The clocks have gone back, the nights are darker and the last thing you want after a day on site is another evening spent filling in electrical certificates.
You want to get home, have some dinner and spend time doing something you actually enjoy. Not open a notebook and start typing the same information all over again.
That’s why we built Certly: to make electrical certificates quicker and simpler to complete, with less repetitive typing and less admin following you home.
Shorter days. A better way to finish your certs.
When daylight feels in short supply, it makes sense to look at the jobs that stretch your working day. Certification is often one of them: sorting notes, finding photographs, checking what you left unfinished and pulling everything together after the practical work is done.
Electrical certification software should help you organise that work as you go. Use the time while you’re still on site to capture the details you’ll need, then check your report before you finish. Quicker paperwork should come from a better process, while keeping the care and attention the inspection needs.
EICR software that keeps the report together
Working on an Electrical Installation Condition Report? Certly’s EICR software brings circuit readings, board information and observations into one report. Add supporting photos and keep an eye on which sections still need attention.
That gives you a clearer picture of the certificate before you pack up, instead of discovering missing information at home. For repeat board information, the Copy DB workflow can also help cut repetitive entry.
An electrical certificate app for the way you work
You shouldn’t need to fit every job around a desk. Certly works on iPhone, iPad, Android and in a desktop browser, using the same account.
Use the device that suits the task: a phone for a quick entry, a tablet on site or a larger screen when you want more room. Save your changes and check they have synced before picking up on another device.
If you’re looking for an electrical certificate app or electrical testing software, think about the whole working day. Can you capture information where you need it? Is it clear what remains unfinished? Will the software help you avoid doing the same admin twice?
More than EICRs: certificates for different jobs
Your week may include an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate or PAT testing records, as well as EICRs.
Certly also offers EV and solar certificate options. Explore the certificate range to see what fits your work, or read our guide to EICRs, EICs and Minor Works certificates for an introduction to the differences.
Having the appropriate forms in one place means less time hunting for another template when the next job is different from the last.
Coming soon: more ways to cut repetitive admin
We’re preparing another major Certly update. Here’s a preview of the improvements we’re working on for the upcoming release.
- Client CSV import: bring existing client records into Certly with less manual entry.
- Licence allocation and availability: see which team licences are in use, available or reserved for invitations.
- Certificate duplication and shared templates: clearer starting points for your team’s paperwork. Each inspection still needs its own accurate, current information.
- Dashboards and inspection reminders: help keep upcoming work and certificate renewals in view.
- Team permissions, jobs and calendars: more control over access and planning.
- Photo editing and PDF improvements: more ways to prepare supporting images and present completed work.
We’ll confirm availability when the release is ready. The aim is the same throughout: fewer repeated tasks and a smoother route from the first entry to the finished certificate.
What makes the best electrical certification software for you?
The best electrical certification software for your business is the one that fits your jobs and is straightforward for you and your team to use. A long feature list is only useful if it makes the working day easier.
Try it on a typical draft certificate. Look at how you enter information, find unfinished sections and move between devices. If you work with a team, consider how you want people to prepare and review reports too.
Our aim is to make Certly the electrical cert software you reach for because it feels simple and saves unnecessary effort. If you need help, you can speak to a real person in the Certly team.
Make room for your evening
A darker drive home is enough. Your certificates don’t need to take over the rest of the night as well.
Whether you want more time with family, a trip to the gym, a hobby or simply a quiet evening, start by looking at the admin you can finish during the working day.
Less repetitive typing. Simpler certificates. More time doing what you want to do.
