Summer & Winter 24 Updates: so many features, we nicknamed it 'Solarvista 10'!

By Emma James on Jun 20, 2024 9:30:00 AM

Our 'Summer 24' and 'Winter 24' Updates for Solarvista cloud product/platform boast the largest number of new features we ever released in a short period. With an abundance of enhancements and advancements, these updates not only match the capabilities of Solarvista's established products, such as Solarvista V8 and Solarvista LIVE/X9, but surpass them by a significant margin. The sheer magnitude of new features and improvements has led us to affectionately dub these updates with the nickname "Solarvista 10", a testament to their nature. While the official product name remains as 'Solarvista', the impact and innovation of these updates are truly deserving of the moniker "Solarvista 10" as a mark of succession from previous versions.

The mobile app is dead. Long live the platform!

By Paul Adams on Mar 9, 2016 11:05:00 AM

At Solarvista, we launched our first mobile app way back in 2002, called Mobile Worker. It was designed to operate as field service mobile application with our existing field service management back office ERP suite. It did it very well. But… that’s all it did. Yes, you could receive jobs. Yes, you could order parts. Yes, you could capture signatures, take pictures etc. And it worked offline as well as online. In fact it did all of the things that we could think that service technicians wanted to do. It was (and still is) a great application. In fact, it’s used to this day for thousands of users.
