Job card and job management app for electricians in Stellenbosch
Omni Field is job management software for electricians in Stellenbosch. It schedules callouts across Die Boord, Paradyskloof, Idas Valley and the rest of Western Cape, tracks who is closest to the next job, captures a Certificate of Compliance, test results and an invoice on site, and invoices in Rand. It keeps working offline when the signal or the power drops.
Built for the way Stellenbosch electricians actually work
Between the university, the wine farms and the surrounding smallholdings, a single team serves residential, agricultural and commercial sites in the same week. The certificate is the product, and a certificate that lives in the back of a bakkie for a week is a job that cannot be invoiced. Omni Field puts the schedule, the technician’s location, the job record and the invoice in one place, so the job that was finished this morning is invoiced this morning.
Winter rainfall runs from June to August and summers are hot and dry, which shapes the year for electricians here: fault finding and DB board replacements do not arrive evenly across twelve months. Recurring work can be scheduled ahead of the season it belongs to, and emergency callouts can be dropped into a day that is already planned without losing the rest of it.
Areas covered around Stellenbosch
Teams using Omni Field dispatch across Die Boord, Paradyskloof, Idas Valley, Jamestown, Welgevonden and Cloetesville, and anywhere else in Western Cape. Jobs carry an address and a pin, the dispatcher can see which technician is nearest, and the customer gets an arrival window rather than "sometime this afternoon".

The work, and the paperwork that follows it
Electricians in Stellenbosch book fault finding, DB board replacements, compliance certificates, rewiring and generator and inverter changeovers. Each of those leaves site with a Certificate of Compliance, test results and an invoice.
A registered person issues the electrical Certificate of Compliance required on property transfer, and installations are wired to SANS 10142-1. Omni Field generates the job document from the job record itself and stores it against that job, so the copy the customer received and the copy you can find later are the same document.
A week of electrical work in Stellenbosch
A working week here usually mixes booked work with whatever comes in that morning. Compliance certificates and rewiring can be planned days ahead and slotted against the technician who is already working that side of Stellenbosch. Emergency fault finding cannot, and they arrive on the days you are already full.
Omni Field keeps both on one schedule. A dispatcher can see who is free, who is nearest and what is already booked, move a job without phoning three people, and tell the customer when someone will actually arrive. Recurring work, the kind that renews quietly if you never miss it, is scheduled once and repeats.
The record follows the technician rather than the office: job notes, photographs, the customer’s signature and a Certificate of Compliance are captured against the job on site. By the time the bakkie is back on the road, the invoice can already be with the customer.
Load shedding and patchy signal
The mobile app captures job details, photographs and signatures offline and syncs when the connection returns. A technician on a site with no coverage, or working through a load shedding slot, still records the job properly, and nothing has to be re-entered from memory that evening.
What it costs
There is a free plan for a solo operator. Paid plans start at R149 a month including one technician seat, then R149 per extra seat, including 15% VAT. Viewer users are free, and admin seats are R99 a month on PaYu and R199 on Growth. Prices are shown and charged in Rand, so there is no exchange rate between the quote and the debit order.
Questions from Stellenbosch electricians
- Does Omni Field work for a electrical business in Stellenbosch?
- Yes. Teams working across Die Boord, Paradyskloof, Idas Valley, Jamestown and the wider Western Cape area use it to schedule fault finding and DB board replacements, dispatch the nearest technician, and send the invoice before leaving site. Prices are shown and charged in Rand.
- Can electricians produce a Certificate of Compliance from the app?
- Job documents are generated from the job itself and can be emailed to the customer from site. A registered person issues the electrical Certificate of Compliance required on property transfer, and installations are wired to SANS 10142-1. Omni Field stores the record against the job so it can be found later without going through a filing cabinet.
- Does it keep working when the signal drops or the power goes out?
- The mobile app captures job details offline and syncs when the connection returns, which matters on sites with poor coverage and during load shedding. Nothing a technician records on site is lost because the network was not there.
- What does it cost for a small Stellenbosch team?
- There is a free plan for a solo operator. Paid plans start at R149 a month plus R149 per technician seat, including 15% VAT. Viewer users are free; admin seats are R99 per month on PaYu and R199 on Growth.
- How do my Stellenbosch clients pay me?
- Every invoice carries a Paystack payment link, so a client in Die Boord or Paradyskloof pays by card or instant EFT from the message on their phone, in Rand, and the invoice is marked paid without anyone retyping a reference. Settlement reaches your bank account in two to three business days with a 1% transaction charge, and there is no separate merchant account to open. Cash and EFT payments can still be recorded against the invoice by hand.
