Built for the full lifecycle of solar assets, our ERP platform simplifies complexity; so your teams can focus on growth, not workarounds.
Dynamic Scheduling and Cost Tracking
With each new site, our solar ERP software auto-generates tasks and milestones to guide you from development through production. Dynamic Gantt charts and real-time cost tracking keep every team aligned and on schedule. Update one element, and the system instantly recalculates timelines and budgets across the board.
Purchasing and Inventory Management with Tracking
Our solar ERP solutions give you full visibility into what’s been ordered, where it is, and what it’s for. It connects purchasing and inventory directly to project tasks and accounting systems, streamlining workflows and ensuring financial accuracy. With efficient inventory control, your team avoids delays, shortages, and costly overstock.
Financial Management
The next module of the solar ERP software guides you through the complex process of financing your projects in every phase as you pass from development loans to tax equity bridge loans and construction loans and then on to tax equity investment and leverage loans. This financial management feature helps you secure the necessary funding and manage cash flow effectively.
Data Management and Communication
Our Solar ERP Software solutions keep track of each critical document you create and receive and, with Quickbase’s granular permissions settings, make sure that the right people get the right documents–and nothing more–without the need to send emails from outside the software. Effective document management is crucial for maintaining compliance and ensuring seamless communication within your solar energy company.
Forecasting
Let your powerful database provide the numbers you need to attract investors and track your profitability. Solar ERP software produces synchronized short-term and long-term cash forecasts that can be studied down to the individual project task level. Accurate forecasting is key for making informed decision-making and driving revenue generation.
Project Management
Effective project management is at the heart of any successful solar energy business. The Dev/Hold ERP includes comprehensive project management tools to plan, execute, and monitor projects from start to finish, ensuring timely completion and optimal resource utilization.
