The Challenge

As Minnesota’s top solar installer, Apadana faced mounting challenges in managing its expanding portfolio of projects. Despite having well-documented processes, these were maintained in static Word documents and communicated via email, leading to fragmented workflows and a lack of real-time visibility. The team struggled to track project progress, identify bottlenecks, and understand resource allocation. There was no centralized system to aggregate project types or monitor the status of key deliverables, such as signed client letters or proposal approvals. This lack of automation and transparency made it difficult for Apadana to scale operations, ensure accountability, and optimize team capacity. The company needed a robust solution to streamline project management, automate notifications, and provide actionable insights into their workflow.
