The Challenges

Raysolar faced a dual challenge in managing operations across offices in Kenora, Ontario, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Communication gaps and information silos between locations led to delays in addressing customer inquiries and disrupted inventory management. These issues not only impacted day-to-day operations but also posed a threat to Raysolar's commitment to providing sustainable energy solutions. The need for a cohesive system became evident to simplify operations and maintain the high standards set by Raysolar in the renewable energy sector.

Finding a Solution

RaySolar discovered Zoho as the ideal solution due to its comprehensive suite of tools. The search for a solution led them to select Zoho over other options. A key factor in their success was the collaboration with BMI, a Zoho Premium Partner who brought valuable insights and assistance to the solution.

Implementation and Results

The integration of Zoho's suite, with a focus on customization through Zoho CRM facilitated by BMI, marked a significant milestone in RaySolar's operations. BMI's expertise ensured the seamless incorporation of customized fields and modules, addressing specific challenges in customer and inventory management. Particularly impactful was the introduction of custom tabs, such as the "Technical issues" tab, which revolutionized customer interactions. Their customers could now articulate concerns precisely, expediting communication and facilitating direct engagement with engineers for prompt issue resolution. This approach not only heightened customer satisfaction but also demonstrated immediate operational improvements. The collaborative efforts between Raysolar, Zoho, and BMI showcased how Zoho's customization feature can be a game-changer, setting the stage for sustained success in the renewable energy sector.
