More about Zigaflow for Lighting & Electrical
The common thread is that managing customer projects, supplier procurement, installation teams, and service contracts through separate tools — or no tools at all — creates inefficiency and margin leakage at every stage. Quotes take too long. Purchase orders get missed. Service visits slip without a proper scheduling system. Cash flow suffers because invoicing happens days or weeks after work is completed.
Zigaflow gives lighting and electrical businesses a single connected platform that manages the entire commercial operation, from initial enquiry through specification, procurement, installation, commissioning, and ongoing service — with the real-time visibility to run a profitable, scalable business.
The problems we solve
Quoting complex specifications accurately
A detailed lighting or electrical specification with multiple product lines, installation labour, and accessories can take hours to quote accurately.
Zigaflow lets you build comprehensive specifications with saved product and labour templates. Margins are calculated automatically, and professional quotes are formatted and sent in a fraction of the time.
Equipment procurement and delivery management
Sourcing products from multiple suppliers, tracking delivery dates, and ensuring equipment arrives on site when it is needed — rather than too early or too late — is a constant operational challenge that causes delays and damages client relationships.
Generate purchase orders directly from project specifications, track supplier confirmations and delivery dates, and receive alerts when deliveries are delayed so you can adjust the installation schedule proactively.
Installation scheduling and team coordination
Scheduling installation teams across multiple concurrent projects, managing their daily activities, and tracking what has and has not been completed is a management challenge that typically takes significant time to coordinate manually.
Zigaflow gives every job a clear task structure with team assignments and deadlines. Engineers update job status from site, giving office staff real-time visibility without chasing for updates.
