Introduction:
Most field service software creates more problems than it solves. For Skärgårdspartner’s electrical teams working across Stockholm’s archipelago, the existing tools were working against them – not with them.
The Problem:
Skärgårdspartner’s electricians faced:
- Clunky digital tools that slowed them down rather than helped
- Disconnected systems requiring duplicate data entry
- Mobile-unfriendly interfaces that didn’t work in the field
- Time-consuming paperwork cutting into service time
Our Human-Centered Solution:
We created a service management system that:
- Observed First: Spent a week shadowing electricians to understand real pain points
- Built on Familiar Tech: Used WordPress/WooCommerce with our Contract Plugin for seamless adoption
- Designed for Real Work:
- Voice and photo documentation for glove-friendly use
- Instant Swish payments from any job site
- Unified calendar and job tracking
The Results:
- Electricians spend less time on admin and more with customers
- Faster invoicing and improved cash flow
- Happier teams with tools designed for their needs
- Stronger client relationships through better communication
Conclusion:
Good technology should merge into the workflow. For Skärgårdspartner, we built tools that electricians actually use because we built them with electricians, not just for them.
