Track my arrival

Your customer sees who's coming before you knock

Tap On my way and your customer gets a text with a link. It shows your face and first name, where you are on a live map, and how long until you get there. When you arrive, it says so.

Demo with a made-up business. The street map is drawn for the demo; the real page shows a Google map.

Peace of mind at the doorOlder customers, or anyone home alone, know who's knocking before they open up.
No more "Where are you?" callsThey can see you're 10 minutes away, so they don't ring you while you're driving.
Looks the partA tidy page with your business name, logo and phone number. On by default, on every plan.

Your face is your cartoon character, or a real photo if your business uses them and the person has agreed
Only your latest spot is shared, and only from On my way until you arrive
After the job, a quick private "How did they go?" rating for the customer (Sparky Plus plan and up)

Your sparky mate who knows his stuff

Ask Max a quick question. He'll give you a straight answer, show where the numbers come from, and point you to the clause to check.

In the app, Max tidies your notes and quote wording, runs the calculators for you and turns your Site Walk photos and voice notes into a draft quote (in early access now). On bigger jobs he reads the plan legend, counts every sheet and reads the whole tender pack.

Our story

Built by a Sparky for Sparkies

I've been a sparky for over 30 years, and I've run my own business. Every job app I tried was built for every trade at once: generic forms, generic quotes, and nothing that understood the way electricians actually work.

So I built SparkyBuddy for our trade. Quote on site, do the job, test and certify, and get paid before you leave the driveway.

The goal is simple: finish the day all caught up, with nothing waiting for you at home.
