Solhver

What exactly does Solhver do?

We study trades businesses

We spend time with the people doing the work to understand the bigger picture, then produce structured data and detailed reports that help buyers and owners make informed decisions.

A very specific business, then? Yep. But as it turns out, understanding a business before changing it is surprisingly useful.  Your teams all have an understanding of their part, but making the whole business visible is our skill.

Everyone has a piece of the picture.
We study how it fits together.

What we found and why it was worth knowing

These issues came to light by following the work, talking to the people doing it, and checking how it connected to the numbers.

$42Kin fleet maintenance waiting for the buyer.

We found maintenance had been suspended for 10 months before the sale. Bringing the fleet back to service condition would require $42K upfront.

$330Kin inventory costs missing from the numbers.

We found parts leaving inventory without their costs being recorded properly. In just 12 months, that left inventory overstated and costs understated by roughly $330K.

$3Min reported backlog. Less than $1M was real remaining work.

We compared the sales backlog with the project manager’s working schedule and found fully invoiced jobs still counted as work to come.

25%faster invoicing.

The job was finished. The office was still chasing the notes. We help MSI build AI agents around the actual workflow, getting technician notes ready for billing with less copying, chasing, and rewriting. That means invoices sent sooner and less time waiting to collect.

The founders' record

Before we walk into your business, know we built one

Solhver was founded by operators with decades of experience in the trades. We have done the daily work of scaling a business, integrating multiple acquisitions, and standing up greenfield operations from the ground up. Others can copy our deliverables or our language, they can't copy our experience.

How we know the method works

The thinking behind the Solhver method helped us integrate an acquisition in 63 days, with ERP and HR live on day one. We understand the value of a detailed operating record, because it showed us how the business actually worked before we touched the systems, people, or process. That clarity kept the operation running through the change. That same type of diligence is what every Business Study delivers.
