Blu Banyan, developer of the SolarSuccess platform built on Oracle NetSuite, and LumberFi, a construction workforce management platform, have announced a partnership to enable solar and construction contractors to see what labor actually costs on each job, broken out by work phase and component, directly inside NetSuite-SolarSuccess. The integration connects LumberFi's time tracking and payroll system with SolarSuccess, automatically posting labor costs to the right project and phase, giving operations and finance teams a clear picture of actual labor costs.

Why it matters

Solar contractors working across multiple states, dealing with union pay scales, or meeting certified payroll requirements, know how quickly things get complicated when labor cost data lives in separate systems. As project volumes grow and margins get tighter, the gap between 'what payroll ran' and 'what that job cost' becomes a real problem. This integration helps solar companies get accurate, job-level labor costs while staying aligned with certified payroll and multi-state requirements.

The details

The Blu Banyan/LumberFi integration closes the cost-allocation timing gap by having LumberFi capture time in the field and run payroll, while SolarSuccess takes those payroll results and posts them to the right project and phase (site survey, installation, permitting, commissioning) automatically. This gives operations and finance teams a clear picture of what labor actually costs on each component of each job, based on real payroll, not estimates or after-the-fact allocations.

• The SolarSuccess/LumberFi integration is available now to solar and construction customers.
