Frequently asked questions
Can BackSight handle rough-in and fit-off stages?
Yes. Set up stages such as rough-in, fit-off and completion on the job. Claim each stage when it is done, with retention if the contract needs it.
Can I add my own price list?
Yes. Your inventory items with sell prices, plus your labour rate, appear in the price book when you build quotes and invoices.
Does BackSight issue electrical safety certificates?
No. You can build your own forms and checklists to record information on the job, but statutory certificates must still be completed the way your state regulator requires.
Can my electricians use it on a phone?
BackSight’s screens adapt to phones and tablets, and you can try that in the demo, which stays in your browser with sample data. Firm accounts, with jobs shared across office and phones, are being set up for founding survey firms first. Public sign-up isn’t open yet.
