Electrical & Instrumentation Software
E&I work spans project-based construction and reactive service calls. Aimsio helps electrical and instrumentation companies track both with accurate time capture, material costing, and client-ready billing.
Electrical & Instrumentation challenges Aimsio solves
These are the problems that keep electrical & instrumentation companies from getting paid on time.
Mixed Work Types
Your E&I team is commissioning instrumentation at three facilities simultaneously, each at a different stage. Loop checks are running on one site, calibration is running on another, and punch list items are piling up on the third. Your lead technician is jumping between sites and tracking progress in a notebook.
Incomplete Inspection Records
Every instrument needs a completed loop check and calibration record before handover. Your technicians are completing the checks in the field on paper forms that get handed in at day's end. If a form is incomplete or a value doesn't pass, you find out at the end of the day when rescheduling is expensive.
Undocumented Scope Changes
Brownfield E&I work always reveals more than the drawings show. Your team finds an undocumented instrument, a wiring discrepancy, or a damaged cable that wasn't in the original scope. Without a formal process to capture and price that extra work before doing it, you're absorbing costs and hoping the client agrees to pay when the invoice arrives.
One platform for E&I projects and service calls
Aimsio handles both project-based E&I construction and reactive service calls from a single platform. Track materials, capture technician time, and generate client-ready invoices without switching between systems.
Aimsio is a great software and an even better team. They work hard to make the transition to Aimsio as smooth as possible. Their customer service is incredible. I recommend Aimsio all the time to anyone who complains they have a system that doesn't work for them. We're very happy we made the switch to Aimsio.

Answers to what E&I companies ask us most.
What is electrical and instrumentation software?
Electrical and instrumentation software is a platform designed to manage the project and billing workflows of E&I companies, covering both project-based construction and reactive service call work. It handles technician time capture, material cost tracking, purchase order management, job costing, and client invoicing in a single system built for the complexity of E&I project delivery.
Can Aimsio handle both project-based work and T&M service calls?
Yes. Aimsio supports project-based billing with phases and cost codes alongside time-and-materials service call billing, all in the same platform. Your technicians capture their time and materials the same way regardless of contract type, and billing is generated correctly based on how the job is set up. You don't need separate systems for your project work and your service work.
How does Aimsio handle material tracking for E&I projects?
Aimsio links purchase orders to projects and lets field crews record materials used against specific jobs and cost codes. This gives your project managers a real-time view of materials committed versus actual, before costs get out of hand. When a vendor invoice arrives, it can be received against the purchase order in Aimsio and applied to the correct job and cost code, keeping project costs accurate without manual reconciliation.
How does Aimsio capture extra work and scope changes in the field?
When technicians encounter out-of-scope work, a change order can be initiated from the web portal capturing the additional scope, labor, and materials before work begins, creating a documented authorization trail that protects you from disputed extras at project close-out. This replaces the informal verbal approval that often results in unbilled work when the invoice is disputed.
Does Aimsio work for E&I companies with crews across multiple facilities?
Yes. Aimsio's dispatch and job management tools give managers visibility across all active sites simultaneously. Technicians receive their assignments and job details through the mobile app, log time against the correct project and phase, and submit daily field reports without returning to the office. Progress across all active jobs is visible from the Jobs page and Job Performance reporting.
What accounting systems does Aimsio integrate with?
Aimsio integrates with QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, Sage 300, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Microsoft Business Central, NetSuite, Acumatica, ADP, and more. Approved time, materials, and invoices flow directly into your accounting system without manual re-entry. See the full list on the integrations page.
