Permit tracking, inspection scheduling, commercial job costing, and residential service call dispatch all require different systems and most electrical contractors manage them on spreadsheets and memory. TMI builds the infrastructure that holds it all together.
A residential service call and a commercial project with 20 active permits have nothing in common operationally. Most electrical shops run them with the same manual process -- and it shows in the callbacks, the missed inspections, and the job costing that never matches the estimate.
On a commercial project with multiple trades, you might have 12 active permits across two jurisdictions. Each has its own inspection schedule, documentation requirement, and expiration timeline. Missing a status check costs a week. Missing an inspection means a re-inspection fee, a schedule delay, and a GC who calls your competition next time. Most shops track this in a spreadsheet that one person maintains.
Labor burden, material escalation, change orders, and phased billing -- commercial electrical work is a job costing exercise from start to finish. Most contractors reconcile at the end of the job and discover the margin was 8 points lower than estimated. By then, the next job has been quoted using the same assumptions.
A residential service call needs to be at the customer's house in 2-4 hours. A commercial project crew needs to be sequenced around the GC's schedule, the inspection calendar, and material deliveries. Most dispatch systems handle one or the other. Running both in the same spreadsheet means one always suffers.
Most software covers one slice. TMI builds the infrastructure that connects every function of an electrical contractor -- from residential service dispatch to commercial permit management -- into one operating layer.
Commercial bids built with live labor rates and material pricing. Residential quotes generated on-site from the field app. Change orders documented and priced at the moment they happen -- not reconstructed from memory two weeks later.
Estimating & Job Costing →Residential service calls dispatched by proximity and availability. Commercial crew scheduling sequenced against the permit calendar and GC timeline. Both run in the same system -- no manual handoff between service and project.
AI Dispatch & Scheduling →Draw schedules tied to project milestones. Residential invoices generated at job close and collected in the field. Change orders billed automatically when approved. No invoice lag, no end-of-month reconciliation sprint.
Invoice & Payment Automation →Review requests sent after residential service calls. Commercial account re-engagement tied to project completion. Your residential reputation and commercial pipeline both managed without a separate marketing staff.
Customer Feedback & CRM →Permit status updated from the field. Inspection requests filed without office involvement. Material usage logged per phase. Techs document change conditions on-site so nothing gets reconstructed after the fact.
Field Data Capture →Job cost variance by project, inspection failure rate, permit delay cost, and material escalation tracked in real time. Know where commercial jobs are losing margin before the job closes -- not after.
Analytics & Reporting →These aren't features in a SaaS tool. These are custom-built systems designed around how electrical contractors actually run -- across residential service, commercial projects, and the permit infrastructure that connects both.
Every permit tracked by status, jurisdiction, and expiration. Inspection requests filed from the field automatically.
Labor burden, material pricing, and change orders tracked against the estimate in real time throughout the job.
Residential service calls and commercial crew scheduling in one system with different logic for each work type.
Commercial invoices triggered by project milestones. Change orders billed at approval. No billing falls through.
Techs log change conditions, material use, and inspection results from the field. No office callbacks required.
GCs and commercial clients see job status, inspection milestones, and documentation without calling your office.
Change conditions documented on-site, priced immediately, and tracked through approval to billing.
Job cost variance, material escalation, and labor overage tracked per project from start to close.
Master electrician licenses, journeyman cards, and continuing education requirements tracked with expiration alerts.
Material usage logged per job phase. Purchase orders tied to project budgets. Variance tracked automatically.
One call. We walk every process, bottleneck, and gap in your workflow. Nothing gets assumed. Nothing gets skipped.
Custom AI infrastructure built specifically for how you operate. Done for you. 14 days max. No templates. No generic software.
Your team gets trained. The system runs. We stay on for support. You never deal with a generic software vendor again.
Logs every permit, scheduled inspection, and result per job. No jobs close without passing. No inspections get missed.
Tracks license types, expiration dates, and continuing education requirements. You know who is compliant before they go on site.
Field crews request materials through the system. Approvals route automatically. Truck stock gets replenished without calls to the office.
Tracks every open bid, deadline, and follow-up. Nothing falls through because someone forgot to send the revised scope.
Matches service calls to the nearest qualified tech automatically. Drive time goes down. Billable hours go up.
Every callback gets logged against the original job. Pattern problems surface fast. Repeat callbacks stop being invisible losses.
We build a live compliance profile for every tech - license type, expiration date, and jurisdiction restrictions. The dispatch system only routes jobs to people cleared to do the work.
Yes. Every job that needs a permit gets tracked from application through final inspection. The system flags anything that has not passed before the job is marked complete.
Crews log material pulls against jobs. Truck stock gets tracked. Reorder triggers fire automatically when levels drop. You stop running out mid-job.
Yes. We build the system to handle both workflows - the fast turnaround of residential service and the longer cycle of commercial project management.
14 days from the discovery call to a live system. Your team gets trained before we hand it over.
