Quote the job from the panel, not the kitchen table.
Staxen is the AI office assistant for electrical contractors. Tap the mic, say the scope, and it writes the estimate, texts it to the customer for e-signature, invoices when the work is done, and follows up until the money lands. You run the wire. It runs the paperwork, from the first service call to the final panel label.

The paperwork problems every electrician knows
Quotes scribbled on the panel schedule
You price the service call on the back of a panel schedule, then retype it at nine at night. By the time the customer sees a number, another electrician already sent one.
Change orders while the walls are open
The homeowner adds six recessed cans and an EV circuit mid rough-in. Nothing gets written down, and at final you either eat the argument or eat the cost.
Chasing rough-in and trim money
GCs and homeowners pay slow at every milestone. You finish trim on Thursday and spend three weeks of Fridays asking about the check.
What Staxen does for electricians
Two hundred amp panel swap at 44 Birch, permit included, thirty two hundred.
Staxen turns that one sentence into a formal estimate: the customer at 44 Birch, a 200A panel upgrade line item with the permit noted, priced at $3,200. You review it, then Staxen texts the customer a link to read and e-sign from their phone. Once they sign, you can collect a deposit by card or ACH on the spot.
Panel swaps quoted by voice
Tap the mic, say the scope and the price. Staxen drafts the estimate with line items, you review it on your phone, and it goes to the customer by text for e-signature.
Change orders before the drywall closes
Added cans, added circuits, added price. Say it once and the customer approves by text or email, so the extra work is in writing before you pull the wire.
Milestone billing for rough-in and trim
Split the job into rough-in, trim, and final. Staxen invoices each stage, takes card or ACH online, and sends escalating reminders until each one is paid.
Counts straight off the lighting plan
Upload the plan PDF and Staxen drafts estimate line items straight from it. You check the counts and fixture types before anything goes out.
Supply house receipts, filed by photo
Snap the counter receipt and Staxen reads it and files it to the job, so material costs stop living on the dash of the van.
QuickBooks stays current
Estimates and invoices push to QuickBooks Online when you send them, and payment status pulls back. Your books match the jobs without retyping a thing.
Line items that sound like your trade
Estimates read like an electrician wrote them, because you did. A few line items the way they come out on a Staxen estimate:
- 200A panel upgrade, labor, breakers, and permit: Typical example: $2,800 to $4,200 depending on service condition and permit fees.
- Romex 12/2 homerun, per drop: Priced per drop, so remodel scope changes stay easy to add mid job.
- Recessed LED can, supply and install, per fixture: Example: $160 to $240 per fixture, trim included.
- EV charger circuit, 50A, up to 40 ft run: Example: $850 to $1,400 depending on panel capacity and run length.
- Service call, first hour, diagnostic included: A flat first hour keeps small calls profitable and easy to quote over the phone.
- Ceiling fan swap, existing rated box: A clean add-on line item for extra work while you are already on site.
Things electricians ask us
Can Staxen quote a panel upgrade by voice?
Yes. Tap the mic, say the scope and the price, and Staxen drafts the estimate with line items. You review it before anything is sent, then it texts the customer a link to e-sign from their phone.
What happens when the homeowner adds work mid job?
Say the added scope and price and Staxen writes it up as a change order. The customer approves it by text or email, so the extra circuits are in writing before the drywall goes back up.
Can Staxen price a job off a lighting plan?
Yes. Upload the plan PDF and Staxen drafts estimate line items straight from it. It works on plan sets generally, not just electrical sheets, and you review every count before the estimate goes out.
Does Staxen replace QuickBooks?
No, it feeds it. Estimates and invoices push to QuickBooks Online when you send them, and payment status pulls back automatically. Your accountant keeps QuickBooks. You stop opening it.
