BidCycle is electrical invoice software for small business shops — built so you can throw together a real bid from the truck, send it before the homeowner calls the next guy, and never eat another permit fee.
Build your first Electrical quote free — no credit card required"I'm bidding jobs at the kitchen table at 10pm instead of being with my family."
"By the time I get a quote out, the homeowner already hired the other guy."
"I forget to add the permit fees or trip charges and eat the cost on the back end."
"Copper prices jumped and now my old quote template is making me lose money."
"QuickBooks is fine for invoices but it's useless when I'm trying to build a real bid."
Every line item already lives in the app. Pull it in, adjust the count, send the quote. You're bidding against guys working out of a pickup with no overhead — you don't have time to rebuild a spreadsheet for every service call.
Save your labor hours, EMT and fittings, breakers, and permit pull as one line. Reuse it on every panel upgrade — adjust copper pricing in one place when it jumps.
Price per can with homerun and trim out factored in. Homeowner wants ten more? Bump the quantity, quote updates, done.
Wire run, breaker, disconnect, mounting, inspection — all preloaded. Quote a Level 2 install from the driveway before you leave the walkthrough.
Flat-rate or T&M (time and materials), your call. Tag it as a service call add-on and it rolls right into the ticket.
Old work box, fan-rated bracket, switch leg — every piece accounted for so you stop eating the trip back for the part you forgot to bid.
Rough-in, trim out, drywall patches, permit and inspection. Price by square footage and BidCycle does the math while you're still on the walkthrough.
Interlock kit or full ATS, your labor rate, and the permit fee. Built so you're hitting NEC requirements and not undercutting yourself.
Auto-added to every job type that needs one. No more pulling permits on your dime because you forgot the line.
Set your markup on materials privately. Customer sees a clean bid — you see your real margin.
Homeowner gets a link, hits approve, signs on their phone. No login, no portal, no excuses for not getting back to you.
Job's done? Turn the approved quote into an invoice with one button. Same line items, same totals, ready to send.
Invoices push straight into QuickBooks. Use QB for the books, BidCycle for the bid — they finally play nice.
"I was losing service call bids because I'd get back to the shop at 7 and not type up the quote until the next day. Now I'm sending it from the truck before I'm off the property. Panel upgrade quote in about four minutes — and I'm actually remembering the permit fees this time."
— Dave, Electrical contractor
Yes. A 200A service upgrade is one of the most common line items in BidCycle. Save your labor, wire, breakers, and permit fees as a template once and reuse it on every panel job — no more rebuilding the bid from scratch every time copper moves.
One click. Once the homeowner approves the quote, hit a button and it becomes an invoice with the same line items, taxes, and permit fees already on it. No retyping, no QuickBooks gymnastics.
It's built for it. If you're a one-truck shop or a small crew running service calls and the occasional rewire, $25 a month gets you everything. No per-user fees, no enterprise nonsense.

Send the bid the same day, get the approval signed on the homeowner's phone, and turn it into an invoice the minute trim out is done — so you're getting paid in days, not chasing it next month.
