Automate SimPRO for your solar installation business

Running a solar installation business shouldn't mean drowning in paperwork and manual data entry between systems. You're managing leads in one system, creating quotes in another, then manually copying everything into SimPRO for job scheduling and tracking. Meanwhile, your installers are waiting for job sheets while you're stuck at your desk entering the same customer address for the third time this week. Gridwolf's SimPRO automation solar installer solutions eliminate the time-wasting tasks that keep you from focusing on what matters most – growing your business and delivering quality installations.

Double handling every job

You're entering the same customer details, job specs, and pricing into multiple systems – SimPRO, your quoting software, and accounting platform. This wastes hours every week and creates countless opportunities for costly errors that can blow your margins. Picture this: a customer calls about a 6.6kW system with micro-inverters, you quote in your CRM, then spend 20 minutes re-entering everything into SimPRO for scheduling. Later, your accounts person enters it again into Xero. That's the same job data handled three times, with three chances to stuff up the panel count or inverter specs. One typo costs you a truck roll and your installer's time fixing what should have been right from the start.

Quotes disappearing into the void

Your sales team creates quotes in one system while your project managers work in SimPRO, creating a disconnect that loses jobs. Without real-time sync between systems, you're missing follow-ups and letting good leads slip through the cracks. Last Tuesday's quote for a $15,000 residential system sits in your quoting tool while the customer rings asking about installation timing – but your scheduler can't see it because it never made it to SimPRO. By the time you manually transfer the details, the customer's already signed with a competitor who had their act together. That's not just lost revenue, it's your reputation taking a hit because you looked disorganised.

Manual invoice chasing

Tracking payments across different platforms means you're constantly switching between screens to see what's been paid, what's overdue, and which jobs are actually profitable. This patchwork approach kills cash flow visibility when you need it most. You've got deposit invoices in SimPRO, progress claims in your accounting system, and STC certificate payments tracked on a spreadsheet. When a customer rings asking about their final invoice, you're clicking through three systems trying to piece together what they actually owe. Meanwhile, you're chasing a $3,000 overdue payment that was actually processed last week – you just couldn't see it because your systems don't talk to each other.

Step by Step

How This Actually Works

Monday morning used to mean 2 hours of admin catching up from the weekend – copying quotes into SimPRO, updating job statuses, and checking what invoices went out. Now you walk in and everything's already done. Weekend quotes are sitting in SimPRO as scheduled jobs with all the system specs intact. Your installers can see their Tuesday jobs with the exact panel layout and electrical requirements.

When your sales guy closes a deal at 4pm Friday, the automation kicks in immediately. The customer details, system specifications, and pricing flow from your quoting tool into SimPRO as a new job. Your scheduler sees it Monday morning ready to book, while your accounts system already has the deposit invoice prepared. No weekend phone calls, no Monday morning scrambling.

Three weeks later when the job's complete, the final invoice automatically includes any variations your installer noted on-site. The STC certificate value gets calculated and applied. Your customer gets their invoice the same day, and you can see exactly what profit you made on the job without opening a spreadsheet. Payment reminders go out automatically if they don't pay within your terms.

Yes, Gridwolf integrates with your current SimPRO installation without changing how you use it. We connect with most quoting tools including QuoteWolf, and popular accounting systems like Xero and MYOB. You keep your existing workflows but eliminate the manual steps between systems.
