What is Solavel?

Last updated

Solavel is a business platform: one account at solavel.com that holds your organizations, your team and your subscriptions, plus a family of business apps (SolaCount, SolaProjects, SolaHR, SolaStock and more) that you open from it. Read this page first to understand what each part does and how they fit together.

The two layers

Layer Where What it does
Solavel (the platform and Portal) https://solavel.com/portal Your account, sign-in, organizations, team members and their access, app subscriptions and billing, notifications.
The apps SolaCount at https://solacount.com; the other apps open from Solavel The day-to-day work: invoices and VAT, projects and tasks, employees and payroll, stock and warehouses.

You sign in once with your Solavel account and move between apps without signing in again (single sign-on). Each app shows only the data of the organization you opened it for.

The Portal

The Portal is the Solavel account area. After you sign in you land on Workspace Home, which lists your apps and lets you open them. From the sidebar you can also reach:

  • Organizations — every company you own or have joined, with an overview of each one.
  • Team — the people in your workspace, their organization roles and their app roles.
  • Billing — plans, subscriptions, payment methods and invoices (organization owners only).
  • Account Settings — your name, email, password, photo, theme and language.

See Workspace Home and Organizations.

How the Portal relates to the apps

  1. Identity lives in Solavel. Your email, password (or Google sign-in) and email verification are managed once, in Solavel.
  2. Organizations live in Solavel. You create an organization in the Portal; each app then gets its own private workspace for that organization.
  3. Subscriptions live in Solavel. You choose a plan for each app per organization. Apps never take payment themselves; upgrade links in an app bring you back to the Portal.
  4. Access lives in Solavel. An owner invites people to an organization and decides which apps they may open and with which app role. An app checks this with Solavel each time you open it.
  5. The work lives in the app. Invoices are in SolaCount, tasks in SolaProjects, and so on.
