Fergus job management software is changing the way electrical contractors run their businesses, helping them streamline operations, improve customer service and meet the challenge of growing a business.
KA Electrical, based in West Wales, found that as the business grew, handling jobs and invoicing using paper and bank notes became unmanageable, leading to missed invoices and lost revenue. Founder Kieran Hughes turned to Fergus to bring everything into one place.
A central dashboard provides an instant overview of work progress, invoices, and everything the team needs to keep track of. The inquiry management tool, which links directly to their website and automatically fetches new job applications, was particularly valuable, helping KA Electrical avoid errors and manage incoming work easily. Automated tools such as terms of trade attached to emails have added a layer of professionalism, enhancing customer confidence and legal protection.
“At the start of every business, you try to juggle everything on scraps of paper, notes and pictures, and then you realize you need something better,” says Kieran. “Fergus has helped us keep everything in one place and keep track of jobs and business cards.”
Rolling Renewables, a family-run business in Worcestershire, also found that management became stressful as the business expanded. Becoming Fergus has revolutionized the way they work. Using the Fergus Go mobile app, installers can now access job details and documents directly from their phones, real-time communication ensures seamless coordination, and a scheduling feature allows operations manager Corey Revell to assign tasks effortlessly.
“Documentation was a big problem,” Corey recalls. “When you have multiple installers, keeping track of what’s happening on the road, managing paperwork, ensuring jobs stay profitable — it was exhausting at times,” Corey says. Fergus Go has changed all that. “When they get to the site, all they have to do is reach for the phone, they can look at all the documents – and they have everything they need.”
Cornwall-based Weidner Electrical provides a wide range of electrical services, but as their workload grew, managing everything with calendars and spreadsheets became chaotic. Reactive maintenance created a constant demand for accurate record keeping, tracking materials was always a challenge and VAT returns took weeks. Fergus provided the structure they needed.
“Fergus has made a huge difference – he has saved us a lot of time and stress,” says owner Tristan. “When it came time to make a VAT return, we would stay up until midnight for several nights, trying to get all the invoices. Now we can set aside an hour and get it done. VAT returns that used to take three weeks now take just a few days.
Fergus is not just a program; It is a comprehensive solution designed specifically for commercial businesses. By centralizing operations and offering powerful tools, they help contractors save time, increase profits, and maintain control of their growing business. For contractors looking to expand their business while staying organized, Fergus is the perfect job management partner.
