When a electrical contractor asks us about AI document processing, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday? We start the build from that answer.
Electrical contractors · Applied AI
The version of AI document processing that electrical contractors still use a year after launch.
What AI document processing actually does
Scanned invoices, signed contracts, handwritten timesheets, PDF specs – extracted into clean data and routed where they belong. No more typing what someone already wrote.
- 01 Vision models read scans, photos, and handwriting
- 02 Pushes structured data into Xero, your CRM, or sheets
- 03 Confidence flags route low-certainty docs to a human
- 04 Handles te reo, bilingual forms, and old NZ templates
Built on: Claude Vision AWS Textract Mistral OCR Vercel
The honest read
Where most electrical contractors engagements actually deliver value.
- Electricians juggle callouts, compliance certificates, and quoting, usually from the front seat of a van.
- Certificates of compliance and quote turnaround are where electrical businesses either look professional or lose the job.
How we build AI document processing for electrical contractors.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a electrical contractor business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI for paperwork.
Talk to usThe outcome for electrical contractors
What changes for electrical contractors after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets.
Not your typical AI agency.
Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions
FAQ
When does AI document processing actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a electrical contractor – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Cuts data-entry labour by 80% on invoices, POs, and timesheets.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI document processing can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude Vision, AWS Textract, Mistral OCR, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
