Condoit

This app has made my life so much easier. Their single line diagram feature makes it so easy to do site walks and share reports. Saves my crew so much time. I’ve been able to replace my clunky manual process of using spreadsheets and a bunch of other software just to get electrical drawings the way I need em. They have have been adding a bunch of cool new features and tools lately like their Bill of Materials report so you can literally draw a single line in the app on the site visit and then click a button and generate a ready to go Bill of Materials to send to my distributor and suppliers. It’s the best thing I’ve seen in years.

After playing around with the app for a bit I decided to try it out as a means to document an existing electrical system. It the field it worked pretty well, and it was easy to add equipment. Sometimes it was a little bit tricky to circuit new equipment because you can’t zoom or pan when trying to make a connection, but it wasn’t too bad. I gave up on trying to add photos to the one line because of how slow it quickly became. The real problem is that I opened up the app a few days later and everything I had captured out in the field was lost, with only the equipment I had out in at home remaining. I’m guessing it didn’t actually save the information locally and depended on a cloud backup. Honestly, I think it would be better without the cloud. Anyway, I probably won’t use it again. It isn’t reliable enough.

We had an internal site audit process that used excel, pictures on our phone and a shared drive. I stubbled on this app and it is has been a game changer. We are saving hours of time and with fewer errors in our EV process. The condoit team has been great on training. It works better on an Ipad and they are always releasing new updates to make it better. Best of all, it is free to download and try.
