$0 million
paid to Wisconsin residents annually
OVERVIEW
Focus on Energy works with eligible Wisconsin residents and businesses to install energy-efficient and renewable energy projects. But the custom technology it used to administer the program was draining resources. Wipfli helped Focus on Energy implement an all-in-one customer relationship management (CRM) solution to house vital data and track results.
THE CHALLENGE
After several years of growth, data management and processing became inefficient for Focus on Energy to manage. The organization relied on custom, contractor-owned applications and seven different databases. Its tech stack was too expensive and labor-intensive to manage, and custom applications couldn’t scale to match the program’s complexity or growth.
THE APPROACH
Wipfli implemented robust databases and automated workflows to consolidate diverse energy efficiency program metrics into single dashboards.
I’ve been through several implementations in the past, and this was one of the smoothest. Having a good implementation plan and project manager makes a world of difference. Wipfli kept things moving, responded quickly to our questions and was just excellent to work with.
THE RESULTS
Focus on Energy achieved seamless, automated program data tracking, improving visibility for key stakeholders and reducing reporting delays.
