Few business systems can match Oracle’s ERP applications and DAZ Systems, Inc. experience, to deliver all of the information necessary for Clean Energy companies. Providing scalable, industry specific, best in class applications and technology for fast-growing clean energy companies with limited budgets- Oracle offers the widest choice of enterprise software applications. Whether an organization is an utility-type power provider, or a solar system manufacturer/implementation firm, or one who offers wind power systems, there is a need for financial and project data, to track the supply chain, to manage building the complex technology such as PV panels, and to provide customer support on an ongoing basis.
Business Flows
DAZ Systems helps Clean Energy companies overcome these issues and make the move to today’s powerful Oracle enterprise resource planning (ERP) system smooth and cost effective. We help reduce the risk of implementing a comprehensive ERP system by streamlining all of the implementation requirements in order to fully address the unique issues facing today’s global business environment.
There are several types of Alternative Energy Providers
· Independent power producers who deliver affordable, clean, renewable electricity from large scale solar or wind farms.
· Wind power manufacturers that may also may install their own products.
· Solar device manufacturers who may sell to end user organizations or to providers of larger scale power.
· Specialized solar power companies that build and or manage specialized applications.
Key Business Processes
Project Management. Clean Energy companies frequently have project accounting and management requirements for R&D and capital development projects. Maintaining effective financial controls on project budgets and costs are important to financial health especially for emerging Clean Energy companies. Oracle helps you manage project budgets and the inevitable revisions along with costs charged to those projects—and the project management tools to track performance of projects from field project managers to senior executives.
Service Contract Management. Clean Energy companies often sell to resellers, utilities and distributors as well as end customers. Tracking the contract, the warranty, models, parts and details of the installation are critical. Providing service requires timely information and proactive planning in order to keep products at their optimum performance. Oracle helps you take the guesswork out of your service functions by capturing and highlighting requirements. Oracle technology supports provision of service, support for contracts and all the necessary scheduling capabilities.
Product Design and Management. Clean Energy companies are in a new, evolving world where product design is ongoing. Engineering teams need tools to help track revisions, drawings, costing and all aspects of the design process. Oracle helps you take the guesswork out of your product design by capturing and highlighting requirements. Oracle technology supports engineering through manufacturing, by linking these functions until there is continuity.
Asset Management and Maintenance. Capital equipment must be maintained with parts ordered and stocked to keep power producing and manufacturing equipment operating effectively to support revenue goals.
Supply chain visibility and subcontractor integration. The supply chain for the Clean Energy company may include photovoltaic fab, assembly and test facilities, packaging, and third-party logistics providers. Proper yield calculation, costing, and quantity information of procured or produced material is critical for financial tracking. Inventory management with portal access and visibility with external parties and internal outsourced tracking is part of the Oracle solution to improve interaction with supply chain partners. DAZ can integrate any vendor or distributor system required.
Shop Floor Management. Whether the manufacturing is discrete manufacturing or photovoltaic fab, flexibly is needed to support many configurations at the component, work-in-progress, or finished goods level. Yield and costing information is altered by the binning process and must be tracked in detail. Oracle provides lot and serial genealogy at all levels for product traceability.
