If you are looking for a time tracking app for electricians, the biggest problem usually is not “tracking time”. It is tracking time per job reliably — especially when you move between sites, do small fixes, or buy materials in between. The goal is simple: fewer forgotten hours, fewer missing expenses, and cleaner billing history.
What electricians should track (per project)
A good workflow is project-based: one job = one timeline + one expense trail.
- Work hours: on-site time per client/job.
- Travel time (optional): if you bill or analyze it separately.
- Materials and parts: receipts, invoices, and small purchases.
- Notes: what was done, who requested it, and when.
Why GPS time tracking helps with on-site work
Manual timers fail when your day is busy. GPS-based tracking supports the “arrive → work → leave” rhythm of on-site jobs. You set the job address and track time when you are at the location.

Receipts: the hidden money leak
Electricians often have many small receipts: connectors, fuses, cable, fasteners, transport. If they are not captured and linked to the right job, they disappear at tax time — or you end up underbilling.
A receipt scanner app helps you store the receipt immediately and connect it to the project: AI receipt scanning for project expenses.
Reports that make invoicing easier
Your ideal output is a project summary: hours + expenses in one place. This is what customers understand and what accounting needs. Read more: Project reports for invoicing and taxes.
