The Four ROI Levers
1. Time Savings & Workflow Efficiency
Every hour saved is an hour you can spend selling, installing, or growing.

Impact: Faster timelines, more installs, less time lost to bottlenecks.
2. Revenue Growth
Speed and accuracy directly increase your ability to win business.

- Solaris Renewables creates proposals 3× faster, helping them increase close rates by 10% and respond before competitors.
Impact: More signed contracts, higher attach rates, stronger market position.
3. Cost Avoidance
Every change order, repeat site visit, or plan set revision chips away at margin.
- Our World Energy cut change orders from 40% to under 10%, reducing rework and smoothing installs.
