"Before Menaia, I was able to manage 3 to 4 crews a day. Now I can run anywhere between 10 to 12 in 2 different locations."

For electrical contractors coordinating field work
Keep the panel upgrade connected from quote through closeout.
The panel is one part of the job. Your office also has to carry the agreed circuits, access notes, crew assignments and inspection arrangements through the handoff. Menaia gives that work a shared record.
No long-term contract · Live and set in a week · 14-day free trial
Built hands-on with working service businesses.
One panel job. Several handoffs to get right.
An electrical shop can have the correct materials and still lose time to a missing note or an unconfirmed visit. Make the estimate, field brief and office closeout readable to the next person who touches the job.
Ask Meni to work from the electrical job record. Example conversation: You: “Prepare a reminder for the unsigned panel-upgrade quote.” Meni: “I have drafted a follow-up from the proposal for your approval.” The office checks any dates before sending. Ask about recorded hours or unpaid invoices too; Meni uses the workspace data, while your team confirms the job arrangements.
Upgrade scope
The panel is listed. The extra circuit is a conversation.
The crew cannot tell whether the additional run discussed on site made it into the accepted quote.
The fix
With Menaia, catalog lines and quantities carry the chosen scope from the estimate into the work order.
Circuits in scope Make the agreed additions readable See the estimator
Site conditions
A standard panel price misses the access work.
The estimator repeats a familiar price without exposing the wire, breaker and labor allowances for this property.
The fix
With Menaia, the calculator shows the inputs and cost breakdown so the estimator can check the specific upgrade.
Site-specific inputs Review the run as well as the panel See live margin
Labor planning
The upgrade allowance stops before closeout.
A short install target leaves the crew unclear about the time allowed for the rest of the agreed work.
The fix
With Menaia, estimated labor provides a recorded budget to compare with the electricians' actual job shifts.
Full-scope allowance Discuss the complete job target See time bonuses
Proposal detail
The customer expects the charger in the panel price.
An upgrade and a possible EV-charger addition were discussed together, but the proposal does not separate them.
The fix
With Menaia, you present the selected line items in a proposal the customer can review and sign.
Explicit additions Show what the accepted quote covers See proposals
Appointment handoff
An inspection note never reaches the assigned electrician.
The office has the arrangement in a message while the crew works from an older schedule.
The fix
With Menaia, tasks, appointments and job shifts can be reviewed on the calendar before the office publishes assignments.
Recorded commitments Keep the office and field plan aligned See scheduling
Pay explanation
The apprentice sees a bonus without the calculation.
A shared panel job includes different hours per worker, making an unexplained payout hard to follow.
The fix
With Menaia, the saved-hours pool is allocated by recorded job hours and shown in each worker's Wallet.
Individual contribution Show how job hours affect the share See the Wallet
Completed upgrade
The panel is in service. Billing is waiting on re-entry.
The office has to type the accepted equipment and labor lines into an invoice again.
The fix
With Menaia, you build billing from the estimate and review it with the job's field record at hand.
Scope-based billing Follow the accepted work into the invoice See invoicing
Repeat work
Panel overruns blend into the service-call total.
You know the shop sold work but cannot explain the labor outcome of the last upgrade.
The fix
With Menaia, the estimate, actual hours, discount and payout give you a concrete job to review with the estimator.

Quote the panel upgrade and its boundaries.
Start with a panel upgrade where the customer also asks about an EV charger. Your qualified team determines the electrical scope. In Menaia, select the panel, breakers, runs and labor you intend to include, then make the charger work explicit if it is part of the proposal.
- Choose the client and property first so the estimate and access notes refer to the right address.
- Enter panel and circuit quantities from the site assessment, using your own catalog costs and labor allowances.
- Check the material, labor and final-price breakdown, including any discount, before presenting the upgrade.
- Use the proposal to confirm the selected scope. The calculator supports your estimate; it does not determine electrical design or inspection requirements.

Turn office arrangements into a field plan people can read.
For a panel upgrade with a separately arranged inspection visit, the office first confirms the arrangements outside the software. Record the relevant appointment and job notes, assign the electricians, and check their other shifts before publishing. If the visit changes, revise the plan your team sees.
- Review time off and service appointments beside the proposed upgrade shifts to avoid assigning someone twice.
- Use the planner for the job's work items, people and equipment, with the accepted scope available to the crew.
- Keep before-work, installation and closeout photos in labeled project folders rather than on one electrician's phone.
- Record field hours against the upgrade so a later return visit is visible in the labor comparison.

Explain the payout using the upgrade hours.
The bonus calculation starts with the difference between the labor estimate and recorded shifts. Your branch rate values the hours saved, and the configured percentage sets the pool. Share that calculation with the crew alongside the complete work allowance.
- Allocate the pool according to each electrician's hours on the panel job, rather than leaving the split unexplained.
- Let workers review their job-linked entries in the in-app Wallet.
- Keep the payout cutoff in view: reopening before cutoff recalculates the job's payouts, while numbers after cutoff are final.

Electrical office and crew questions
Can the estimator separate a panel replacement from charger work?
Build the selected work from your own catalog items and quantities, then review the complete proposal with the customer. A charger addition should be represented in the scope you intend to sell. The price book and calculator are Core capabilities.
Will the software handle permits or approve the electrical design?
Your team determines the design and handles the external arrangements. Menaia holds the project scope, notes, files and schedule that support the work. Recording an inspection appointment does not obtain a permit, confirm a utility visit or approve an installation.
How does Meni help follow up a panel quote?
Ask “Draft a reminder about the panel proposal awaiting signature.” Meni can prepare the reply from the estimate and customer conversation. Check the scope and any dates before approving the message; the draft is not a confirmed crew assignment.
Can the electrician see the photos taken during estimating?
The project gallery stores photos, videos and PDFs in folders your team names. Keep the site assessment and finished panel records on that project, alongside the job scope, so the field team can find the information when assigned.
Can I review panel labor without mixing in unrelated service calls?
Actual hours come from shifts on the job. Record each electrician's upgrade work there and keep separate service work on its own job. Comparing those hours with the estimate gives the office a labor-variance signal, not a complete net-profit calculation.
How should a ten-person electrical shop compare plans?
At monthly rates, Core plus five extra seats is $374.99, with 6,000 tokens and the catalog calculator. Pro is $569.99 for fifteen seats and 17,000 tokens, plus Meni data integrations. Count both office and field users, then estimate the phone and AI usage before choosing.
Can we try a real panel job during onboarding?
Guided onboarding and data migration come with every plan, and the trial includes 14 days with 1,500 tokens. Bring the panel catalog, a customer record and a scoped job. Have the office and one field user check their parts of the workflow before bringing everyone in.
Use a panel upgrade to check every handoff.
Bring an estimate with an added circuit or charger and the crew plan that followed it. Review how the scope, dates, photos, hours and invoice stay connected.
