Switchboard shorthand straight into a Xero draft. Say "new DB, 4 GPOs, 2 RCDs, 3 hours labour" and FlowSpec drafts the quote into Xero in about 30 seconds, priced from your own Xero items.
See it draft a real quote into Xero.
Sound familiar?
You walk through a 30-year-old board, count the circuits in your head, and quote on the spot. Back home you realise the main switch, two RCBOs, and 10 metres of sub-main slipped through. The quote takes twice as long as it should, and the margin gets thin where you missed a line.
You priced TPS 2.5mm and a stack of GPOs in Xero months ago. Now you are typing those same numbers in again by hand for this job, copying from one screen to another, hoping the customer waits while you find them.
The kids are in bed and you are at the kitchen table, keying line items into Xero for the three jobs you looked at today. That is the part of the day a sparky most wants back. FlowSpec is built to give it back.
A real job, start to finish
Here is a switchboard upgrade: new DB, 4 GPOs, 2 RCDs, and 3 hours labour, the way it runs through FlowSpec.
What you say
"Switchboard upgrade for John Smith at 14 George St. New DB, 4 GPOs, 2 RCDs, 3 hours labour."
What FlowSpec does with it
About 30 seconds from the spoken memo to a draft sitting in Xero. The same job typed by hand is a kitchen-table session.
How it works
Talk through the job and FlowSpec carries it the rest of the way.
Talk it through like you would to your apprentice. "New DB, 4 GPOs, 2 RCDs, run 30m of TPS, 3 hours labour." Record on site or type it out. FlowSpec reads sparky shorthand and holds up with dirty hands and patchy signal, so you quote at the board instead of waiting until you are back at the office.
Every GPO, RCBO, length of cable, and run of conduit matches to your own Xero items at your own sell prices. Your labour rate goes on, GST is applied per line, and the client is matched or created in Xero from the name and address you said.
A priced draft quote lands in your Xero account with the right line items, account codes, and tax types. Review it, adjust anything you want, and send. It is waiting in Xero by the time you reach the next job, and it learns your phrasing so the next quote reads even cleaner.
Built for how sparkies work
A spoken job becomes a Xero quote, priced from your own items, with the client set and the draft ready.
Say "GPO" the way you say it on site. FlowSpec reads RCD, RCBO, MCB, DB, TPS, XLPE, choc block, batten holder, and hundreds more, and it remembers the phrasing you use most so each quote reads cleaner than the last.
Every line comes in at your own sell prices, the numbers already on your Xero items. Update an item in Xero and FlowSpec picks it up. So a switchboard upgrade quotes at your margin, on your numbers.
Say the customer name, phone, and address. FlowSpec matches an existing Xero contact or creates one, so the quote is tied to the right client the moment it lands.
A real Xero draft quote, every line with its account code and tax type, GST applied. Skip the double entry and the late copy from notepad to Xero. Open it, give it a look, and send.
Works for every electrical job
New board, RCBOs, main switch, cable runs, conduit, labour. Describe the lot and FlowSpec prices every component from your own Xero items. Each line is caught the first time, the sub-main and the earth stake included.
Power points, light circuits, smoke detectors, data points, downlights. Walk the plans, talk it out, get a priced quote in seconds. Made for new homes, commercial fit-outs, and renos where the material list runs long and a line is easy to miss.
Fault finding, safety switch swaps, ceiling fan installs, smoke alarm upgrades, hot water connections. Quick jobs that still deserve a proper quote. FlowSpec drafts them in about 30 seconds so you move straight to the next call.
Why sparkies choose FlowSpec
30 seconds talking on site beats 45 minutes typing at the kitchen table. The first quote in the inbox usually wins the job, and yours is already there while the other sparky is still writing up notes.
Every line priced from your own Xero items, at your own sell prices. The TPS 6mm, the GPOs, the RCDs, all on the numbers you have already set and keep current in Xero.
Talk through the whole job and FlowSpec pulls out every component, the first time. That keeps the margin you priced and saves the awkward call when a missed line shows up mid-install.
Quotes finished on the drive home, with the evening yours again. You earned an electrical licence for the work, and FlowSpec hands the admin time back to you.
