Shouldered AI / For electricians and electrical contractors
You be the electrician. We shoulder the rest.
Panel upgrades, EV chargers, service calls, new builds: you know the work. Shouldered gives your shop one HQ that answers chat, email and text, texts back every missed call, sends the quotes, tracks every permit and inspection, and gets the invoice paid. You keep the lights on. We shoulder the rest.
"Permits and inspections eat my week."
Nehemiah at the Operations Desk files and tracks every permit, books the inspection, and tells you and the customer when it passed or what the inspector wants.
"I quote jobs and never hear back."
Lydia at the Sales Desk follows up on every panel, generator and EV charger quote, answers questions and books the ones that are ready.
"Contractors pay me in 60 days if I'm lucky."
Matthew at the Finance Desk sends progress invoices on time, keeps lien deadlines on the calendar for you, and chases late payers politely and often.
"I can't answer the phone on a ladder."
Tabitha at the Service Desk answers every message, texts back every missed call, separates the sparking outlet from the ceiling fan install, and books it the right way.
Simon and seven desks of Heroes, working for electricians.
Tells you each morning what passed inspection, what is waiting on a permit, what quotes are hot and who owes you.
Answers chat, email and text, texts back every missed call, asks the safety questions first, books the job and texts the customer when you are on the way. Answering calls by voice is coming soon; until then calls ring through to your team, and every missed call gets a text back.
Sends quotes for panel upgrades, EV chargers and generators, follows up, and keeps builders and GCs coming back.
Invoices from the job, sends progress billing on commercial work, chases late payers and keeps books ready for your accountant.
Tracks permits, inspections and license renewals, schedules crews by job, and keeps material lists with each ticket.
Collects reviews after every job, answers them, and reaches out to builders and property managers you want to work with.
Simon runs HQ: all the tech and all the brain power, and the one you talk to. Each of the seven desks is run by a Hero, and Simon directs all seven and answers for them. A person approves what matters, and legal, tax, medical and financial decisions stay with you and your licensed advisers.
By 7 am HQ has confirmed today's two service calls and the rough-in inspection at the Miller remodel. A homeowner who wants an EV charger got a quote while you were driving, with a follow-up set for Friday. The GC on the strip mall job got his progress invoice on the 1st, as always. Simon's evening note: inspection passed, $6,800 collected, one permit still waiting at the city.
An illustration, not a promised result.
Start
Most shops start on Small: up to 5 seats and 80 hours a month, $750 a month paid for the year (Founding price: $500, first 50 companies only), plus $1,000 onboarding once. Messages, missed call texts, quotes, permits and invoices are handled from the start.
Grow
As crews grow, move to Medium (up to 20 seats, 200 hours, $1,875 a month paid for the year) or add hours at $12.50 each. Take on more jobs without doubling the paperwork.
Your Hero is here to improve the human. Your HQ, led by Simon, is here to improve your business.
Two prices, and 50 Founding places.
First, what the work costs you today. A full-time office manager runs most small businesses about $4,000 to $5,000 a month with taxes and benefits, and goes home at five. Every call nobody answers is a job that goes to someone else.
Business coaching often costs $5,000 to $7,500 for one session day. HQ does the work every month, with a coach running the Shouldered Way and workshops included. Already have a coach? HQ works alongside them.
Founding 50: of 50 places left. When they are gone, this price closes.

Prices are per month. Only the first 50 companies (the Founding 50) get the Founding price with a two-year commitment, paid yearly by bank transfer, and keep it for as long as they renew. Pay yearly by bank transfer and take 3% off. Onboarding is $1,000 for Small and $2,000 for Medium, paid once, and free at Shouldered events. It is one 1-hour call: technical setup with our technical team first, then your business with our team. The person who sold you HQ joins your onboarding call. Paid for the year, you get a named person who checks in every month. Month to month gets standard support. Twenty-one people and up is built around you. More seats are $25 each (Founding price $20), and more hours $12.50 each; hours count only while HQ is working, like minutes on a phone plan.
Enterprise and government. For large companies and public agencies. Custom plans start at $5,000 a month. Pilots are paid. We start SOC 2 Type 1 work in 2027. Texas agencies: we are working toward TX-RAMP.
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
The onboarding fee is not refunded. The guarantee asks one thing of you: let HQ do its work. Give it the access it needs and review its work in good faith. If our records show you kept declining or blocking the work HQ set out to do, the guarantee does not apply. If we see that happening, we tell you in writing so you can fix it.
The six months start the day HQ goes live for you. The Founding 50 are included. The guarantee covers HQ only, never coach fees.
Will it pull permits for me?
It prepares and tracks permit applications and inspection bookings and tells you what each city needs. Anything that needs your license or signature still comes to you.
Can it handle commercial billing?
Yes. It sends progress invoices on your schedule, tracks retainage and payment dates, and chases late payers. Deborah at the Legal Desk and lien decisions stay with you and your attorney.
Does it work with the tools I use now?
We connect it to your job, invoice and payment tools during onboarding. Your customer list, job history and numbers stay in your own system. We work inside it, we do not take it.
How long does it take to set up?
You can try a 7 day trial environment. Onboarding is one 1-hour call. Setup takes up to 30 days, you see results in months 2 and 3, and it runs smoothly by month 6.
What if it does not help?
If HQ does not complete at least 40 hours of real admin work a month for you in your first six months (100 hours on Medium), tell us by the end of month five and we refund every dollar you paid for the plan.
