7 best solar CRM platforms in Trinidad and Tobago

Quickest Solar CRM is our first pick for a small Trinidadian installer whose immediate problem is slow quoting and follow up that nobody owns. That placement uses a disclosed proposal-first adoption lens and still requires a Trinidad and Tobago proof step. OpenSolar is the clearest free design-first option, Pylon pairs design with an optional CRM, and Sunbase publishes wider solar operations. We compared seven tools against TTD documents, adviser-approved VAT, RIC regulation, T&TEC processes, corporate and industrial buying behaviour, foreign exchange constraints and handover.

Which solar CRM is best in Trinidad and Tobago?

Choose Quickest when proposal speed, lead ownership, field adoption and a free pilot are the first priorities. QuickEstimate owns Quickest and its published evidence is India-first, so Trinidadian currency, VAT, RIC and T&TEC fields, hosting and support all remain unverified until a demo proves them. OpenSolar is better when free solar design leads the purchase. Because domestic electricity has historically been inexpensive here, the strongest CRM is often the one that supports a corporate rather than a payback conversation, which favours the configurable platforms for larger contractors.

The best solar CRM by use case

A useful shortlist starts with the sales or delivery bottleneck. Each winner below reflects a different buying priority, while the overall ranking rewards a CRM that a solar sales team can adopt quickly.

The Trinidad and Tobago Solar CRM Fit Test

We saved English search attempts across Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave and Mojeek, then traced one record from an enquiry or tender notice through site visit, load assessment, quotation, deposit, design, electrical work, any T&TEC application, procurement including foreign exchange, installation, commissioning, invoicing, handover and service. Ranking rewards focused sales adoption first, then solar design, operational breadth, field usability, finance fit and configurable CRM depth. Trinidad and Tobago facts come from the Regulated Industries Commission, T&TEC and the Ministry of Finance. Product descriptions come from official vendor pages and remain vendor claims.

01

Solar workflow depth

Can the product carry system details, proposal status, project milestones, and the delivery handoff without rebuilding the process in custom fields?

02

Sales control

Can managers route leads, track activity, automate follow-up, forecast revenue, and see why an opportunity stalled?

03

Proposal and design

Can a rep move from site information to a credible customer proposal, and how much specialist solar design happens inside the platform?

04

Local transaction fit

Does the workflow support the language, currency, tax, communications, documents, and handoffs common in Trinidad and Tobago?

05

Cost to adoption

What setup, migration, training, administration, and extra software does the apparent subscription require?

Evidence standard. This edition uses public product, pricing, regulatory, and market sources checked on Sep 7, 2026. A listed capability may depend on plan or configuration. We did not conduct hands-on tests, so we do not publish numerical product scores.

Where power is cheap, the CRM has to sell something other than payback

Trinidad and Tobago is the one market on this list where a low electricity tariff is the central commercial fact. Domestic supply has historically been inexpensive because of the country's gas position, which means a residential payback calculation rarely closes a sale on its own. The buyers who do move are corporates with sustainability reporting obligations, industrial sites managing reliability, and institutions with procurement mandates. Those are longer, document-heavy sales cycles, and a CRM built entirely around a fast residential quotation will be aimed at the wrong customer.

01

The Regulated Industries Commission regulates electricity and water services in Trinidad and Tobago, including rates and service standards. A proposal that quotes a saving is quoting a rate, so the record should identify the customer class taken from the actual bill, the meter type, the billing period, the units, any fixed or demand charge, the source, the effective period, the self-consumption assumption and the sensitivity. Store the reference and the checked date beside every figure shown to a customer.

Regulated Industries Commission: Regulated Industries Commission ↗
02

T&TEC is the electricity commission and the counterparty for supply, metering and any grid-related arrangement. Store the customer account, the rate class taken from the actual bill, the meter type, the supply phase, the requested capacity, the application route, the reference, the technical review outcome, the fees, the inspection, the meter arrangement, the activation and the completion evidence. Confirm the current process for the specific site rather than reusing an older checklist.

T&TEC: Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission ↗
03

The Ministry of Finance oversees tax administration in Trinidad and Tobago, including VAT and corporation tax. A Trinidadian solar sale mixes imported equipment, local supply, structural and electrical work, design, installation, batteries, transport, maintenance and finance. Configure tax per line, show whether displayed prices include or exclude VAT, retain the tax source and effective date, and have a local adviser approve deposits, staged invoices, retention on larger contracts, variations, credit notes and invoice wording.

Ministry of Finance Trinidad and Tobago: Ministry of Finance ↗
04

Because domestic electricity has historically been inexpensive, a residential payback argument frequently fails on its own terms. Store what actually motivated the buyer instead: outage exposure, backup requirement, roof space available, sustainability commitment, a corporate parent's reporting obligation or a specific resilience event. A CRM that only records a projected saving will not tell a sales manager why the deals that closed actually closed.

Regulated Industries Commission: Regulated Industries Commission ↗
05

Corporate and industrial buyers move through procurement with document requirements ordinary residential pipelines never see. Store the tender or request reference, the issuing organisation, the closing date, insurance and certification requirements, health and safety documentation, the technical and pricing schedules, clarifications, the submission receipt, the outcome, the contract, the agreed service level and the permitted shutdown windows.

T&TEC: Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission ↗
06

Sustainability reporting is increasingly the reason a large customer buys, which changes what the handover pack must contain. Store the installed capacity, the commissioning date, the expected annual generation with its assumptions, the monitoring arrangement, the data export format, the emissions factor used and its source, and who at the customer receives the annual figures. A customer reporting to a parent company will ask for that data every year.

Ministry of Finance Trinidad and Tobago: Ministry of Finance ↗
07

Foreign exchange availability affects procurement timing for imported equipment. Store the order, the supplier, the currency, the exchange assumption used in the quotation, the payment approval status, the expected arrival and the clearance position, and link the customer commitment date to that record rather than to a salesperson's estimate. A delay caused by a payment queue is still a missed date to the customer.

Ministry of Finance Trinidad and Tobago: Ministry of Finance ↗
08

Industrial sites in the energy and petrochemical sector impose access controls that shape scheduling. Record the site induction requirement, the safety file, permits to work, escort arrangements, the contact chain, planned shutdown windows, the service interval and the escalation path. A crew turned away at a gate because an induction lapsed is a day lost, and the CRM field that prevents it costs nothing to maintain.

T&TEC: Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission ↗
09

Tobago adds an inter-island dimension to scheduling and stock. Store the island, the ferry or flight arrangement, the freight cut-off, the crew travel plan, accommodation where needed, the parts held on each island and the technician who can attend. A service call to Tobago planned as though it were in central Trinidad will either cost more than it earns or arrive late.

Each review explains the useful workflow, the buyer who should shortlist it, and the country-specific question that a sales demo must answer.

Best free design-first option

OpenSolar

OpenSolar project CRM ↗

OpenSolar is the strongest free design-first route, and its commercial design depth matters more here than its residential polish.

Core accessFreeDesignSolar and storageCRM viewsTable and KanbanExtensionAPI

OpenSolar publishes design, proposals, table and Kanban project views, custom workflows, actions, schedules, documents, roles, permissions and an API. In a market where the serious volume is commercial, judge it on how it handles larger arrays, demand profiles and multi-building sites rather than on how a residential roof render looks in a browser.

Validate Trinidadian imagery, irradiance, humidity and heat handling, commercial load profiles, equipment libraries, TTD display, VAT, utility stages, 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.

Why shortlist it
  • Solar design and CRM together
  • Free core model
  • Workflow and permission features
  • API available
Check before buying
  • Test commercial array and demand handling
  • Validate TTD display and VAT
  • Review partner and privacy terms
  • Trace revisions through handover

Choose it if: design leads the purchase and a free core product is attractive. Choose another platform if: procurement documents, induction records and reporting dominate the requirement list.

03
P
Best compact design and CRM trial

Pylon

Pylon pricing ↗

Pylon supports a compact design and CRM evaluation, with billing arrangements and Trinidadian operation still unverified.

Trial5 Standard ProjectsUsersUnlimited statedProposalWeb and PDFCRMOptional

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 the product 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 Trinidadian locations, commercial load profiles, backup sizing, TTD display, roles and support. Review data processing and export, and model several revisions on one industrial job because a technical committee typically generates two rounds of changes before an award.

Why shortlist it
  • Solar and battery design
  • Optional solar CRM
  • Five-project trial credits
  • Unlimited team users stated
Check before buying
  • Confirm currency and payment method
  • Validate commercial load modelling
  • Test revision economics
  • Review privacy, support and export

Choose it if: the team wants to trial solar design, proposals and CRM together. Choose another platform if: procurement, compliance documents and reporting dominate.

04
S
Best broad solar operations candidate

Sunbase

Sunbase solar CRM ↗

Sunbase publishes broad solar CRM scope, and document plus induction control is what a Trinidadian contractor should test.

CategorySolar CRMPipelineLead and salesOperationsProject workflowTrinidad priceQuote required

Sunbase positions its CRM around solar lead management, sales, communication, proposals, workflow and operational visibility. For a contractor working on industrial sites, the operational half decides the value: assembling a compliant bid, keeping inductions and insurance current, and scheduling inside a shutdown window. Public product language is not evidence that it fits those constraints.

Ask for comparable customer references and use a controlled demo from tender notice through survey, bid, award, deposit, invoice, procurement, installation, commissioning and service. Verify TTD handling, document and induction expiry alerts, scheduling, roles, audit history, privacy terms, storage, support hours, the implementation owner, the contract price, data export and how a post-award variation propagates.

Why shortlist it
  • Solar-specific CRM scope
  • Project and compliance orientation
  • Scheduling potential
  • Less generic configuration needed
Check before buying
  • Request references and price
  • Test induction and insurance alerts
  • Verify scheduling around shutdowns
  • Review privacy, support and export

Choose it if: a contractor works on industrial and institutional sites. Choose another platform if: a free design tool or a simpler proposal CRM meets the immediate need.

05
Z
Best configurable general CRM

Zoho CRM

Zoho CRM pricing ↗

Zoho is the most realistic fit for a Trinidadian corporate-account business, because the problem is documents rather than quotations.

Free users3TypeGeneral CRMAutomationConfigurableSolar designExternal

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 tender record with expiry alerts, an induction register that blocks dispatch, and a sustainability reporting dataset can all be enforced rather than remembered.

Build or connect load assessment, solar design, TTD quotations, VAT, payment reconciliation, inventory, T&TEC stages, procurement documents, induction records, reporting data, commissioning, assets, warranty and handover. Test processor terms, transfers, retention, API limits, support, a complete export and the administrator effort required after launch rather than during the demo.

Why shortlist it
  • Custom objects for tenders and inductions
  • Workflow can block dispatch
  • Free for three users
  • Fits corporate account management
Check before buying
  • Budget configuration ownership
  • Build induction and expiry rules
  • Build reporting dataset
  • Review privacy and contract terms

Choose it if: corporate and industrial accounts drive the revenue. Choose another platform if: the team expects ready-made solar workflows with little configuration.

06
O
Best configurable operations suite

Odoo

Odoo pricing ↗

Odoo suits a Trinidadian contractor whose project accounting, stock and field service have outgrown a sales tool.

StructureModular suiteEntryOne app free statedOperationsBroadSolar engineeringExternal

Odoo combines CRM with quotations, sales, accounting, purchasing, inventory, projects, field service, helpdesk and other applications, including project accounting suited to staged contracts with retention. For a contractor invoicing an industrial client across milestones, that is closer to the real problem than any proposal feature.

Verify a current Trinidadian localisation and the accounting route with the responsible implementation partner. Test TTD, VAT, retention on staged contracts, landed cost and foreign exchange handling, serial numbers, field service with permits, approvals, T&TEC evidence, warranty and migration. Connect a specialist design tool and review privacy roles, hosting, backups, upgrades, exit and a restorable export.

Why shortlist it
  • Project accounting with retention
  • Landed cost and currency handling
  • Inventory and field service
  • Flexible for mixed services
Check before buying
  • Verify localisation and tax setup
  • Test retention and staged invoicing
  • Price partner work and custom code
  • Add specialist solar design

Choose it if: staged contracts, stock, field service and CRM should share one suite. Choose another platform if: the business wants a solar-specific proposal product with minimal implementation.

Best for marketing-led acquisition

HubSpot CRM

HubSpot free CRM ↗

HubSpot handles the corporate relationship well and does nothing about compliance documents or field constraints.

Free usersUp to 2ContactsUp to 1,000StrengthAcquisition and communicationSolar designExternal

HubSpot's free CRM covers contacts, lead management, forms, email, meetings and pipeline for a small user group. Long corporate sales cycles with several stakeholders are genuinely well served by sequences, meeting scheduling, document tracking and deal collaboration, so the acquisition half of a Trinidadian business fits HubSpot's strengths better than most markets on this list.

Price and test the complete stack: messaging, solar design, TTD quotation, VAT, payment reconciliation, inventory, field delivery with permits, procurement documents, sustainability reporting, service and reporting. Use controlled fields for the rate class, the T&TEC reference, the induction expiry, the responsible electrician, equipment, commissioning and warranty.

Why shortlist it
  • Strong multi-stakeholder deal tooling
  • Free small-team entry
  • Broad integration ecosystem
  • Expandable customer platform
Check before buying
  • Calculate total hub and contact cost
  • Add compliance and field systems
  • Configure reporting dataset
  • Review privacy, support and export

Choose it if: long corporate sales cycles are the priority and integrations can be governed. Choose another platform if: compliance documents, inductions and field scheduling are the real problems.

How should a Trinidadian solar company choose a CRM?

Choose by the most expensive broken handoff, then test that handoff using real opportunities, real users, and the documents your customers actually receive.

Small proposal-led installerQuickest Solar CRM

Start with Quickest when slow quoting and unowned follow up are the visible failures on residential and small commercial work. Use the free plan on real Trinidadian opportunities, and record buyer motivation rather than projected saving. Continue only if the vendor proves TTD, VAT, T&TEC fields, motivation reporting, privacy, support and export in the buyer's own contract.

Free design-first startupOpenSolar

OpenSolar fits a team that needs solar design, proposals and project CRM before it can fund a wider stack. Validate Trinidadian imagery, irradiance inputs, humidity and heat handling, backup and battery cases, TTD display, VAT, utility stages, data terms, mobile performance and support coverage before the free product decides the architecture.

Design and CRM in one trialPylon

Pylon is worth testing when web and PDF proposals, solar and battery design and an optional solar CRM all appeal. Confirm the displayed currency, Trinidadian model inputs, project credit economics across several revisions, mobile use, tax connections, permissions, support hours and the evidence produced at handover for a corporate customer.

Industrial and commercial contractorSunbase

Sunbase targets broader solar sales and operational workflows, which suits a contractor serving industrial sites, commercial landlords and institutions. Ask for comparable references and test procurement tracking, induction and insurance expiry alerts, scheduling around shutdown windows, service contracts, offline behaviour, privacy, commissioning and export.

Corporate-account or multi-line businessZoho CRM or Odoo

A configurable platform can model tenders, compliance documents, induction records, sustainability reporting data, imported stock and service agreements together. That flexibility requires an administrator, a specialist solar design tool and disciplined data ownership. Odoo is stronger where inventory, project accounting and field service dominate; Zoho is the more familiar CRM route.

Marketing-led installerHubSpot CRM

HubSpot fits a business whose first priority is forms, campaigns, email, meetings and pipeline visibility, and it suits selling to corporate decision makers who respond to structured follow up. Budget the solar design, quotation, tax, procurement, project, reporting and governance tools around it and test total cost as contacts grow.

The Three-Deal Proof

Run the same three opportunities in every shortlisted CRM: one ordinary lead, one revision-heavy project, and one deal that already failed. This removes demo theatre and exposes repeated entry, stale documents, weak mobile adoption, and missing local support.

  1. 1
    Run the clean deal

    Capture a real lead, assign it, create the proposal, schedule follow-up, record acceptance, and hand it to delivery.

  2. 2
    Change the assumptions

    Change the system, equipment, price, payment route, and installation date. Identify every stale record.

  3. 3
    Recreate a failure

    Use a duplicate, missed follow-up, rejected proposal, or delayed job and ask the CRM to show what happens next.

9 requirements to verify in Trinidad and Tobago

01

TTD quotation and adviser-approved VAT control

Produce a taxable sale, a mixed supply of imported equipment, structural work and services, a deposit, a staged invoice, retention on larger contracts, a variation, a credit note, a refund, a discount and a warranty replacement in TTD. Check inclusive and exclusive display, rounding, taxpayer identifiers, permissions and the signed revision. Let the accountant decide classification and confirm the vendor's own billing terms in writing.

02

Motivation and decision-driver fields

Record what actually motivated the buyer: outage exposure, backup requirement, sustainability commitment, a parent company obligation, procurement mandate or a specific resilience event. Test reporting on won and lost deals by motivation rather than by projected saving. In a low tariff market that single report will tell a sales manager more than any pipeline dashboard.

03

Corporate procurement and compliance documents

Store the tender or request reference, the issuing organisation, the closing date, insurance and certification requirements, health and safety documentation, the technical and pricing schedules, clarifications, the submission receipt, the outcome, the contract, the agreed service level and permitted shutdown windows. Set alerts against document and insurance expiry rather than against the closing date alone.

04

T&TEC application and metering evidence

Capture the customer account, the rate class from the actual bill, the meter type, the phase, the requested capacity, the application route, the reference, the technical review outcome, fees, the inspection, the meter arrangement, the activation and the completion evidence. Test a rejection and a resubmission, and never let a pipeline stage be the only record that an approval exists.

05

Sustainability reporting data

Store the installed capacity, the commissioning date, the expected annual generation with its assumptions, the monitoring arrangement, the data export format, the emissions factor used and its source, and the customer contact who receives annual figures. Test producing that report a year after commissioning from the CRM alone, because a corporate customer will request it and will not accept a rebuilt estimate.

06

Foreign exchange and procurement timing

Store the order, supplier, currency, the exchange assumption used in the quotation, the payment approval status, the expected arrival and the clearance position, and derive the customer commitment date from that record. Test a job promised on equipment whose payment is still queued, and confirm the customer notification and revised date follow rather than being improvised by the salesperson.

07

Industrial site access and safety records

Record the site induction requirement and expiry, the safety file, permits to work, escort arrangements, the contact chain, shutdown windows, the service interval and the escalation path. Test a crew dispatched with a lapsed induction and confirm the system blocks the dispatch rather than discovering the problem at the gate.

08

Tobago scheduling and stock

Store the island, the ferry or flight arrangement, the freight cut-off, the crew travel plan, accommodation where needed, the parts held on each island and the technician who can attend. Test a service call on Tobago and confirm the CRM can show whether the part is already there before anyone books travel.

09

Handover, warranty and service history

Export the accepted scope, variations, the as-built design, installed equipment and serial numbers, photographs, test results, commissioning, T&TEC evidence, invoices and payment status, warranties, manuals, monitoring access, training, signatures, open defects and the service contact. For corporate customers add the compliance pack, the reporting data and the agreed service level.

Contract rule: A country name on a vendor website does not prove that local billing, documents, integrations, support hours, or regulatory workflows are included in your plan. Put each required capability in the order form.

What does solar CRM software cost in Trinidad and Tobago?

Trinidadian pricing has an extra constraint: a foreign currency subscription depends on payment access as well as budget. Quickest publishes INR terms, OpenSolar describes its core platform as free, Pylon shows dollar prices whose billing currency should be confirmed, and Zoho publishes USD global tiers. Sunbase needs a quote for the relevant scope. Odoo and HubSpot vary by apps, seats, contacts and implementation. Ask for billing currency, the payment method available locally, taxes, bank charges, users, projects, storage, integrations, API calls, messaging, onboarding, support hours, renewal, exit and every product needed to reach a compliant invoice and a delivered corporate contract.

Request Trinidad users, modules, implementation, integrations, support and renewal pricing.

Quickest lists one free user with ten proposals monthly and Pro at INR 6,999 per user yearly with a three-user minimum. Trinidadian commercial and tax terms are unverified.

OpenSolar states that its core platform is free because partners fund the model. Review partner choices, paid services, data use, support coverage and connected system costs.

Pylon offers five Standard Project credits to new users and states unlimited team users. Confirm the displayed currency, the payment method available locally, the CRM add-on and renewal.

Zoho's reviewed page offers three free users alongside paid USD tiers. HubSpot states up to two free users and 1,000 contacts. Neither free plan supplies a complete Trinidadian solar operating stack.

Confirm that the business can make and renew a foreign currency subscription payment, because access rather than price is often the binding constraint on software here.

Compare the cost of one complete acceptance case rather than a feature checklist, and price one lost tender alongside it. A bid disqualified over a lapsed insurance certificate costs far more than several years of licences, and it is exactly the failure a document expiry alert prevents.

Ask what happens when a payment for imported equipment is queued or an induction expires before a scheduled visit. The commercial proposal should identify alerting, approval workflow, manual reconciliation, notification, data ownership and support escalation.

Why Quickest Solar CRM ranks first in Trinidad and Tobago

Quickest concentrates on lead ownership, a mobile proposal and the next follow up, which is a practical first adoption target for a small Trinidadian sales team.

Its free plan lets one person test ten monthly proposals before the company commits to migration, custom integration or additional seats.

First place stays conditional on proof. TTD handling, VAT, T&TEC evidence, motivation reporting, procurement documents and corporate handover data are not verified for Trinidad and Tobago.

Frequently asked questions about solar CRM in Trinidad and Tobago

What is the best solar CRM in Trinidad and Tobago?

Quickest is first under our proposal-first adoption lens for a small team, but QuickEstimate owns it and Trinidadian localisation is unverified. OpenSolar is the better free design-first option. If corporate and industrial accounts drive your revenue, a configurable platform such as Zoho or Odoo will usually serve you better than any proposal-first tool, because the work is document heavy rather than quotation heavy.

Why is the sales case different in Trinidad and Tobago?

Because domestic electricity has historically been inexpensive relative to the region, a residential payback argument frequently fails on its own terms. The buyers who move are usually motivated by outage exposure, backup requirements, sustainability reporting obligations or procurement mandates. Record that motivation in the CRM, because it predicts which deals close far better than a projected saving does.

Does Quickest support TTD quotations and Trinidadian VAT?

We found no verified public evidence for native TTD proposals or Trinidadian VAT handling. Quickest's published evidence is India-first. Require a live taxable quotation, a deposit, a staged invoice with retention, a credit note, a refund and an accounting export during the demo, plus written billing currency, a workable payment method and support terms.

What sustainability data should the CRM hold?

The installed capacity, the commissioning date, the expected annual generation with its assumptions, the monitoring arrangement, the data export format, the emissions factor used and its source, and the customer contact who receives annual figures. Test producing that report a year later from the CRM alone, because a corporate customer will ask for it and will not accept a reconstructed estimate.

What should the CRM record about T&TEC?

Store the customer account, the rate class taken from the customer's own bill, the meter type, the phase, the requested capacity, the application route, the reference, the technical review outcome, the fees, the inspection, the meter arrangement, the activation and the completion evidence. Confirm the current process for the specific site rather than reusing an older checklist.

How should industrial site access be handled?

As blocking data. Record the site induction requirement and its expiry, the safety file, permits to work, escort arrangements, the contact chain and shutdown windows, and prevent dispatch when an induction has lapsed. A crew turned away at a refinery gate loses a full day, and the field that prevents it costs nothing to maintain.

How does foreign exchange affect the CRM requirement?

It affects the date you can promise. Store the order, the supplier, the currency, the exchange assumption used in the quotation, the payment approval status, the expected arrival and the clearance position, then derive the customer commitment date from that record. A delay caused by a payment queue is still a missed date from the customer's point of view.

Which free CRM can a Trinidadian installer test first?

Quickest offers one user and ten proposals monthly. OpenSolar publishes a free core solar platform. Zoho offers three free users, and HubSpot states up to two users and 1,000 contacts. For corporate-account businesses, test Zoho's custom modules early, because the compliance document problem is what a proposal tool cannot solve.

What belongs in a Trinidadian solar handover pack?

Include the accepted scope, variations, the as-built design, installed equipment and serial numbers, photographs, test results, commissioning, T&TEC evidence, invoices, payment status, warranties, manuals, monitoring access, training, signatures, open defects and the service contact. For corporate customers add the compliance pack, the sustainability reporting data and the agreed service level.
