Summary

A solar developer's partner-employed door-to-door reps had no visibility into a deal once a homeowner signed, so they couldn't answer basic status questions. We built an Experience Cloud portal with personalized rep dashboards, milestone notifications and an AI virtual agent, optimized for iPad use in the field. Information-request calls to internal teams dropped by more than 40%.

Challenge

Disconnected Sales Partners Lacking Critical Deal Visibility

A leading solar power development and acquisition company works with multiple partner organizations that provide door-to-door sales teams. These sales representatives, equipped with iPads, engage directly with property owners to secure solar energy agreements. However, as employees of partner companies rather than the solar provider itself, these crucial frontline workers lacked visibility into how their deals progressed after initial signup—creating frustration, reducing motivation, and limiting their ability to provide updates to potential customers.
