Customizing Zoho CRM for Solar Installers – A Case Study

The Client: A commercial and residential solar panel installation service provider

The client, a reputed commercial as well as residential solar panel installation provider, came to Infomaze for customizing Zoho Business software for renewable energy. We helped them by providing a solution that streamlined their business processes.

The Challenge: Managing the enterprise of a solar panel system for houses and commercial buildings providers

The customer had been managing all their data on installations, product inventory, and service and support appointment details, to name a few on time-consuming spreadsheets, which was highly susceptible to errors because of manual data entry and hindering in reaching their full potential, leading to losses for the company.

The Requirement:

As our client provided commercial solar panel installation, residential solar panel installation, monitoring, and maintenance services, for which the customer needed a systematic way to record all the relevant data, including:

  • Contacts data, from addresses, consulting appointments to installation day details.
  • Solar panels and batteries inventory data.
  • Performance and product warranty’s record.
  • The number of inspection visits and the data collected during such visits.
  • Automation in invoice generation considering the billable hours, the products, and the solutions delivered.
  • Account management system.

Our client came to Infomaze with the challenge in hand and with an expectation for an efficient, single platform solution that would solve all their problems at once.

The Solution: Setting up Zoho One for solar energy providers

The client, with their requirement, came to us, and our skilled developers at Infomaze knew precisely the solution that would suit their business specifications and provided Zoho One for solar energy providers.

We custom set-up Zoho one solution suite to perfectly fit our client-business needs. As a result, the client could easily maintain solar panel and batteries inventory records using Zoho Inventory and an excellent customer relationship with their clients using Zoho CRM.

We built forms for quotations and fill pre-inspection and post-inspection data on-site using Zoho Creator. Our developers integrated them with Zoho CRM, Zoho Writer, Zoho Sign, and Zoho Docs to store the inspection data generated on-site.
