We specialise in the design and installation of high-quality solar energy generation, battery storage and hybrid solutions in both the residential and commercial property sector.

The company offers a full turnkey solution and adheres to only the highest local and international industry standards during the process of analysis, design and supply of renewable energy systems, ensuring the clients requirements are met.

Business Challenges

We wanted to gear our business for high-volume growth and build a national footprint, therefore we knew that to ensure future success we would need a powerful ERP system for seamless communication, business administration etc. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central seemed to be the obvious choice for its ability to provide a exible solution geared to grow with the company, all whilst providing all of the basic standard functions of an ERP solution.

The Solution

The tech developments and speed of evolution happening within the Microsoft platform with all of the aliated apps meant we could develop company processes, reporting and tools as the business grew without having to overhaul the foundation of our ERP every time. We considered using other ERP systems, but from a price point, as well as the adaptability of the product, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central was an easy choice.

The transparency of our organisation provided through the use of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central from financial to Project Planning (Job Costing) – has ensured our team is far more cohesive.

The integrated reporting ensures management is fully aware of the companies position at any time; therefore the amount of time it takes to normally perform these tasks is significantly reduced. Unexpected benefits include the ability to track issues more easily.

Experience Working with Innovations

Working with Innovations has been an excellent experience. The staff are all helpful, engaging and supportive when it comes to resolving any issues or engaging in the further development of products. Innovations is the ideal partner to work with when implementing an ERP solution. We recommend Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to all businesses. The value of the product relative to the premium paid is extremely competitive; the product is customisable to a large degree and adaptable should your business needs ongoing development and change.
