The Commusoft alternative for UK electricians
Commusoft is field-service management built for established companies. SparkCerts is for the sole trader and small electrical firm that wants the certificate, quote and invoice in one place for a flat fee.
Commusoft is a comprehensive field service platform: scheduling, stock, multiple engineers, a customer database and reporting, priced per user for a growing service business. It does not natively generate BS 7671 electrical certificates. SparkCerts trades that breadth for focus and a flat price, with the EICR and EIC built in.

Where Commusoft is the better choice
If you run a multi-engineer service operation that needs stock control, planned maintenance and deep reporting, Commusoft is built for that scale. SparkCerts is built for the one-to-a-handful electrical firm.
Why electricians switch to SparkCerts
Whichever tool you are weighing up against, the reasons sparks move to SparkCerts are the same:
- Every BS 7671 certificate built in: EIC, EICR, Minor Works, gas CP12, PAT, EV and emergency lighting.
- Readings checked on site, so an impossible Zs or a failed RCD is caught before the certificate is signed.
- Quote, certificate and invoice in one record, so nothing is retyped between three apps.
- A flat 12 pounds a month for the whole firm, no per-seat fee.
- No contract: cancel any month and export every document as a standard PDF.

Common questions
Does Commusoft include electrical certificates?
Commusoft is field service management and does not natively produce BS 7671 certificates such as the EICR. SparkCerts includes them in the job record.
Is Commusoft overkill for a sole trader?
For a one-person electrical business Commusoft's scheduling, stock and multi-engineer features are more than is usually needed, and the per-user pricing reflects a larger firm. SparkCerts is a flat 12 pounds a month aimed at sole traders.
