The situation

Where Nirvana Energy started.

No CRM — jobs tracked in spreadsheets across multiple people

Inbound calls missed after hours with no callback system

Quote requests sitting in an email inbox, followed up inconsistently

No metrics — couldn't tell which neighborhoods, services, or channels were most profitable

Growth limited by the team's bandwidth to handle calls and scheduling manually

Common questions

Frequently asked questions.

  • How do electrical contractors track jobs from lead to final billing?

    With a 7-phase CRM pipeline covering lead intake, estimate, permit, scheduling, installation, inspection, and final billing. Shiftops built this exact system for Nirvana Energy — every job moves through stages automatically.

  • Can AI automation work for solar and electrical companies?

    Yes. Solar and electrical have longer sales cycles than other trades, making automated follow-up even more valuable. An AI voice agent qualifies leads, a drip SMS sequence keeps them warm, and your CRM tracks every touchpoint.

  • How does Shiftops handle Google LSA integration for electrical companies?

    We connect your Google Local Services Ads directly to your CRM so every booked job is tracked, attributed, and followed up automatically. No manual data entry between platforms.

  • How long does it take to see results from CRM automation?

    Most clients see measurable improvement in lead response time within the first week of go-live. Pipeline visibility improves immediately. ROI on closed revenue typically shows within 30–60 days.
