Reprice the whole book when material costs move
When wire prices jump, you shouldn't be editing line items for a week. Update costs in bulk (CSV in, CSV out), re-run your markup schedule, preview the diff, and apply. Manual overrides survive every run, and a snapshot is taken automatically before bulk changes.
Assemblies, service work, and panel jobs on separate tiers
Residential service, commercial contract, and builder pricing don't belong on one list. Pricebookr keeps multiple price tiers on the same item — each with its own markup logic — and role-based access so estimators see contractor pricing while field electricians see only the field book.
Audit trail your bookkeeper will love
Every price change records who, what, and when — per-item version history plus whole-catalog snapshots with rollback. Export QuickBooks-ready files, or push straight to Jobber with two-way sync. An electrical starter price list is included.
Worked example: a copper spike, repriced by target margin
Electrical shops often think in margin, not markup. Set target margins by category — say 70% on consumables, 60% on devices, 40% on big-ticket gear — and when copper jumps, update costs and re-run. Here a roll of NM-B and a panel get repriced after an 18% copper increase:
| Item | Old cost | New cost | Target margin | New price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 250 ft 12-2 NM-B | $85 | $100 | 70% | $333 |
| 20A GFCI breaker | $42 | $46 | 60% | $115 |
| 200A main panel | $310 | $340 | 40% | $567 |
Margin holds even as costs move, so a volatile material quarter doesn't quietly erode your jobs. Check any line with the margin & markup calculator, preview the run, and sync to Jobber.
FAQ
How does Pricebookr handle volatile material costs like copper wire?
Update costs in bulk via CSV or bulk edit, then re-run your markup schedule — the whole catalog reprices to your target markup or margin in one run, with a preview first and a snapshot to roll back to.
Can I price residential and commercial work differently?
Yes — keep residential, commercial, and builder tiers on the same item with separate markup logic per tier, and control which team members see each book.
Does Pricebookr integrate with the tools electricians already use?
Two-way Jobber sync is built in, plus import-ready exports for QuickBooks Online and Housecall Pro. Pricebookr is the master price book feeding the tools you already run on.
