Case study — renewable energy infrastructure firm
Turning Megawatts Into A Resource Plan With Zoho CRM & Analytics
A renewable energy engineering firm was excellent at delivering large-scale projects, but had no reliable way to turn a growing sales pipeline into an accurate forecast of the people they'd need to deliver it.
The Challenge
Projects here are measured in Megawatts, not pounds, and the leadership team had no real-time way to translate project scale into human resource requirements. Without a clear view of anticipated versus actual construction start dates, capacity planning stayed reactive: bottlenecks in project delivery were discovered after they'd already happened, not planned around in advance.
The Solution
We rebuilt the Zoho CRM structure around the two data points that actually mattered: project Megawatts, and a proper hierarchy of anticipated versus actual construction dates, while keeping the interface simple enough that the sales team could log high-quality data without it becoming a chore. On top of that, we built a bespoke Zoho Analytics reporting engine using a custom logic model that converts pipeline Megawatts into a Human Resource Unit forecast, giving the business a genuine capacity-versus-demand view months ahead of time.
The Results
- A clear, visual dashboard of projected revenue and pipeline health for senior management
- Capacity visible months in advance, enabling smarter hiring and resource allocation for project teams
- Transparent, data-driven reporting giving investors real confidence in delivery capability
