Case Study: First Solar reduces pre-construction risks with Leankor

How First Solar reduced pre-construction risks and improved project visibility with Leankor

First Solar, a leading provider of photovoltaic solar systems, faced significant challenges in managing the complex pre-construction phase of its solar projects. Their product delivery team lacked project-wide visibility, relying on disparate spreadsheets and manual processes that provided shallow, outdated insights. This disconnect between teams and systems left the company exposed to unnecessary financial and project risks, prompting them to seek a solution from Leankor to improve collaboration and gain access to real-time data.

Leankor implemented its native Salesforce work and project management solution, which provided a centralized hub for all project activities. The solution offered 360-degree visibility with customized dashboards and robust reporting, seamlessly integrating with First Solar's existing Salesforce applications. This enabled over 200 employees to make data-driven decisions, significantly improving collaboration and reducing inefficiencies. As a result, Leankor helped First Solar proactively manage risks, hit critical timelines, and reduce missed milestones, leading to a successful rollout that was later extended into their construction phase.
