How POWER Solar overcame their challenge and gained 1,342% ROI POWERHOME Solar deployed the Salesforce Field Service Lightning (FSL) mobile application for communication with agents in the field to supplant a legacy customer relations management (CRM) solution that was inefficient, had limited capabilities, and could not scale to support the company’s growth. Additionally, POWERHOME Solar needed to modernize its scheduling management and provide its field technicians with real-time mobile access to critical information. Without adding additional staff, the company was able to efficiently manage a 70 to 75 percent daily volume increase at call centers. POWERHOME was also able to avoid additional hires that would have been needed to support and upgrade the legacy system, saving the company almost three-quarters of a million dollars annually.
