HOW WE TRANSFORMED RAW DATA INTO AN INTERACTIVE ELECTRICITY MANAGEMENT TOOL
CLIENT VISION
Brightspark Online provide various services relating to electricity, with the main focus being reducing consumption costs, understanding consumption profile and improving operations.
Elemental Web Solutions was approached by Brightspark Online to develop an online web application, to allow their clients to get
real-time access to various aspects relating to their power consumption and to provide these clients with various tools to allow them to understand their requirements and how they can become more energy efficient.One of the requirements was to make the tool look really slick and present data in a user-friendly way through the use of various graphs and visual dashboards.
Brightspark would typically spend a lot of time doing manual reports, calculations and forecasts, which they wanted to be automated.
THE SOLUTION
Due to the complexity of electricity, how it is billed, how the various tariffs and rules relating to each tariff work, Elemental had to undertake a vast learning exercise. Once completed, the entire project was scoped out with the client.
The web application firstly allowed Brightspark to manage various things like tariffs, costs, clients, etc…
Brightspark’s clients would then be able to login to the system and firstly interact with a highly graphical dashboard allowing them to get an accurate summary of their power consumption profile.
They would then be able to view further graphs and reports allowing them to see their daily, monthly and yearly consumption and costs, tariff-related information, their actual spend versus their budget/target.
A variety of tools were also provided to allow the client to forecast their costs based on increased tariffs and consumption, to manage various branches within their organisation, etc...
BOOM! ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL PROJECT.
The web application firstly reduces the time that Brightspark needs to spend when manually create reports, forecasts, etc… as this is fully automated.
The online system allows their clients to get an accurate and powerful view of all the information related to their electricity consumption and profile, which they can use to make informed business decisions.
Powerful graphs and other tools allow them to forecast, plan and identify areas of improvement within their business. Therefore reducing costs and making them more efficient.
