What Utilities Can Learn from a High-Growth Tech Transformation
Managing financial operations at a high-growth tech enterprise meant navigating a storm of data—multiple systems, disconnected workflows, and constant complexity. They didn’t need just another dashboard. They needed clarity.
We built FinCoPilot, an AI-powered financial command center that streamlined the entire finance function. It automated reconciliation, improved collections, unlocked real-time cash visibility, and gave leaders more time to think instead of firefight.
That transformation didn’t just change how finance operated. It showed what’s possible when AI, analytics, and intelligent design come together.
Now Imagine That for the Grid
Utilities today face their own storm:
- Aging infrastructure
- Growing DER complexity
- Rising climate risk
- Siloed data systems
- Pressure to decarbonize and digitize
Just like finance, utility operations—both in the back office and in the field—are fragmented, reactive, and inefficient.
But utilities have something finance didn’t: the opportunity to leapfrog. By applying proven learnings from other industries, they can build systems designed for today’s energy transition and tomorrow’s complexity.
CoreInsights – AI-Powered, Grid-Smart, Data-Driven
A Platform That Thinks Like a Utility Operator
Built on proven principles of modularity, AI-native design, and composable architecture, the CoreInsights Utility Analytics Platform acts as a data nerve center for the entire utility operations lifecycle—from generation to meter to customer.
Asset Intelligence
Predict transformer or substation failure using sensor data, maintenance history, and environmental conditions.
Grid Reliability
Forecast outages, dispatch crews intelligently, and model storm scenarios to reduce downtime.
DER Optimization
Forecast behind-the-meter generation and load. Integrate EVs, batteries, and solar with precision.
Wildfire & Weather Risk
Combine satellite, ground, and climate data to proactively score and mitigate fire risk.
Customer & Billing Analytics
Detect billing anomalies, personalize outage communications, and predict churn.
Tailored for Complex Utility Ecosystems
We understand the challenges of multi-utility environments with diverse operating units. CoreInsights supports:
- Federated analytics and benchmarking across utility segments
- Shared data models and reusable data products
- Local autonomy with centralized intelligence and governance
Whether operating independently or in sync, utilities can collaborate and scale using the same intelligent platform.
