Question 1

Does Omni Field work for a solar business in Cape Town?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Teams working across Sea Point, Claremont, Constantia, Durbanville and the wider Western Cape area use it to schedule PV installations and inverter and battery fitting, dispatch the nearest technician, and send the invoice before leaving site. Prices are shown and charged in Rand.

Question 2

Can solar installers produce a Certificate of Compliance from the app?

Accepted Answer

Job documents are generated from the job itself and can be emailed to the customer from site. A grid-tied installation needs an electrical Certificate of Compliance and municipal registration, and installers commonly work to the PV GreenCard standard. Omni Field stores the record against the job so it can be found later without going through a filing cabinet.

Question 3

Does it keep working when the signal drops or the power goes out?

Accepted Answer

The mobile app captures job details offline and syncs when the connection returns, which matters on sites with poor coverage and during load shedding. Nothing a technician records on site is lost because the network was not there.

Question 4

What does it cost for a small Cape Town team?

Accepted Answer

There is a free plan for a solo operator. Paid plans start at R119 a month plus R99 per technician seat, including 15% VAT, and only technicians use a paid seat. Admin and viewer users are free.
