The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Check every cell, module, inverter and BOS bill against what you agreed.
Renewables & Solar EPC
Check every cell, module, inverter and BOS bill against what you agreed
Solar firms buy big-ticket hardware against rates that move with global cycles, duty, the rupee and freight, and almost nobody checks the bill against the rate and quantity actually agreed. The manufacturer buys cells, glass, EVA, backsheet, frame and junction boxes; the EPC buys modules, inverters, mounting structure, cables and BOS; the developer contracts EPC and equipment. Invoices are paid against orders nobody matched to a GRN and a rate contract, so overbilling, off-spec material paid at on-spec rate, short quantities, duplicate payments, freight above the rate card and missed rebates slip through. Because the hardware spend is most of the cost, this is the best universal recovery wedge, and the most provable, because the recovered number is the client's own money with a line-level trail.
Who has it
This runs across every segment. It is the signature need for module, mounting and BOS manufacturers (cells, glass, EVA, backsheet and frame, the biggest spend), and strong for rooftop and C&I EPC contractors (modules, inverters, mounting and BOS) and utility-scale project developers (EPC and equipment contracts); for O&M and asset-management operators it is spares and consumables.
What we build
A clean vendor and rate-contract record (by spec, watt-class and grade), then a deterministic match of PO against GRN against invoice that flags every price drift, spec and quantity mismatch, short quantity, duplicate payment, freight overcharge and missed rebate. Clean invoices flow through for one-click approval; only genuine exceptions reach a person.
What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Check every cell, module, inverter and BOS bill against what you agreed; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
What changes day to day
Overbilling, short quantities and off-spec payments are caught before payment, not at audit; the re-keying disappears; buying runs to a rule instead of a relationship. Illustrative: a module manufacturer cleaned its cell-and-glass vendor master and automated the bill-versus-agreement-and-GRN check and surfaced and recovered a few percent of a very large hardware spend, all auditable to its own documents. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
