Transform how your team members — and your customers — interact with your services. In a word, ESG’s API feature integrates. We know that’s an overused buzzword, so here’s what we mean: You use several different systems to provide your customers with the services they need. Databases, ERP systems, CRM software...they all need to connect in order to complete, track, and report on your EE programs.

You could manually upoad, check over, publish, and download every piece of data you and your customers need. Alternatively, your applications could communicate with each other, online, and allow you to skip all the manual steps. Since we’re always looking for efficiencies, working to streamline processes, improve workflow and work quality, and make our clients’ lives easier, that’s what we’ve developed API to do for you.

Be on the leading edge of a DSM program revolution. No other vendor offers a truly online way to integrate EE program applications. Combined with the other features of our Energy Efficiency Collaboration Platform (EECP), you’ll reap these benefits and more:

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API)

HOW IT WORKS

API stores your data in the cloud from start to finish, which mitigates

many cybersecurity risks and helps keep

customer records and your own data safe.

No more hefty reports at the end of the

month — with API, you can view your data up to the minute and run reports whenever

they’re needed.

An all-in-one-place, user-friendly interface means you no longer

need to manage vendor outputs; API

helps make your team more self-reliant.

API facilitates neater, streamlined, orderly

communications between systems, as

opposed to bulk uploads being shuttled

back and forth.

Improved Data Security

Seamless Efficiency

SITUATION:ESG teamed with AM Conservation Group to develop a verification tool for Hoosier Energy in Indiana. Hoosier Energy’s need: a way to verify that customers purchasing energy efficiency products from AM Conversation were valid customers—that is, people who live within one of their cooperatives. By ensuring that customers fall under Hoosier Energy’s jurisdiction, the clients can properly claim savings and receive allocated incentives.

INSIGHTS:Hoosier Energy is a generation and transmission cooperative serving 18 member electric cooperatives (686,000 people) in Indiana and Illinois. AM Conservation offers an online marketplace for utility customers to buy discounted energy efficiency, water conservation, and weatherization products, such as lightbulbs, smart thermostats, weather stripping, efficient showerheads, etc.

SOLUTION:ESG provided the API tool from our flagship Energy Efficiency Collaboration Platform (EECP), which could be used to validate that an AM Conservation customer was a valid residential customer for Hoosier Energy and therefore eligible for the Residential Lighting Program. Further, the API absorbs and tracks all purchases made by utility customers so that Hoosier Energy can accurately track savings, as well as incentives that need to be repaid to AM Conservation during year-end reconciliation.

IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS:Because our API is so robust, no further tailoring was required to make the tool suit AM Conservation and Hoosier Energy’s needs exactly – after the implementation and training period, the clients were essentially able to “plug and play.”

IMPACT:With such a breadth of data tracked by the API, clients are privy to a detailed view of customer activity, which provides several benefits. For example, reports of purchase records and trends allow Hoosier Energy to prepare proactively for future orders of needed energy efficiency products. Because it is online, the API also makes it easier for AM Conservation to provide required reports to Hoosier Energy; they can simply be sent through EECP, instead of manual reporting. Additionally, Hoosier Energy is now able to wrap energy savings into their DSM portfolio, without having to import any further spreadsheets or reports like they had to before.
