Where Vorqali fits electricians better
ServiceM8 is a broad field-service platform. Vorqali is designed around the parts of the job that are specific to electrical contractors.
Electrical quote templates
80+ electrician quote templates across 10 packs — switchboards, EV chargers, smoke alarms, data and comms and more — so quotes start from a known electrical base.
Automated quote follow-up
Email and SMS sequences chase open quotes automatically and pause the moment a customer responds, accepts or declines.
NSW electrical compliance evidence
Capture NSW electrical testing, CCEW and completion evidence against the job, with completion requirements built in — not handled as an afterthought.
Field evidence tied to jobs
Photos, notes, time and materials attach to the specific electrical job and visit, so the record of work stays together.
Electrician-specific workflow
Estimate → quote → follow-up → job → visit → evidence → invoice → payment, designed around how electrical contractors actually work.
Job-cost margin visibility
See estimated versus actual job-cost margin so you know which electrical work actually makes money.
Built by a licensed electrician
Vorqali is built by a licensed electrician for Australian electrical contractors, so the workflow reflects real electrical jobs.
