The sale, the install and the maintenance of the same customer, in one system. - From lead to signed installation - Scheduling with Gantt, routes and Field Radar - Sensors and IoT with AI-based predictive maintenance ## Is it right for your company? For companies that install, operate or maintain energy systems: - Operations and maintenance of solar and wind farms - Residential and commercial solar installers - EV charger installation and maintenance - Energy service companies - Electrical contractors Not on the list? attendo can be set up for any line of business, with your document types, your fields and your vocabulary. ## Lots of miles and little room for error Sites are far apart and every trip counts. And in residential solar, sales and installs move faster than the tools. ### A badly planned trip costs a whole day Sites are hours apart. If the technician arrives without the part or the history, they drive back and the trip happens again. ### Solar sales across five tools Leads, quotes, permitting, installation and after-sales, each one somewhere else. The customer calls to ask where their install stands. ### Warranties and availability by hand Inverters, panels and chargers with different warranties. Each site’s availability is worked out in a spreadsheet whenever someone asks. ## Each challenge, with the modules that solve it They are modules of the same platform: you turn on the ones you use, and they all work on the same record. ### Every visit, with its route and history Gantt and scheduling calendar for visits, daily dispatch with time windows, Field Radar and an offline app. The technician heads out with the equipment history and the planned materials. - [Gantt chart](https://attendo.me/en/modules/gantt-chart) - [Scheduling and calendar](https://attendo.me/en/modules/calendar) - [Mobile app and Field Radar](https://attendo.me/en/modules/mobile-app) - [Warehouse, purchasing and stock](https://attendo.me/en/modules/purchasing-and-stock) ### From lead to install, in one system CRM with prospecting, ad campaigns measured by their ROI, AI-drafted quotes and e-signature. Each install is a project with a Gantt chart and task templates, and when it is done its equipment becomes assets with a maintenance plan. - [Marketing and prospecting](https://attendo.me/en/modules/marketing-and-prospecting) - [Web quotes](https://attendo.me/en/modules/quotes-and-web-offers) - [Projects and construction](https://attendo.me/en/modules/projects) - [attendo Tasks](https://attendo.me/en/modules/tasks) ### Every piece of equipment, with its warranty and readings Inverters, panels and chargers with serial number and warranty. Sensors and IoT feed AI-based predictive maintenance, and the metrics give each asset’s availability. Work orders can also come from other systems through the API. And with AI-Chat you ask which sites had the most outages this quarter. - [Assets and inventory](https://attendo.me/en/modules/assets) - [AI-CMMS](https://attendo.me/en/modules/ai-cmms) - [API v4, webhooks and MCP](https://attendo.me/en/modules/api-and-mcp) - [AI-Chat and DB Assistant](https://attendo.me/en/modules/ai-chat) ## An inverter that stops producing at a remote site From the monitoring alarm to a logged outage, with a single trip. Example scenario, with made-up data. ### Step 1 · The alarm comes in The monitoring system sends the alarm through the API, and attendo opens the corrective work order with the site and the inverter identified. ### Step 2 · The trip is planned The office combines the work order with the preventive visit due at that site. The technician leaves with both on the route and the part on the truck. ### Step 3 · Work happens offline There is no signal at the site. The app saves the checklist, photos and readings, and uploads everything on the way back. ### Step 4 · The outage is logged The work order closes with the downtime hours and the part swap. The manufacturer’s warranty is noted on the asset. ## Where to start They are the same platform with each area’s modules turned on. Start with one and add the rest without migrating anything. - [attendo CMMS](https://attendo.me/en/cmms): Start here if you operate and maintain sites: assets, plans and work orders. - [attendo Field Service](https://attendo.me/en/field-service): For technicians on the road: scheduling, dispatch and an offline app. - [attendo CRM](https://attendo.me/en/crm): If you sell installations: leads, quotes and e-signature. - [attendo Projects](https://attendo.me/en/projects): If you build the installations: each site as a project, with its Gantt and its cost. ## marIA in energy and renewables It helps you sell faster and maintain with data. ### Predictive with your readings With sensors connected, AI models propose an intervention before the equipment fails. ### AI-drafted quotes It prepares the draft solar quote with your products. The sales rep reviews it and sends it. ### Ask your data “Which sites had the most outages this quarter?” marIA answers with your data and shows the query. **What it does not do:** It does not control the plant or calculate its energy yield. ## What attendo does not do Better to know before the demo. And if your case calls for another tool, we will tell you. - **Not monitoring or SCADA** attendo does not read the plant’s production or calculate its performance. It receives alarms from your monitoring system through the API, as an integration project. - **Permitting, as tasks** Permitting and interconnection paperwork is tracked as project tasks and documents. attendo does not file it with the authorities. - **Not a retail energy billing system** attendo does not bill energy to thousands of customer accounts. That belongs in the energy retailer’s own system. ## Before you decide An honest comparison and a calculator with its assumptions in plain view. ### [Best CMMS software 2026](https://attendo.me/en/comparisons/best-cmms-software-2026) Ten maintenance software options, with no scores: what each one does well and who it is for.

Yes. You manage leads, quotes and signatures in the CRM and the install as a project. When it is done, the system moves into maintenance with its equipment and its plans. ### Does it connect with my monitoring system? Through the API, as an integration project: alarms can open work orders in attendo. Monitoring stays in your system. ### Does the app work at sites with no signal? Yes. The app saves checklists, photos and readings offline and syncs them when the signal returns. ### Does it track inverter and panel warranties? Yes. Each piece of equipment is an asset with its serial number, warranty and service history. ### Can I schedule several sites at once? Yes, with the Gantt chart and the scheduling calendar. Daily dispatch with time windows orders each technician’s visits. ### Does it work for EV chargers? Yes. Each charger is an asset with its maintenance plan, and issues can come in through the charger’s own QR code. ## Bring one site and one project We will show you attendo with your installations, your equipment and the way you sell.
