Brief

Solar energy company required a centralized platform to manage customer relationships, solar sites, field service operations, and financial workflows through a single integrated system. Existing processes relied on multiple disconnected applications, limiting operational visibility and creating manual dependencies.

Technostacks implemented a unified Zoho One ecosystem integrated with a custom customer portal to streamline business operations, automate workflows, improve collaboration across departments, and provide real-time visibility into customer, service, and financial data.
