for high-risk PEW the inspector lodges the work on the high-risk database within 20 working days of the Record of Inspection. Toolie works out each date (skipping weekends and public holidays) and reminds you until it’s done.
Quote a rewire or switchboard from your phone
Build a priced quote on site from a plain-English description, then turn it into an invoice in a couple of taps. Grounded NZ electrical pricing you can override with your own wholesaler rates — not a blank template.
Invoicing, timesheets and job costing in one app
Invoice from site, take payment, and sync to Xero or MYOB. GPS-verified timesheets capture crew hours per job, and estimate-vs-actual job costing shows your real margin. No separate certificate app, no separate timesheet app.
One flat price for your whole crew — not per user
Tradify charges per user (NZ$48/user/month ex-GST), so four sparkies is about $192 a month before GST. Toolie is one flat price for the whole crew, so putting on another registered electrician or apprentice costs nothing extra within your plan’s crew limit.
One flat price for your whole crew — and a demo before you sign up
Toolie is flat: Solo $49, Duo $89, Crew $129, Pro $249 (NZD ex-GST) — add the whole crew free, not per user. 14-day free trial, no credit card, no lock-in. And you can quote a real job on the demo before you ever create an account.

Common questions
How do I send a CoC and ESC digitally in NZ?
With Toolie you fill in the Certificate of Compliance and Electrical Safety Certificate on site, pre-filled from the job, then print them or save as PDF to give the customer — and each one is logged in your certificate register for audit.
Does Toolie handle the high-risk Record of Inspection?
Yes. For high-risk prescribed electrical work — mains, solar PV, medical — Toolie captures the independent inspector’s Record of Inspection and works out the 20-working-day high-risk database deadline, reminding you until it’s done.
Is there an NZ-built alternative to Tradify, Fergus or simPRO for electricians?
Yes. Toolie is New Zealand-built, flat-priced for your whole crew instead of per user, generates NZ electrical certificates natively, and lets you quote a job before you sign up.
Can I quote and invoice electrical work from my phone?
Yes. Build a priced quote on site, convert it to an invoice in a couple of taps, take payment and sync to Xero or MYOB — all from your phone, and it works offline on site.
