System design lives in too many tools
Schematics, device schedules and KNX or Control4 programming notes scattered across email, spreadsheets and your laptop. Keep the design record on the job where the whole team can find it.

Sound familiar?
The day-to-day headaches smart home installers tell us about most — and how Gaffer fixes them.
Compliance and network sign-off get forgotten
Part P electrical, IoT security and commissioning records left until the handover scramble. Capture them on site against the job so nothing is missing when the client wants to see it.
Quotes for big systems take too long
Multi-room, multi-system proposals are slow to price and easy to lose work over. Build a tidy quote from saved templates and send it from your phone before the client cools off.
Everything smart home installers need in one place
Compliance & records
Part P electrical, network security and commissioning records captured on site — no re-typing back at the office.
Fast quoting
Saved templates and line-item pricing so KNX, Control4 and Lutron proposals go out in minutes, not days.
Scheduling & dispatch
See every installer's day, avoid double-booking across long fit-out jobs, and send "on my way" texts automatically.
Invoicing & payments
Turn a signed-off install into an invoice instantly, take card or Direct Debit, and get paid faster.
Customer comms & reminders
Keep clients updated through design, install and handover, and remind them automatically when a service or upgrade is due.
Offline mobile app
Complete records and capture photos in a new-build with no signal — it all syncs the moment you are back online.

Yes. The Smart Home Installer Trade Pack includes Part P Electrical, Commissioning and Handover record workflows you can complete on site and store against the job and customer.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The field app is offline-first, so you can capture install records, network details and photos with no signal and everything syncs when you are back online.
Will it connect to my accounting software?
Yes. Invoices and customers sync with Xero and QuickBooks, so there is no double entry.
