OATI successfully deployed a comprehensive software platform with Grant County Public Utility District (Grant PUD) to modernize and automate its operational billing, data integration, and market participation capabilities.
Prior to this deployment, Grant PUD faced the critical challenge of needing to launch quickly with an initial single-billing solution setup. By partnering with OATI, the utility successfully generated and completed all six project milestones within a compressed timeframe, laying the groundwork for expanded billing configurations.
Streamlined workflows and automation
The deployment successfully automates several previously manual, labor-intensive workflows:
- Automated data feeds: The OATI webAccounting™ solution has added an interface with Grant PUD’s existing webTrader solution to import Powerdex data.
- Seamless integration: Integration with an existing Grant PUD application to import necessary metering data for use within webAccounting™.
- Future-ready infrastructure: Integration with other OATI solutions has been established and ready to integrate with webSmartOASIS™.
Comprehensive system integration
Grant PUD purchased a complete suite of OATI solutions to unify its operations, including e-Tagging and webAccounting™. This deeply integrated ecosystem ensures seamless data continuity:
- Powerdex data flows directly into webTrader™.
- OATI web services provide connectivity to import e-Tag and webSmartOASIS™ information into the system for advanced billing calculations.
- OATI webAccounting™ leverages its built-in features providing a fully customizable platform for viewing, calculating, and exporting data across systems.
Efficiency and reliability
Grant PUD’s transition minimizes manual reconciliation risks while maximizing billing accuracy. OATI implemented specialized alarms that instantly notify operators of missing data from the previous day, ensuring total data integrity.
Looking ahead
As an existing webTrader™ user, Grant PUD is leveraging this expanded suite to scale its operations. OATI is actively collaborating with Grant PUD to configure additional diverse billing setups, activate advanced system features, and prepare for upcoming project deployments to further enhance market participation readiness.
