Vital Sparx are an Auckland based Electrical company, which has been servicing the Auckland area for the last 7 years. Most of our work is domestic along with small commercial jobs, and a lot of our work is repeat business. Prior to iCert our major issue around compliance was the paperwork, at times we were swimming in it. iCert has changed all that, it has simplified the process, no more paperwork, scanning, filing or posting. Now COC's and ESC's can be emailed directly from the iCert software, no need for any paperwork.
The best thing we have found about iCert is having easy access to completed certificates and being able to fill them in on site with our iPad or iPhone. Being cloud based software we are also able to access and create COC's and ESC's from our office, saving time for the tradesmen on site.
We would definitely recommend iCert to any Electrical company."

"My guys find iCert easy to use. We are able to get more information through and I don’t have to worry about my team doing their compliance, it’s all in the system.
Feedback from my guys is that iCert is well structured and easy to follow.
iCert is absolutely worth recommending and well worth the money!”
Andrew Merrit: Dickson Gray Electrical
“I have been using iCert for 3½ years. It has made my certification process so much simpler, easy to resend certificates to clients, and to search for previous certificates. 
I have found the iCert team very helpful if I have any queries. The certificates look very professional, which some clients have commented on. 
The small cost per month of having iCert is well worth it, and I recommend iCert to any electricians out there."

"Lux Electrical has been in trading for over 16 years in the greater Auckland area. Our jobs are mostly domestic along with some industrial work. We found compliance a major headache especially when on site, we would turn up to the job go to issue a COC, and if we could find the COC book, often there were no more paper COC forms in the booklet. This is not good when you are out in the middle of nowhere.
Now with iCert it has made it so much easier. It is so convenient and it has taken the donkey work out of compliance. We pre-create our next day's COC's at night issuing them with a Unique ID which is our job number, so when we are on site most of the work has already been done. We find that by using our job numbers as the Unique ID numbers it makes it so much easier to link the jobs.
One of the best things we like about iCert is the COC's are automatically emailed to the client and back to our office. No more scanning or posting. It also makes searching for COC's so much easier, just a push of a button and you can search a COC and then email it on.
Would we recommend iCert?
Yes, go for it. You won't look back."
Andrew Doel
"We've been using iCert for the past 2 months now and found it to be a very useful and efficent tool for our business. Those times you go to get the C.O.C book and its empty or the inspector turns up an hour early, with iCert in a matter of minutes, where ever we are we can create and email all documentation needed to the right people. Saving those annoying trips back to jobs when someone's forgotten to leave the paperwork on-site, and at the office end it easy to find for filing or passing on to customers with a click of the button.
No more going through the van trying to find the old books and sheets."
Kevin Griffiths
"AB Electrical (Northsore) Ltd has been trading for over 4 years and service the greater Auckland area. Our customer base is everything from residential, commercial to maintenance.
We have been using iCert for approximately six months, and in that time we have noticed a marked improvement in keeping up with our compliance requirements. iCert enables Management to check on staff to ensure all compliance certificates have been issued, and if they have not are able instruct the staff member to complete their required compliance.
iCert's search function is amazing, it takes all the annoying searching through paperwork (usually after hours), scanning and emailing/posting when someone requires a copy of a COC. Instead at the push of a button, while the person requesting the certificate is on the phone, you can email the certificate to them even before the phone call has ended.
Piles of paperwork and filing is a thing of the past, iCert has saved us so much time and in fact is actually making us money, as the certificates look professional and become a three page document worthy of charging a reasonable fee for.
We would recommend anyone in the electrical trade to use iCert to make their business more productive, compliant and more efficient."

iCert has been great for us, with all the small jobs that require ESCs these days, we can create and store the certificates in seconds and easily retrieve them if required, Good work iCert.

"We find using iCert to be great, we use a lot less paper, it saves time filing and searching for certificates as everything is now located in one place on iCert.
The staff out in the field find it saves time, as the certificate is pre-filled out by our office staff in iCert, and they can then access the file via their smartphones or tablets and complete the certificate in minutes. They find that it takes the hassle out of compliance.
One of the benefits we have found is the ability to email our completed certificates through to our Inspectors, so that they can inspect the job and return their ROI to us. The ROI can in turn be saved on iCert within that particular job.
We definitely recommend trying iCert, we looked at other systems which were similar, however iCert was the one that ticked all the boxes for us."
Steve Hallett
"We have found using iCert has made compliance so much faster and easier than using paper. The certificates are a lot cleanlier and tidier than the paper certificates.
The certificates look far more professional being typed out and with our company logo attached. Customers have often commented on how professionally presented our paper work is.
We would recommend you try iCert, after two or three certificates you will be hooked and you won’t look back."
​Jason Cain
"iCert is exactly what I had been waiting for, everything is kept in one place in the clouds. It's easy to use, and there is no paper. It saves me time.
Thanks guys!"
​Jeffrey Hiscock
"We have only just started using iCert and found it to be brilliant for searching and record keeping. There is no more filing and everything we do is now instant using iCert.
Having the customer data base and Google addresses saves time when creating new certificates.
We would definitely recommend iCert because it is all online and you don’t have to worry about being able to find the paper booklets or filing the paperwork. It is centrally located and it makes searching for certificates really easy."
​Cat Graham
“ iCert is good and easy to use. We’ve even told our compliance inspector about it.
iCert has helped reduce our time spent filling out compliance forms and is worth the small monthly fee.”    
​Tony
"iCert is a good software program which I have found easy to learn. I think the monthly cost of the service is well worth the investment and would recommend iCert to other electrical companies."
Moore Power
"Students at The Waikato Institute of Technology are using the iCert online certification system as part of their apprenticeship block courses in the classroom."

We have been using iCert now for about 18 months, its such an easy system to use and makes compliance a breeze now. Completing certificates takes half the time it used to.  ​
Comfort Solutions
"We have been using iCert for 18 months now and as much as we liked the iCert Version 1, we have found the new iCert Version 2 to be even better. It is faster and quicker to jump through the certificate pages. It makes creating a certificate so easy, as it now saves customer details on its data base and has Google addresses. The ability to email the customer their certificate as soon as the job is finished is great and the customers appreciate this too.
It is useful to be able to see at a glance where your staff are at with their compliance, you can see if certificates have been completed, or are still open. It is also easy to make any changes to the settings in iCert to suit your own business requirements.
Once you're in the swing of using iCert, we create a job, write up a job card and send to the office. Once on site I open my tablet and the ESC or COC has been pre-created by our office staff and I only need to fill in the minimum amount of information. We email it there and then, so the job is finished and so there is no paperwork to be completed.
The cost of joining iCert is so economical, you can create unlimited certificates in any month, and if one of your staff does not create any in that month you are not charged for them at all.
iCert stores all of your data, and it is easy to search and retrieve any old certificates.
Without a doubt we would recommend any Electrical company to use iCert."
