Sullivan Solar Power Leads the Pack with Technology Innovations for Solar Integrators

Solar firm provides industry guidance for business application development at Solar Energy Industries Association conference in Washington D.C.

SAN DIEGO (November 20, 2014) – Southern California-based Sullivan Solar Power has shined bright as an industry leader for its innovative adoption of Google Glass, and having developed one of the first apps ever for the wearable technology. Most recently, Sullivan Solar Power has been a thought leader in developing its own business apps on the Intuit QuickBase platform. Tuesday, Michael Chagala, Director of Information Technology, presented to solar industry leaders at an east coast Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) conference to highlight the firm's company cloud workspace.


"Today our QuickBase build is used by all departments. At the moment a sales lead comes into the system, it's wrapped in a workflow," said Michael Chagala, "It's assigned to the right person, tasks are created, milestones set triggers, and it progresses from one department to the next. What we didn't realize until recently is just how agile this has made us. It's common for me to make a change to someone's workflow in real-time as they're on the phone describing the problem to me."

Michael Chagala provided insight to solar industry companies as to how they can also utilize software and technology to build out their own company database workspace to increase efficiency and streamline processes within their company. Sullivan Solar Power utilized Sympo an official QuickBase Solution Provider, to assist with the heavy lifting of the company's development of its business software program.

"In order to keep up with all of this new opportunity, solar companies need to have clear business processes and workflows in place for their entire customer lifecycle," said Emi Gwin, President at Sympo. "Working together, Sympo and Sullivan Solar Power have created a powerful operating system for the entire business on QuickBase, resulting in saved time, increased revenue and lightning fast growth."

Sullivan Solar Power selected Intuit's QuickBase platform to compliment the company's intensive quality assurance and quality control processes that have built its rankings as an industry-leader. The ease of use and freedom to build out the program based on the company's needs has provided Sullivan Solar Power the ability for 105 employees to work simultaneously on hundreds of projects, ranging from lead management to data analysis and accounting.

Sullivan Solar Power's next project for business development applications are to incorporate the next iteration of its Google Glass app, "Our next version of the app will push and pull data from QuickBase using the QuickBase API," said Chagala.
