Apex Energies supports its growth with monday.com

Since 1991, Apex Energies has been a leader in renewable energy. This French company, founded in Montpellier, is a pioneer in solar photovoltaics. It provides energy production and energy management solutions for businesses and local governments. In recent years, Apex Energies has grown at a breakneck pace, going from 60 employees, 100 projects, and €30 million in revenue in 2019 to 200 employees, 800 projects, and more than €100 million in revenue in 2023. To support this strong growth and streamline its processes, the company turned to Synolia x monday.com.

Apex Energies: (complex) turnkey solar installation projects

Apex Energies, a renewable energy leader, is a pioneer in photovoltaics. It develops and operates solar power plants all over France. It also supports businesses and local governments through every stage of a solar project (from design to operating the solar plant) so they can produce their own energy and control their consumption. These complex projects generate large amounts of technical, administrative, and legal data, sometimes used over several decades.

Over the past few years, Apex Energies has grown fast and the number of projects has increased exponentially, as have the internal requests sent to the purchasing and IT departments.

Teams quickly found themselves dealing with large amounts of scattered data, and struggled to respond efficiently to their colleagues’ requests.

To centralize project information and streamline and automate internal request processes, the IT department championed the rollout of a collaborative tool.

The brief

A collaborative tool suited to every department, to centralize project data and consolidate requests (purchasing and IT support).

Synolia x monday.com

Synolia, a monday.com integration partner, is supporting the Apex Energies project. A collaborative project that spans every department of the company. But also a complex one, requiring several specific (and in-house) software tools to be integrated into a single platform.

 

“We needed a tool that could fit every department, with an interface that was more dynamic, modern, and pleasant than other platforms.”
Benoît Biache, Head of IT, Apex Energies

Our support:

Our support: scoping and onboarding of user teams, then support for all teams two days a week.

Synolia first supported the monday.com implementation with Apex Energies’ IT team. We then supported the rollout of the solution across each internal department.

A single platform for project management and field teams

Today, thanks to monday.com, the data for each project is centralized on a single platform. Apex Energies employees get a clear, global view of all the information (project profitability, technical feasibility, applicable standards, project progress, compliance with objectives and deadlines, etc.), which makes it easier to track, collaborate, and coordinate the different teams working on a project.

“If a deadline is missed, all of the project's deadlines are automatically recalculated and updated in the shared board. We get a global view of all active projects in a single board for tracking.”
Benoît Biache, Head of IT, Apex Energies
“In the urban planning department, the team has to file building permits, bring in land surveyors, print signs… With monday, these steps can be automated, routing each task to a different shared board, for example sending orders to the printer.”
Benoît Biache, Head of IT, Apex Energies

 

 

A ticketing system for purchase requests and IT support requests

With monday.com, Apex Energies’ departments can use forms to submit equipment purchase requests, ask for support, or report data collected in the field.

For example, the construction department’s teams have many equipment purchase requests to place. These requests, once scattered across hundreds of emails, are now centralized through a form on a monday.com board. Each request follows an approval process and is then assigned to a buyer.

In addition, every department has access to an IT support request form that helps them get unblocked in their daily tasks.

Finally, technicians use (in-house) software to gather photos, site data, 3D maps… Thanks to monday.com integrations, this information is brought together in monday.com and linked to a site installation request form.
