BeardPowered is the software platform built for the next generation of electrical contractors and the established shops done renting tools they'll never own. 28 connected apps. Scout handles the business. You run the trade.
Apprentice applications are down. Fewer apprentices means fewer journeymen. Fewer journeymen means fewer masters. And the journeymen who are ready to make the jump they're staying journeymen because nobody showed them how to run a business. BeardPowered is the business layer that makes ownership possible. Scout handles what the trade school never taught.
Scout isn't a chatbot with a hardhat on. Scout is the operating intelligence behind your entire business trained on your jobs, your customers, your crew, your documents, and your operation. It talks like a tradesman and thinks like a strategist. The longer you run BeardPowered, the smarter Scout gets about your specific shop.
Every tool shares a single data layer. When CRM creates a job, Scout knows. When Hub logs a lead, Contacts updates. When Sign gets a signature, the job closes. That's not a feature. That's the architecture.
Your bearded Jarvis. Knows your jobs, customers, crew, and operation. Trained on your business data not generic construction info. The longer you run BeardPowered, the smarter Scout gets about your specific shop. Ask it anything. It knows.
The electrical contractor AI assistant. NEC codes, load calculations, permit requirements by jurisdiction, estimating help, material lookups. Built specifically for the trades not a general AI that happens to know what a breaker is. Uses Scout skills under the hood.
Call comes in. Twilio records it, Whisper transcribes it, Scout synthesizes it into a customer record and job automatically before the dispatcher hangs up. Nobody types anything. Mobile field workflow covers photo capture across 80 categories, voice notes, AI observer, and branded job close-out report. No double entry. No paper.
The job site app your crew actually uses. Photos, inspections, task checklists, voice notes, and sign-off flows from the phone in their pocket. Need parts mid-job? Record what you need, Field transcribes it and routes automatically: delivery via Instacart or DoorDash, pickup at Home Depot, or a will-call email straight to your supplier. Everything flows back into the CRM automatically.
Talk to your phone between jobs. Hub transcribes the recording and pulls out every buried intent new leads, tasks, customer updates, relationship notes and surfaces each one as a card you approve or dismiss. Nothing saves without your say-so.
Describe a document and AI drafts it. Upload a PDF and it finds every signature field automatically. Signers get a secure link, sign on their phone, and get the executed PDF with a Certificate of Completion including SHA-256 hash proof. ESIGN Act compliant. No per-envelope fees. Ever.
Every contact your business has ever touched in one place that every BeardPowered app can see. Add by voice, upload, or paste. When Scout mentions a customer inline, the full contact card surfaces. When Hub logs a lead, Contacts knows. When CRM creates a customer, Contacts knows that too.
A contractor with no website finishes the five-step Wizard on Tuesday afternoon. By the time they close the browser they have a live domain, 100+ pages of locally researched SEO content covering every city and service in their area, and a professional email at their own domain.
Monitors every page on your site through Google Search Console, finds underperformers, rewrites them with AI and local research, and queues them for your approval before anything goes live. Keeps building new city and service pages on a schedule. The SEO agency sends a report. Grid does the work.
Describe the tool you need. In under three minutes it's live at a subdomain with DNS configured, SSL provisioned, nginx proxying, and PM2 managing the process. Every BeardPowered app started this way. Now the same pipeline is available to any operator running their own stack.
Every iOS SSH client is a fight. Terminal was built because none of them worked from a phone the way a solo operator needs. Real DOM elements, iOS keyboard behaves. Write File tab deploys code directly to any VPS path with no clipboard size limit. Secrets tab manages every app environment variable from one screen. Watch deployments, approve file changes, restart any server. The entire BeardPowered platform was built from this app on an iPhone.
Your domain. Your server. Your reputation. Dedicated IPs, automated SPF/DKIM/DMARC, zero Google or Microsoft dependency. We build IP reputation first so when your email goes out, it lands. Sovereign email that actually delivers being proven at a live electrical contractor right now.
Upload construction drawings. Confirm the electrical symbol legend. Hit go. Takeoff tiles every floor plan at high resolution and counts every symbol instance using AI vision with human verification built in. What used to take a full day of highlighters now takes fifteen minutes and catches what the highlighter misses.
Move money and own the receipt. Sovereign payment rail built for contractors -- collect deposits, invoice on close, track every transaction with a hash-chained audit trail. No Stripe cut on every job. No third party holding your money.
Time tracking that works for your crew. Clock in at the job site, clock out when it's done. Hours roll up by job, by tech, by week. Export to payroll or let BeardTrain learn your labor patterns. No subscription, no per-seat fees.
Your vehicle. Your data. Sovereign vehicle OS for contractors running a fleet or a single work truck. Maintenance logs, mileage tracking, service records -- all on your server. No subscription to a fleet management platform that owns your vehicle history.
Social media on autopilot. BeardPost generates, schedules, and posts content across your platforms without you thinking about it. Feed it a job photo, it writes the caption, picks the hashtags, and queues the post. Your shop stays visible while you run jobs.
BIPV permit plan set generator. Enter the system specs, SolarPlan produces the full permit-ready plan set -- electrical one-line diagram, NEC 2020 Article 690 compliant, cover sheet, system details. What used to take hours with CAD now takes minutes.
Every measurement you need on the roof. Jobsite measurement suite built for contractors who work at height -- pitch, area, ridge length, valley runs. Built for the phone in your pocket, not a laptop back at the office.
Any photo wrapped in 3D. Upload a flat image -- a roof, a job site, a floor plan -- and Render converts it into a 3D model. Edges traced, structure revealed, terrain mapped. Show clients what the finished job looks like before you pull a single wire.
Every interaction across your BeardPowered suite feeds a training pipeline. Every job, every call, every signed doc, every Scout conversation becomes training data for a custom AI model tuned to your exact business. Not a generic model. Yours. You own it forever.
Talk through what needs to be built or fixed. Say go. Scout reads your live apps, logs, and files -- patches the code, restarts the services, confirms it worked. No copy-paste, no context switching. Every Forge session is logged as training data for your future model.
Your meeting platform. Not theirs. Sovereign video meetings that run on your server -- no Zoom data harvesting, no Microsoft account required, no per-host fees. Client calls, crew check-ins, remote walkthroughs. Everything stays in your stack.
Messages that stay between you and them. Sovereign encrypted messaging for your crew and your clients. No iMessage metadata, no WhatsApp privacy policy, no carrier records. End-to-end encrypted, self-hosted, yours.
Every lead, every contact form, every submission -- logged to your SQLite, sent from your email, seen by nobody else. One endpoint for every BeardPowered lander. No Typeform, no Jotform, no third party ever between you and your customer.
Your files, links, and screenshots in a private vault on your own server. Revocable share links, image compression, Scout AI reads everything. Save a link from X without X knowing. No Google Drive, no Dropbox, no corporate cloud holding your data.
GitHub Mobile-style push notification approval for every BeardPowered app. Your 2FA seed secrets on your server, not Authy's. One login approval covers your whole stack. TOTP codes generated locally, breach-proof by design.
Self-hosted Git with cryptographic signing, K1 human approval gates, and peer-to-peer node distribution. Every push signed with your node's private key, verified before any peer accepts it. Includes Gitea at git.beard.energy. Your code never touches GitHub's servers unless you want it to.
ServiceTitan doesn't know what's in your DocuSign. Your SEO agency doesn't know what jobs closed this week. HubSpot has never heard of your field tech. Scout knows all of it because it's one system.
Whether you're a journeyman ready to run your own shop or a master who's done renting software BeardPowered is how you own the business layer. One time. Forever.
