The Challenge

Sunbility, a solar installation company in Florida, faced several challenges before adopting Upper. Sunbility confronted a horde of operational challenges that were upsetting their solar installation business:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected Sunbility’s labor force, requiring a restructuring to adapt to staff shortages and keep up with service levels.

  • The company encountered a rise in the number of unattended client calls, leading to potential revenue loss as well as compromised consumer loyalty.

  • They used to plan the service routes using Google Maps, which was a time-consuming task and prone to errors as well.

  • Jason struggled to keep a record of the drivers in his service team, leading to inefficient scheduling and dispatching of service tasks.

These operational challenges made Jason think about a solution that could help to streamline his daily operations.


Confronting labor shortages, missed client calls, and wasteful manual route planning, our solar installation business was at a crossroads. We needed a solution to grow, change, and make sure our customers were happy.
