An app idea for electricians and plumbers.
A digital wallet for electricians and plumbers to store, update and share certification documents, insurance and licenses with clients and inspectors.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Self-employed electricians and plumbers
- The problem
- People lose certification letters and cards and then have to phone a state office and wait for a replacement. One electrician emailed an application with all paperwork and got no response for months.
- The gap
- SkillCat runs exams and issues certificates but does not store or share a tradesperson's full document set. The results show no wallet for licenses, insurance and certs that a solo tradesperson can send to a client or inspector.
- Already out there
- SkillCat skillcatapp.com
EPA approved certifying organization running online exams and issuing certificates. It does not hold a tradesperson's insurance, license and other documents in one shareable place.

- The big assumption
- Tradespeople will keep documents in a new app rather than in their phone photos, email or a folder in the van.
- Test it this week
- Ask ten self-employed electricians and plumbers to show you where their certs and insurance live today, and whether they have ever had to replace a lost one.
