Zoho Creatorcustom solar apps shipped in weeks, not quarters.
There are always 3-5 workflows Zoho's stock apps don't cover: your AHJ permit tracker, your dealer partner portal, your SREC registration dashboard, your storage-attach calculator. Creator is where we build those, fast, native to your Zoho stack, on iOS and Android out of the box.
From whiteboard sketch to production in 2-3 weeks.
No enterprise Gantt charts. No 6-month roadmaps. We sketch on Monday and you're using it on a real job site by month-end.
30-minute whiteboard call. Your idea. Our build experience.
You describe the problem: "Our surveyors keep losing roof photos when they lose cell signal in the Phoenix mountains." We sketch the data model live, decide what's mobile vs. web, and call out which Zoho apps it should write to (CRM? Inventory? FSM?).
Clickable Figma wireframe, on your screen tomorrow morning.
Our UX lead turns the whiteboard into a clickable Figma prototype. Your team taps through it on their phones. You comment in the file. We iterate twice, final wireframe locked by end of week 1.
2-3 week sprint. Deluge scripting. Daily Slack updates.
Our Creator developer (always one named human, not a team-of-strangers handoff) builds the forms, the workflows, the Deluge scripts, the REST connections to CRM and FSM, and the report screens. You get a Slack channel with a daily build update.
Your team tests the app on real job sites for 5 days.
UAT (user acceptance testing) means we ship to a sandbox, your 3 power users live-test it on actual surveys in Phoenix, Houston and Boston. They log defects in a shared sheet, we fix overnight. By Friday, sign-off.
Go-live. Apple TestFlight + Google Play. White-label.
App ships to production. iOS via TestFlight or App Store, Android via Play Internal or Public. Optional white-labeling with your brand colors and logo. All your users get install instructions on Monday morning.
Monthly enhancement cycle. Or just call us when you need more.
After launch you get 30 days of bug-fix support free. Beyond that, retainer customers ($1,800/mo) get a 16-hour dev block to keep enhancing the app, new fields, new reports, new screens. Or, just buy the next sprint as a fixed-price add-on.

Six apps your competitors don't have. Yet.
AHJ permit-deadline tracker
One screen with every open permit, the AHJ, the submission date, the SLA. Auto-pings the PM 72 hours before deadline. Used by EPCs in Phoenix, Houston, San Diego.
SREC registration dashboard
Multi-state SREC pipeline for NJ, MA, MD, OH, DC, IL. PJM-GATS / NEPOOL-GIS API integrations. Track filings, payments, expirations.
Site-survey app
Surveyor opens on iPhone/Android. Captures roof photos, electrical panel pics, shading data, fully offline. Syncs to CRM the moment cell signal returns.
Dealer / sales-partner portal
External portal for your 1099 sales partners. They submit leads, see their pipeline, see commissions earned. Zero access to internal Zoho.
Storage-attach calculator
NEM 3.0 economics in real time. Customer's PG&E or SDG&E tariff in, battery payback period out. Closes more deals on the kitchen table.
Monitoring exception triage
Daily auto-pull from Enphase Enlighten + SolarEdge + Tesla. Under-producing systems escalated to Desk tickets with the install crew assigned.
We've built 240+ Creator apps for U.S. solar.
Native to your Zoho stack
Creator writes directly to CRM, FSM, Books, Inventory, no middleware, no Zapier. The data graph stays clean.
You own everything
Source code, schema, Deluge scripts, all live in your Zoho account. We hand you the keys at go-live. No vendor lock to us.
Mobile + web, automatically
You build once in Creator. iOS, Android and web versions ship at the same time. Offline-first by default.
Solar-specific developers
Our Creator devs have shipped to NABCEP-certified installers, EPCs and O&M shops. They know the data model before you describe it.
