About Lightspeed

Solaris Energy designs, installs, and maintains large-scale solar power systems for industrial clients and municipalities across 12 countries. Their team spans engineering, procurement, logistics, and field operations — all working together to deliver sustainable energy infrastructure.

With over 300 employees and aggressive deployment timelines, they needed a way to stay in sync without sacrificing speed or safety.

The Challenge

Solaris was scaling fast — but their coordination wasn’t. Each department ran on a different workflow. Engineers tracked deliverables in spreadsheets, ops ran planning in legacy software, and field teams communicated through email. Deadlines slipped. Meetings ballooned. And updates got lost.

“We were growing faster than our systems could handle — every project started with confusion.” 
— Emilia Nordin, Director of Operations

The Solution

Nestly became Solaris’ new operating rhythm. They built repeatable workspaces for everything — from procurement workflows to field install plans. Tasks, documentation, and timelines all live in one shared space, giving real-time visibility to every stakeholder.

Cross-team planning now happens async. Status updates are trackable without needing a single meeting. Even field teams use Nestly on tablets in low-connectivity zones thanks to offline access.

The Results

• 40% reduction in planning time  

• 60+ engineers and field leads onboarded in 2 weeks  

• 3x faster handoffs between departments  

• Critical operations now tracked in shared, reusable workspaces

“Nestly gave us a system that actually matches the scale we’re operating at. It’s where every project starts now.”
