Enerflo alternative

Replace Enerflo. And the rest.

Enerflo connects the tools a solar company already rents into one flow, from proposal to permission to operate. TradeMade builds one system that replaces them: leads and canvassing, sales-ready designs, proposals and contracts, permits and installs, crews and rep pay, plus the call center phones, website and AI calls and chat. One system, built around how your company works.

Free, no pitch deck. Bring your Enerflo invoice and the list of everything else you pay for.

Credit where it's due

Connects the tools. You still rent them.

What Enerflo's own site says about how it works.

Built for solar, end to end

Enerflo covers the solar deal from the first knock to permission to operate: proposals, financing, signing packets, a customer portal and an install tracker.

It connects, it doesn't replace

Enerflo tells companies to keep their lenders, CRM and design tool, and says it connects them rather than completely replacing them. Each of those is still its own bill.

Price on a call

Enerflo publishes no prices. Pricing comes from a discovery call.

What we build, and what it replaces

What we build instead.

One system built around how your company already works, replacing the separate tools you rent today. These are the layers trade companies lean on most.

  1. Layer 02 · Pipeline

    Leads and CRM

    Every door, call, web form and referral lands in one record, and nobody re-types it. Leads from your online ads go to your call center or reps in seconds.

    Replaces
    • Rented CRMs
    • Lead spreadsheets
  2. Layer 04 · Paper

    Quotes, proposals and e-signature

    Priced from your own price book and signed at the kitchen table, inside the system, with the signed copy filed on the job.

    Replaces
    • E-signature services
    • Proposal tools
  3. Layer 05 · Jobs

    Projects, scheduling, dispatch and crews

    From sold to installed: schedules, crews, materials, photos and change orders on one job record.

    Replaces
    • Field service apps
    • Project management apps
  4. Layer 07 · Talk

    Phones, call center, texts and reviews

    Call routing and dialing for your call center, texts, email and a customer portal. Confirmations, reminders and review requests go out on their own, with consent on record.

    Replaces
    • Texting and review apps
    • Dialers
  5. Layer 08 · Money

    Billing, commissions and pay

    Invoices and service plans that bill themselves, and every rep's pay worked out the moment the deal closes.

    Replaces
    • Add-on billing modules
    • Commission spreadsheets
  6. Layer 11 · AI team

    Agents that answer while your team is in the field

    Voice and chat agents pick up calls and chats, answer from your own records and book the appointment. How our AI works.

    Replaces
    • Answering services
    • Chat widgets
  7. The whole stack

    TradeMade. One system.

    Every layer works as one, with your data moved over for you. You pick the layers your business needs, and the full list is on the home page.

What it really costs

A layer on top. The bills underneath.

Enerflo doesn't publish its prices, and it's built to sit on top of the tools you already rent. Here's what that means for the bill.

The math

Less from month one.

An example: a solar company paying $5,000 a month for Enerflo and everything around it, the CRM, the canvassing app, the design tool, the dialer. The build is about $42,000, paid over the first year, so about $3,500 a month. After that, running it is $1,500 a month. They pay less from the first month, with one system that does far more and the busywork automated.

Today, five years$300,000$5,000 a month
TradeMade, five years$114,000About $3,500 a month in year one, then $1,500 a month, plus AI usage at cost, for the whole system

Bigger company? The gap grows. At $20,000 a month, the build is about $168,000 and running it is $2,000 a month: about $264,000 over five years against $1.2 million. At $50,000 a month, it's about $660,000 against $3 million.

Example only, using our typical figures: the build is about 70% of one year of your current software spend, paid over the first year, with a $35,000 minimum; running it is 10% of that spend, never less than $1,500 a month. Not a promise for any one business; your Blueprint gives your real number. Work out yours.

What it costs

Priced against what you pay now.

Not a cheaper copy of what you rent. One system that does far more, with the work your team does by hand today automated, priced against what you already pay.

~70%of one year of what you spend on software today, for the build, paid over the first year. Builds start at $35,000.
10%of that spend to run it after that, never less than $1,500 a month, plus AI usage at cost.

Percentages are typical figures from our builds and proposals, not a promise for any one business. AI usage is billed at cost and depends on how much your agents do.

Switching from Enerflo

Straight answers.

Is TradeMade an Enerflo alternative?

Yes, and a wider one. Enerflo is software you rent. TradeMade builds one system around your company that covers the work Enerflo does and the parts most companies rent from other vendors or run on spreadsheets: canvassing, sales and crew pay, call center phones, your website, mailers, and AI that answers calls and chats.

Can you move our data out of Enerflo?

Yes. We move your customers, proposals, signed documents and project milestones over from Enerflo and the tools around it, and check them before anything is switched off. We plan the switch around your contract's renewal date, and on a TradeMade system your data sits in accounts in your name.

Is it cheaper?

Compare what you get, not just the bill. One system replaces Enerflo and the tools around it, does far more and automates work your office does by hand. The build is about 70% of one year of what you spend on software today, paid over the first year, with a $35,000 minimum. After that, running it costs 10% of that spend, never less than $1,500 a month, plus AI usage at cost. A company spending $5,000 a month pays about $3,500 a month in the build year, then $1,500 a month. The calculator on our home page shows your own number.

How long does it take to switch?

The Blueprint session gives you a real timeline for your company. For comparison, one of our home improvement clients went from a blank page to daily use in eighteen days.

Do we lose anything Enerflo does today?

The Blueprint maps every Enerflo feature you actually use, and the build covers those before Enerflo is canceled. If something you rely on isn't covered yet, you keep Enerflo until it is.

Who owns the system?

Your data is always yours. You hold a license to run, repair and change your system for your own business, for good, or you can own it outright, quoted case by case. Our trained AI agents stay ours and run as a service.
