The Challenges Faced by Solar Panel Installers
Solar panel installation is a relatively new profession, where processes need to be fine-tuned to achieve optimal efficiency. Unlike more structured industries, every installation is unique: roof type, exposure, the client’s energy needs… To succeed, seamless information flow between the back office, technicians, and clients is essential.
Poor Organization Directly Impacts Profitability
When an installation is poorly prepared, the consequences are immediate:
- Unnecessary trips: Forgetting equipment or misjudging the worksite can force the installer to return a second time, generating extra costs.
- Decreased customer satisfaction: A client who has to wait for a new appointment to complete their installation is likely to be dissatisfied.
- Loss of time and efficiency: Less time spent on site means fewer installations completed and therefore lower profitability.
How Does Cadulis Optimize Solar Panel Installation?
Better Tracking of Field Operations
Cadulis centralizes all the information needed for each job thanks to customizable intervention and closure forms. Every step of the installation is documented, ensuring that no detail is overlooked.
Additionally, process automation ensures reliable communication with clients. For example:
- Automatic appointment reminders a few days before the visit.
- Automatic sending of the intervention report and invoice.
- One-click access to the full history of past interventions.
Intelligent Route Planning
One of Cadulis’ major strengths is its route optimization, which works in two ways:
- Real-time: When scheduling an appointment, Cadulis immediately suggests the optimal date and time to minimize travel.
- Batch optimization: The software allows you to adjust schedules in advance to optimize routes.
This mechanism can reduce travel by up to 15%, a significant saving in both time and costs.
A Tool Designed for Field Operations
Unlike generic tools (calendars, spreadsheets, standard CRMs), Cadulis is specifically designed for companies managing field operations. It includes features tailored to the needs of solar panel installers:
- An intuitive interface designed for technicians.
- Mobile access to key information in real time.
- The ability to add notes and photos directly from the field.
Reliability Gains That Boost Customer Satisfaction
Thanks to improved intervention management, installers see a significant increase in customer satisfaction (from 10% to 30% according to users). The time savings are also impressive: technicians and the back office save hundreds of hours each year.
A Concrete Example of Optimization with Cadulis
An installer was about to perform a standard installation. Thanks to Cadulis, the back office was able to specify in advance that a special ladder was required. Result: the technician arrived fully equipped, avoiding an unnecessary return trip and wasted time. A small detail? Not for the client, who enjoyed a fast and seamless installation!
