In addition to integrating with APIs supported by some of the solar tools, we built out a comprehensive, headless browser queue that programmatically manipulates web pages via a headless version of Chrome. In order to meet the dashboard demand of the PlugPV workforce, we had autoscaling policies in place to increase or decrease servers to take on work from the queue. The Outliant team aggregated data across all services in Elasticsearch for advanced analytics and segmentation.

The Brief
Solar companies are spread out over a dozen enterprise applications, often resulting in misplaced data, higher costs, decreased productivity, and insufficient processes. PlugPV needed a sleeker, more effective central hub for their workforce. They wanted to take all of their tools and put them into a simple-to-use dashboard, so the business could focus on innovation, sales, and success.
The Challenge
Many solar tools have no APIs and don't allow their system to be iframed. Part of the challenge was to integrate a wide variety of platforms and tools into one place. Our team had to get deep into the sales process and the UX flow. We also had to make sure that it could be easily updated if tools changed and expanded to other departments beyond sales in the future.
