Overview

The problem: Energy installers still waste dozens of hours per project on pen & paper processes. Their CRM, ERP, email, planning tools are completely detached from each other.

The solution: autarc lets installers automate their repetitive business tasks on a single platform. They manage everything from one interface: WhatsApp or iMessage. This combines their legacy tools into one system. We save 24+ hours on every home energy project, like heat pump, solar, wallbox or battery installations.

The technology: On top of our OS, autarc leverages LiDAR for spatial analysis, computer vision for automated assessment, and AI for system recommendations. This enables installers to confidently transition to and scale up sustainable home energy solutions.
