Custom Software for Electrical Contractors

Your installs are documented.
Your compliance isn't.

Volano builds custom software for electrical contractors that matches the way they work: commodity tracking, assembly management, compliance documentation, and real-time project dashboards your project managers will actually use.

The Problem

Paper install sheets. Material you can't account for. Compliance records you hope hold up.

When you’re managing a large commercial or industrial electrical project, three things have to be true at all times: you need to know what’s been installed and by whom, you need to know what material you have left, and you need to be able to prove all of it to code when someone asks.

Most teams are doing that on paper, spreadsheets, and memory. The crew fills out the install sheet. Someone re-enters it. The reel moves to the next job, and nobody knows how much cable is left until they’re already on-site and short. When the compliance review comes, you’re putting a paper trail back together that should have been automatic.

That’s what we fix.

What We Build

Custom software built around how electrical work actually gets done.

We’ve built commodity tracking systems, field mobile apps, and assembly management tools for electrical contractors. As a custom software development shop, we can build anything to work the way you do — not the other way around.

Application icon
Offline-first field apps

Large facilities kill cell signal where the work is. Our mobile apps work without it. Crews scan, log, and document installs offline and everything syncs when the connection comes back. Paper fallback included, because some situations require it.

Assembly icon
Assembly tracking

Assemblies built in the shop get tagged with a QR code before they ship. When the crew installs one on-site, they scan it and the system marks every component inside as installed in one step. Shop to wall, every assembly accounted for.

Inventory icon
Real-time inventory tracking

Every cable pull updates the footage left on that reel. Every conduit run does the same. Project managers see current inventory without making a call, and crews don't show up short.

Documentation icon
Compliance Documentation

Every install record captures the installer, the tester, and what the test showed. The system generates formatted compliance reports on demand. When someone asks for the paperwork, you pull the report instead of rebuilding it.

Integration icon
Installer assignment + BIM 360 interface

Every install gets tied to the person who did it, and the system tracks who did what and when and keeps that record clean when crews rotate. What the crew logs in the field maps back to your BIM 360 drawings automatically, so the paperwork and the plans stay in step without anyone cross-referencing two systems.

Dashboard icon
Project dashboards

Pull up the job and see where things stand — what's in, what's behind, what's blocked — without tracking anyone down. Updated in real time from the field.

Case Studies

We've done this before. For contractors like you.

Hunt & Miller Electric

Paper install sheets and a Microsoft Access database couldn't keep pace with a one million square foot data center project. We built a mobile app that replaced both — real-time commodity tracking, offline sync for the areas with no signal. The project team could see where things stood without a single phone call to the field.

Capital Electric

A full commodity tracking system covering conduits, cables, reels, terminations, and equipment. QR-coded install packs, field data entry on mobile, compliance-ready reports, and project dashboards. Built and in production in under six months.

How It Works

From "we have a problem" to working software in weeks, not months.

1
Discovery conversation

We learn your process and what needs to be built. You get documented outcomes and a clear cost range before we start.

2
We start building

Within weeks you're looking at real screens and real functionality, built around your process. Not a mockup.

3
You give feedback, we keep going

We show you progress regularly and adapt as you learn more. The end product fits your team because your team helps shape it.

4
Launch and support

We get your team up and running, go live, and stay close through the first weeks of production. Ongoing support is there as the system grows

Still tracking installs on paper? Let's fix that.

We work with electrical contractors who are ready to replace paper and guesswork with software that documents every install, tracks every reel, and has the compliance reports ready when someone asks. If that's your situation, we'd like to hear about the job.
