Unlocked significant business growth and seed funding through a custom-built enterprise application for a solar energy provider

Unified designed and developed an “all-in-one” sales tool (both web and mobile app) for the client, enabling salespeople to manage all aspects of their responsibilities in one place. This tool helped them stay more organized and efficient, leading to increased sales and a better-managed process. Our solution was a custom-tailored, multi-integrated application that handles the entire sales life cycle under one platform.

Along with a world class user experience, we developed an equally robust digital application through a single interconnected system, while integrating it with multiple 3rd party systems to ensure maximized efficiency.

Utilizing Google’s Sunroof project, Unified conceptualized and developed a robust online tool that would allow sales-people to provide automated remote shading analysis as well as solar resource imagery directly within this new platform.

This tool automatically generated a digital, array-level shading assessment as users went through their normal design workflow, enabling accuracy, speed, and efficiency. This robust solution automated shading assessments and associated production calculations, enabling a huge 50% reduction in customer acquisition and engineering design costs, thus ensuring significant improvements to the bottom-line.

Using this tool for design and shading analysis is simple. After creating a new sales lead entering the address, utility, and energy usage information, the users could directly proceed to system design. The application pulls shading data and displays an image showing annual rooftop solar potential. This image provides a visual heatmap of available solar resources in kilowatt hours per kilowatt, incorporating key parameters like shading values, roof pitch, and azimuth. By leveraging the solar potential summary, users could quickly identify the most promising roof areas to maximize solar production and avoid less advantageous areas.

A crucial aspect of any application lies in its user experience. The solution over here was intended for the sales-person, who are not typically tech-savvy, and who would need to use this tool for their entire workday. So it needed 3 things to ensure sales-people could conveniently use this tool. They were:

• Fresh and light weight look and feel to reduce strain on the user’s eyes
• Visual system to ensure better engagement
• Simple and easy to use

Unified conceptualized and developed an all in one application (web+mobile) for the on-field technicians to efficiently manage all their job responsibilities, improve productivity, while enabling better management, scheduling and tracking.

Unified proposed an application (web + mobile) for the customers, integrated with this new platform, which would serve as a customer touch point to help them stay connected with the business 24×7 and manage their account seamlessly.

Unified proposed to provide the entire set of online tools they were creating for the client, through a SaaS model for the channel partners. This would also allow them to seamlessly manage everything at their end, while allowing the Client to track, manage and analyze their channel partners.

Hence, the entire system that Unified created for the client was built over a SaaS based architecture that would allow the client to create instances for each channel partner to manage their entire process.

Unified proposed and developed a complete end-to-end administrative console, that would allow the business to manage every aspect of their business process.
