STRATEGIC SEGMENTATION
Digital transformation for every business model in the photovoltaic sector
The management of procurement, inventory, deliveries and field projects has a direct impact on efficiency and profitability. Since every business model has different priorities and challenges, Senior Software has defined three distinct approaches built around the specific requirements of each type of operation.
Importers
• Clear visibility into costs and margins
• End-to-end equipment traceability
• Optimal inventory availability
Installers
• Accurate allocation of materials to each site
• Clear project execution tracking
• Greater control over consumption and deadlines
Developers
• Better alignment between teams and partners
• Consistent progress monitoring
• Greater control over costs and deadlines
CHALLENGES
Operational complexity in managing photovoltaic projects
Managing photovoltaic projects requires the simultaneous coordination of equipment, installation teams, procurement and financial processes. When information is scattered across separate systems or handled manually, synchronizing operations becomes difficult, affecting control over project costs, deadlines and profitability.
Equipment management
Project coordination
Project costs
Commercial processes
Access to information
Resource planning
The speed with which we can see KPIs and the analyses we can perform are the biggest benefits obtained after implementing the CPM solution. The time dedicated to budgeting and reporting processes has been cut in half since we started using the system provided by Senior Software.
With CPM, we work in a much more professional way and it is much easier to track the budget. Through the system reports, we can see our situation in much greater detail, up to date. We track stock reports, the situation by work points and profit centers, supplier and customer relationships, and we can discover new opportunities and develop these relationships. Practically, today, through the fast processing of accurate data, we can see the detailed situation in real time, not after one year.
