For commercial and utility solar construction
ByFlow by Bywatts is a project workspace for the people who build commercial and utility solar. Plan phases and tasks with dependencies, see the critical path on a Gantt chart, and keep every project on a map. Costs, equipment and crews are planned next.
The app is invite-only and sits behind sign-in. The demo is a game with simulated data and needs no account. See what is live today.
Built for project managers who run commercial and utility solar builds. Each item below says plainly whether it exists today or is planned. Planned items have no release date.
Phases, tasks and finish-to-start dependencies. ByFlow rejects dependency loops, works out the critical path and draws it on a Gantt chart. Move or resize a bar with the mouse or the arrow keys; it snaps to working days. Save a baseline and compare it with the current plan.
Every project with a location is pinned on a map of the United States. Projects without a location are listed beside it, so nothing falls off the board.
Three roles: administrator, project manager and viewer. Administrators manage who can do what. Every change is written to an activity log on the project.
Budget and actual cost for each project, with schedule and cost performance indexes (SPI and CPI). Not in the app yet.
A bill of materials built from IDM product data, with orders and deliveries tracked against the schedule. Not in the app yet.
Crews, daily logs and safety incidents tied to the tasks they belong to. Not in the app yet.
ByFlow has two parts that share a name and a look. They are different things, so here is what each one is.
The real team workspace, hosted on Cloudflare. It sits behind sign-in and is open only to people an administrator has added. There is no public sign-up and no published pricing.
A 3D strategy game that plays a solar build across all 50 states. It needs no account and keeps its saves in your own browser. It is a game, not a planning tool: do not use it for real engineering, safety or cost decisions.
No account, no install. Play a build in your browser, or open the app if you have been invited.
