Frequently asked questions

What electrical businesses often ask

Here are the answers to the questions electrical businesses ask before they start using Ainio.

How does Ainio know my prices?

Ainio uses your own price list. You can import the price list from a file or paste it in as text. For materials you can also import your wholesaler’s price list and decide how much you add on top of the purchase price. You can always change the price before the reply goes out.

Does anything go to the customer without my permission?

No. Ainio drafts replies, quotes and invoices, but you decide what is sent. A message only goes to the address the customer contacted you from. The only exceptions are the order confirmation to a consumer customer and the cancellation receipt, if you switch on sending them automatically yourself.

Do the electricians only see their own jobs?

You can give an electrician limited access. They then see the day’s jobs, addresses, phone numbers, directions and route on their phone, but not invoices or the company’s other information.

Do I still need accounting software?

Yes. Ainio makes the invoices, sends them and keeps track of payments, but the bookkeeping is done in your accounting software. Ainio gathers the month’s invoices into one package for your accountant.

Is Ainio quoting and invoicing software for electricians?

Yes, and a bit more. You make your quotes and invoices with Ainio, and you also get replies to customer messages ready, jobs in your calendar and a view of which invoices have been paid. The bookkeeping is still done in your accounting software.

How much does Ainio cost?

Plans start at €99 a month (+ VAT). You can try Ainio free for 30 days, and during the trial you get the full Huippu plan (with trial usage limits). There is no lock-in, and you can cancel at any time.
