There’s a saying in the startup world: You don’t just build a business; you solve a problem. And sometimes, the biggest problem is running the business itself.
That’s the position Solnce Energy found itself in. A solar EPC company with bold ambitions, Solnce was on a mission to make clean energy more accessible across India. But behind the scenes, scaling that mission was becoming increasingly difficult.
This is the story of how Solnce partnered with Sarvadhi to bring structure to chaos and how that transformation led them to the spotlight on Shark Tank.
Where the Struggle Began
Solnce wasn’t new to the solar space. They were already designing and installing solar systems for homes and businesses. But as demand grew and operations expanded beyond state lines, so did the complexity of running the business.
There were too many moving parts: evolving internal processes, changing government policies, pricing inconsistencies across regions, and constant back-and-forth with vendors. The systems in place were manual, inefficient, and simply couldn’t keep up.
After working with multiple IT providers none of whom fully understood the unique challenges of the solar EPC space, Solnce reached out to Sarvadhi. It was a final attempt to find not just a tech solution, but a true partner.
Enter Sarvadhi: A Different Kind of Collaboration
Sarvadhi didn’t come with pre-built templates or assumptions. Instead, they came with questions. Real ones.
- What’s taking the most time?
- Where are the bottlenecks?
- What needs to be automatic that currently isn’t?
Instead of rushing into development, Sarvadhi worked closely with the Solnce team to truly understand the business, then co-created a plan to rebuild it, smarter and stronger.
Building the Foundation
The project moved forward in phases, each one rooted in real operational needs.
1. Discovery and Mapping
Sarvadhi began by untangling Solnce’s complex workflows. They sat down with every department, documenting challenges and identifying areas where automation could replace manual work.
2. Prototyping the Solution
Instead of jumping straight into code, Sarvadhi created a working prototype, an interactive model that allowed the Solnce team to see and shape the solution before it was built.
3. Developing the MVP
The Minimum Viable Product focused on what Solnce needed most: a functional ERP core, plus vendor and customer apps. This was designed to streamline operations and reduce dependency on manual coordination.
4. Adding Smart Automation
Once the basics were solid, the system evolved with intelligent features - dynamic pricing, automated bidding, compliance updates, and more.
What We Built Together
The end result wasn’t just software; it was a complete transformation of how Solnce operated.
Automated Bidding
For residential projects, Solnce now uses a smart auto-bidding system. Customers input their requirements, and the system handles vendor bidding in seconds—no human involvement, no delays.
Live Bidding for Industrial Projects
For large-scale installations, vendors now participate in real-time, admin-controlled bidding. Solnce can customize bidding rules, extend deadlines, and track activity with full transparency.
Location-Based Pricing
Solar project costs vary dramatically across India due to local regulations and subsidies. Solnce’s new system adjusts pricing based on PIN codes—automatically selecting accurate rates and vendor options based on region.
Regulation Updates Without Developers
Government policies shift often. Solnce’s ERP includes a dynamic policy management tool, allowing admins to change rules on the fly—without having to wait for tech support.
Payment Flexibility Built-In
Every customer is different. Some want to pay upfront, others in stages. The ERP supports all payment structures, auto-generates receipts, and tracks every transaction milestone, ensuring accuracy and trust.
The Results
The numbers speak for themselves.
- 70% Business Growth: Solnce expanded across multiple states, without breaking operationally.
- 20% Cost Savings for Customers: Automated bidding ensured better vendor rates.
- 60% Boost in Customer Satisfaction: A cleaner interface, faster responses, and real-time updates made a clear impact.
- 50% Faster Sales Conversion: Leads were prioritized intelligently, reducing wasted effort and improving focus.
- 85% Reduction in Quote Time: Quotes that used to take days now arrive within minutes.
- 5x More Projects Managed: Solnce now juggles five times more active projects, thanks to real-time tracking and automated coordination.
Making it to Shark Tank
With structure in place, Solnce was no longer a company trying to scale—it was a company ready to lead. The clarity and control introduced through their ERP system didn’t just improve operations—it made the business investor-ready.
When Solnce stepped onto the Shark Tank stage, it wasn’t just their product that impressed the judges. It was the precision. The process. The proof that they had what it takes to grow fast and grow right.
