Overview
Before SiteCapture, SunUp’s reporting process was inconsistent and frustrating. Field tools were prone to freezing, often resulting in lost data and incomplete reports. Worse, reporting workflows were rigid, limiting their ability to tailor processes to each client or service type.
After implementing SiteCapture, SunUp was able to build fully customized reporting templates, streamline field technician workflows, and ensure high-quality data was submitted before crews even left the site. Today, SiteCapture powers everything from maintenance documentation to safety program compliance across SunUp’s operations.
The Challenge: Rigid Tools and Incomplete Reporting
Anthony Pacheco, Vice President of Operations at SunUp Solar Tech Services, described the limitations of their previous tools: frequent app crashes, lost data, and rigid templates that didn’t reflect real-world field needs.
Key Pain Points:
- Incomplete Reports & Data Loss: Previous apps would freeze or crash mid-task, often losing field data and leaving reports unfinished.
- Limited Workflow Customization: Reporting tools weren’t flexible enough to accommodate the process SunUp needed to enforce across sites.
- User Frustration: Field techs lacked a simple, dependable tool they could trust to work every time.
Beyond technical issues, SunUp’s team had no way to control or update templates in the field, leading to inconsistent execution and difficulty optimizing workflows for their growing service footprint.
The Solution: Reliable Job Site Documentation Purpose-Built for O&M
SunUp had already seen SiteCapture in action through work with a client account. Based on that experience, they decided to implement it across all clients. With SiteCapture’s customizable templates and reliable mobile functionality, SunUp finally had a solution aligned with its operational needs.
Key Implementation Highlights:
- Guided onboarding from SiteCapture’s Customer Success team, including walkthroughs with Lauren and Robin.
- Custom templates that perfectly reflect SunUp’s processes, ensuring field techs follow consistent steps.
- Dynamic fields that simplify data capture and eliminate unnecessary steps.
The Results: More Complete Reports, Happier Clients, and Simpler Workflows
Since implementing SiteCapture, SunUp has seen significant improvements in report reliability and technician adoption, even if they haven’t formally tracked time savings yet.
- Reports are completed before techs leave the jobsite, reducing back-and-forth.
- Clients now receive more accurate and complete data, with easier access.
- Technicians face fewer roadblocks, thanks to clear, streamlined workflows.
- SunUp’s entire safety program is now built and tracked directly in SiteCapture.
Feature Spotlight: Customizable Templates and Dynamic Fields
The combination of customizable templates and dynamic fields has been essential to SunUp’s success with SiteCapture.
- Custom Templates: SunUp built templates for every task type, aligned to specific client needs and internal processes.
- Dynamic Fields: These allow techs to see only the sections relevant to their job—whether working on one inverter or 20—making reports faster to complete and easier to follow.
Advice to Other O&M Teams
