Product Development:
Uncover our secret to great energy saving products
As a team, we are always looking to ways to solve a problem, and by advocating for our customers, we can focus to create a product development roadmap with real impact.
Our company values are key here, and influence our development every day and with every decision.
It’s what drives us to deliver new features like Data Health in Stark ID and become the only Charge Point Operator in the UK who puts EV charging into half-hourly data.
Discover how we put out values into practice to generate energy products that deliver a real solution…
We’re customer-first in our product development
With our in–house team of software engineers and data scientists, we create products which aim to simplify a complex energy data and analytics environment.
The inspiration behind creating Data Health in Stark ID came from the need to give customers a better, proactive way to keep data online.
We listened and responded.
Now our customers have a fast and effortless way to manage meters and data – a first in the energy space.
Angela Hauser, one of our founders, puts it perfectly:
”Listen and give respect to your colleagues at any level within your company. The idea a colleague expresses could be the idea that changes everything.
Angela HauserFounder
Wherever an idea comes from we listen. It could come from customer feedback or our own teams.
What matters is it solves a problem.
We relish taking on a challenge
Being an independent provider of services means we can be brave and take on challenges that others may not be able to.
It’s what drove us to overhaul the Gas MAM space:
- The well-established gas metering market just didn’t have the data accessibility that the electricity market has developed.
We saw that as a real problem, especially as we all work towards a Net Zero future. So in 2017 we became a Gas MAM with a data as the priority - Now we have thousands of deployed Gas MAM assets with daily gas data
- And customers who are finally able to tackle their gas consumption properly
At the heart of it all, we want to provide the best quality energy data to our customers, so if there is a process or service that can help support that, we’ll do it.
Driving Innovation at every step
Innovation is a value we hold in high regard through all levels of the business – from product development to additional services.
Stark Charge is a perfect example of how we anticipate what businesses need.
- We are the only Charge Point Operator in the UK who is also a DC DA – we turn EV charge data into usable 30-minute interval data
- Our data heritage mitigates the impact charging EVs has on a site
- Customers get their existing EV chargers adopted into Stark ID and have usable energy analytics across their sites
We know the lack of EV charge data causes chaos for customers’ energy reporting, so we’ve taken the step to ensure that data remains a priority.
The key is always advocating for our customers to try to solve a problem for real impact.
”Innovation is what sets us apart from our competitors. We are constantly exploring new technologies and approaches to find better ways to solve problems and create value for our customers.
