Automate your solar customer onboarding flow

Manual customer onboarding is killing your solar business's efficiency and costing you deals. You send a quote, the customer accepts, then they disappear into an admin black hole for weeks while you juggle contracts, council approvals, STC applications, and installation schedules. Meanwhile, your competitors with automated systems are installing panels while you're still chasing paperwork. Gridwolf's solar customer onboarding automation transforms your clunky paperwork process into a seamless digital experience that gets customers signed up faster and keeps your team focused on what matters most.

Paperwork bottlenecks losing you deals

Customers are waiting weeks for contracts, approvals, and installation schedules while your admin team drowns in manual data entry. You accept a quote on Monday, then the customer waits until Wednesday for their contract because someone had to manually create it from scratch. Council approval forms sit on desks for days because no one remembered to chase them. STC certificate applications get delayed because the paperwork wasn't properly formatted. By the time you follow up, they've already signed with a competitor who moved faster.

Customer communication falling through cracks

Without automated follow-ups, customers feel forgotten after signing. They sign their contract and then hear nothing for two weeks while you're waiting on council approvals or scheduling installers. Your phone rings constantly with customers asking 'when's my installation happening?' and 'have you submitted my rebate application yet?' Every call takes 10 minutes to look up their file and work out where they sit in the process. This creates more admin work and damages your reputation when you can't give them clear answers about their installation timeline.

Duplicate data entry eating profit margins

Your team is manually entering the same customer details into multiple systems – CRM, accounting, scheduling, and compliance platforms. Sarah enters customer details into your quoting system, then Jenny re-enters everything into Xero when the contract's signed, then Dave enters it again into your scheduling system for the installation. Each customer takes 45 minutes of admin time spread across three people. This wastes hours every day and creates errors that delay installations and frustrate customers when their address is wrong on the council application.

Step by Step

How This Actually Works

When a customer accepts your QuoteWolf quote, our system immediately generates their installation contract with all details pre-filled from the original quote. No more waiting for someone to manually create contracts or risking errors from re-typing customer information. The signed contract triggers automatic creation of council application forms with correct property details, system specifications, and required documentation attached.

Your customer receives automated updates via SMS and email as their job progresses through each stage – contract signed, council approval submitted, approval received, installation scheduled. They know exactly what's happening without calling your office. Meanwhile, your installation team gets automatic notifications when council approval comes through, and scheduling happens automatically based on installer availability and customer preferences from the original quote.

After installation, PayWolf automatically sends the final invoice with payment terms clearly outlined, and begins automated follow-up sequences for overdue accounts. STC certificate applications are submitted automatically to the Clean Energy Regulator with all required documentation. Your customer gets their rebate faster, you get paid faster, and your admin team focuses on winning new work instead of chasing paperwork for existing customers.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the automation handle different council requirements across Australia?

Yes, our system recognises the customer's postcode and automatically applies the correct forms and requirements for their local council. Whether it's Brisbane City Council's development application process or a rural NSW council's simpler notification system, the right paperwork gets generated and submitted automatically.

What happens if a customer wants to change their installation details after signing?

Any changes made in QuoteWolf automatically update across all connected systems – contracts, council applications, installation schedules, and invoicing. Your customer gets notified of the changes, revised paperwork is generated if needed, and your installation team sees the updated specifications without manual coordination.

Can I still track STC certificate applications and Clean Energy Regulator submissions?

Absolutely. Every STC application is automatically logged with submission dates, certificate numbers, and processing status. You get dashboard visibility of all pending applications and automatic alerts if any submissions need attention. Your customers can also track their rebate status through automated updates.
