Procurement Management

Optimize your purchasing process.

PowerOn purchasing helps solar PV installation companies manage purchase orders, supplier communication and goods receipt for panels, inverters, racking and other equipment, with purchase analysis to review spending and trends across suppliers and projects. Purchasing data connects directly to inventory and project management, rather than sitting in a standalone system.

Use cases

Purchasing coordinator at a solar installer sourcing from several panel and inverter suppliers

Situation
Comparing supplier pricing and lead times is spread across email and separate spreadsheets, and purchase orders are not linked to the project they belong to.
How we solve it
PowerOn ties each purchase order to its project and supplier record, so pricing and lead-time history is visible in one place per supplier.

Owner reviewing quarterly equipment spend

Situation
There is no consolidated view of which supplier is costing more over time, since purchase data lives in individual order confirmations rather than a shared report.
How we solve it
PowerOn’s purchase analysis reporting aggregates spend by supplier over time, drawn from the purchase orders already recorded in the system.
