Electrical estimating has always been an office job. Drawings on the desk, price lists in a folder, spreadsheet on the screen. But contractors don’t work like that anymore – and neither should their estimating software.
Electrika‘s latest platform upgrade means contractors can now build, review, and amend quotes on any device. Desktop, tablet, or phone. On site, in the van, or at the kitchen table. Everything runs in the browser – no app to download, no software to install.
The upgrade is the most significant in Electrika’s 30-year history, bringing a fully mobile-responsive interface, improved security, and a redesigned user experience. But critically, all existing quotes, kits, contacts, and data remain exactly where users left them. Nothing has been lost or moved – the platform just works better, on more devices, in more places.
Why does this matter?
Because contractors increasingly need to price work away from the office. A main contractor asks for a variation while you’re on site. A client wants a quick price for additional sockets during a walkround. A subcontractor needs to check a rate before committing.
With Electrika, the answer is already in your pocket. Pull up the quote, check the price, adjust the quantity, and send it – all from your phone.
Still free, still shareable
The platform upgrade hasn’t changed what makes Electrika unique: it remains completely free. No subscription, no per-seat licence, and no limits on sharing. Manufacturer trade prices from Schneider Electric, Hager, Ansell Lighting, MK Electric, and more than 25 other leading brands are built in and updated automatically.
Contractors can share quotes with colleagues, clients, and subcontractors without anyone needing to purchase software. A growing firm can give every team member access at no cost. A freelance estimator can serve multiple clients from one account.
What’s coming next
Later in 2026, Electrika will introduce AI-powered product assistants, allowing contractors to find and specify products using plain language instead of scrolling through catalogue pages. A Pro subscription tier is also in development, offering advanced features such as variation pricing and a business dashboard at a modest monthly cost.
