7 best solar CRM platforms in Papua New Guinea

OpenSolar publishes design, proposals, table and Kanban project views, custom workflows, actions, schedules, documents, roles, permissions and an API. Because almost every valuable PNG system carries the whole load rather than offsetting a bill, judge it on autonomy, depth of discharge and cycle life rather than on the roof render.

Validate PNG imagery, irradiance, humidity and heat handling, off-grid autonomy, equipment libraries, PGK display, tax treatment, field connectivity and document output. Change a design after acceptance and trace price, stock, tax, payment, technical evidence and handover. Review privacy terms, transfers, support coverage, partner presentation and a complete account export.

Pylon documents solar and battery design, web and PDF proposals, design history, integrations and a solar CRM add-on. It says new users receive credits for five Standard Projects and teams can add unlimited users. That supports a practical test involving sales, design and management before the buyer assumes it will replace a spreadsheet and a chat group.

Confirm the dollar currency, the payment method available locally, project rules, CRM cost, taxes and renewal. Test PNG locations, humidity, weather and production inputs, critical loads, autonomy targets, PGK display, offline use, roles and support. Review data processing and export, and model several revisions because a remote site visit almost always changes the design after the first quotation.

Sunbase positions its CRM around solar lead management, sales, communication, proposals, workflow and operational visibility. For a PNG contractor serving mine sites, plantations and health facilities, the operational half is the entire value: keeping inductions current, coordinating a consignment with a vessel and knowing what spare is at which site.

Ask for comparable customer references and use a controlled demo from tender or enquiry through survey, proposal, deposit, invoice, procurement, freight, installation, commissioning and a remote service call. Verify PGK handling, induction and permit expiry alerts, scheduling, stock, offline behaviour, roles, audit history, privacy terms, support hours, the implementation owner, the contract price and data export.

Zoho CRM offers configurable modules, fields, pipelines, workflow, reports, mobile apps, portals and APIs. Custom objects and workflow rules are the reason to consider it here: a consignment with a vessel date, an induction register that blocks dispatch and a community commitment record can each be modelled and enforced rather than remembered.

Build or connect load assessment, solar design, PGK quotations with freight lines and validity, tax treatment, payment reconciliation, stock by province, freight and charter records, induction registers, PNG Power stages, commissioning, assets, warranty and handover. Test mobile offline needs in a province, processor terms, transfers, retention, API limits, support and a complete export.

Odoo combines CRM with quotations, sales, accounting, purchasing, inventory, projects, field service, helpdesk and other applications, including multi-warehouse stock, landed cost handling and project accounting. For a company staging equipment through Port Moresby or Lae before it reaches a site, those modules are the reason to look rather than the CRM itself.

Verify a workable localisation and the accounting route with the responsible implementation partner. Test PGK, tax treatment, landed cost with freight and charter, stock by province, serial numbers, field service in poor connectivity, approvals, licensing and utility evidence, warranty, stock transfers and migration. Connect a specialist design tool and review hosting, backups, upgrades, exit and a restorable export.

HubSpot's free CRM covers contacts, lead management, forms, email, meetings and pipeline for a small user group. Corporate, donor and government decision makers are reachable by email and respond to structured follow up, so the acquisition half of a PNG business is served reasonably well.

Price and test the complete stack: messaging, solar design, PGK quotation with freight lines, tax treatment, payment reconciliation, stock by province, freight and charter scheduling, offline field delivery, induction records, remote service and reporting. Use controlled fields for the location, the licence reference, the induction expiry and the community commitment.
