Smart Home & EV Charger Installation
The right certification on every job — from video doorbell to 50-amp charger
Smart home and EV charger demand is growing faster than the trades that serve it, and every job type carries its own rules: a charger circuit needs a licensed electrician and a permit, a mesh network needs a different skill set entirely, and most installs start with an assessment visit that must not lose the customer before the install books. loTouch matches certifications to job types, links assessment to installation as one job, and holds permit-gated work until the approval actually lands.
What does smart home & ev charger installation business software do?
Smart home and EV charger installation software matches every job to an installer with the required certification — licensed electricians for charger circuits, automation specialists for networks — links assessment and installation visits as one record, and holds permit-gated installs until approvals land. loTouch adds generated landing pages per service and suburb, capturing demand that grows faster than the trades serving it.

The problems eating your margin
A certification question on every dispatch
A 50-amp charger circuit legally needs a licensed electrician; a smart-lock pairing doesn't. loTouch carries each installer's licences and skills, each job type's requirements, and only offers work to people qualified to do it — no compliance roulette at the whiteboard.
Customers who cool off between assessment and install
The site visit goes great, the quote goes out, and three weeks of silence later they've bought from the company that called back. Assessment, quote, approval and install live on one record — the customer approves digitally and the install books in the same minute.
Installs booked before the permit exists
A charger install scheduled ahead of its electrical permit is a wasted truck roll and an awkward call. Permit-gated job types hold until you mark the approval received, then book against the customer's availability — no van dispatched to a job that can't legally start.

The loTouch effect
What changes with loTouch
Catch the demand curve where it searches
Generated landing pages per service and suburb — EV charger installation, smart thermostats, whole-home automation — ranking for searches that barely existed five years ago and keep climbing.
An installer app with the full site file
Panel photos and load calculations from the assessment, the approved scope, permit references and hardware on every job card — so the installer arrives knowing the house, not discovering it.
Deposits, balances and rebate paperwork in one loop
Quotes take a deposit on approval, the balance charges at completion, and the documentation customers need for utility rebate programs attaches to the job record — fewer resend-the-invoice emails, faster referrals.
Your customers book, track and pay in your branded app.

FAQ
Questions smart home installers ask us
How does certification matching actually work?
Installer profiles carry licences, certifications and skills with expiry dates; each job type declares what it requires. An EV charger circuit only dispatches to licensed electricians, a network configuration to the technicians who hold that skill — and an expiring credential flags before it gaps your schedule.
How are assessment and installation visits connected?
As one job with two visits. The assessment captures panel capacity, photos and measurements; the quote builds from it and goes for digital approval; approval books the install with the scope and site file attached. The customer never re-explains their house, and the job never goes cold in an inbox.
Can loTouch hold jobs that are waiting on permits?
Yes. Permit-gated job types sit in a holding state with the application reference attached. When you mark the permit approved, the install books against the customer's availability automatically — the same pattern that keeps parts-pending repairs from dying in other trades.
We do both low-voltage smart home work and licensed electrical — can one system run both?
That's the point. Both kinds of work share the calendar, the customer records and the billing, while certification rules keep them properly separated at dispatch. A customer who started with a video doorbell becomes a charger install next year — on the same account, under your brand.
Does loTouch sync with QuickBooks?
Yes — invoices, payments and payroll records sync to QuickBooks, so your accountant keeps their system and you keep one source of truth. Job data stays exportable; loTouch is built to feed your books, not trap your data.
How does loTouch pricing work?
loTouch pricing is public: implementation from $3,500 one-time and a platform license from $400/mo, sized by team (1–10, 11–25 or 26–60 field providers), plus $40 per provider per month — office and manager seats are free, and end customers are free and unlimited. Payments run at standard processor rates plus a platform fee under 1% on card-on-file volume. See lotouch.ca/pricing for the full model and an instant estimator.
