WatchWire by Tango helps customers operationalize energy & sustainability data with Arcadia
WatchWire by Tango’s utility data analytics platform helps customers reach their sustainability and energy management goals. Using Arcadia’s detailed energy data, WatchWire provides valuable insights into carbon emissions, energy optimization, and savings opportunities.
Use case
Simplify and automate the aggregation of energy, water, and waste data to inform customer sustainability strategies and reporting.
Challenge
WatchWire by Tango needed a reliable, comprehensive, and accurate source of energy, water, and waste data to power its utility data analytics platform. Because WatchWire by Tango’s customers use this data in reporting to investors, governing bodies, and their own clients, accuracy was a major factor influencing their decision. Additionally, many of WatchWire by Tango’s customers manage tens of thousands of utility accounts, so they had to find a way to access streamlined energy, water, and waste data at scale.
Solution
Today, WatchWire by Tango leverages Arcadia’s centralized utility data tool to access historical and on-demand energy, water, and waste data across a global network of utility providers. Arcadia makes it easy for WatchWire to connect individual utility accounts and then collect, standardize, and feed energy, water, and waste data into their analytics platform.
Benefits
WatchWire highlights Arcadia’s high-quality and comprehensive energy, water, and waste data as a major factor elevating its platform above others on the market. Arcadia’s seamless utility data connection makes it easier for WatchWire to scale the business as they don’t have to worry about manual data collection and processing for a massive number of utility accounts.
"With Arcadia’s detailed energy, water, and waste data, we can go beyond point-in-time reporting on cost and usage. By incorporating off-peak and on-peak charges, customer charges, demand-related charges, tariffs, taxes, and more, WatchWire by Tango can provide a comprehensive and actionable view of energy and sustainability.”
The story
WatchWire by Tango provides energy and sustainability analytics for organizations in commercial real estate, manufacturing, healthcare, education, and more. While these customers typically begin with simple carbon reporting, the level of insights WatchWire provides demonstrates how energy data can be “operationalized” to guide real change within their organizations.
Watchwire’s customers have ambitious sustainability goals and are required to perform periodic sustainability reporting. Many of them also undergo third-party audits to ensure regulatory compliance. These organizations often manage tens of thousands of utility accounts, making it virtually impossible to aggregate and process energy data through manual efforts.
Today, WatchWire by Tango streamlines this process and ensures reporting accuracy and scalability using Arcadia’s direct access to utility data. Arcadia allows WatchWire by Tango to automate data collection and standardization, providing them the information they need to provide customers with actionable insights that go beyond basic carbon reporting.
Utilizing Arcadia’s historical and ongoing data, WatchWire by Tango monitors usage and cost trends, flagging anomalies like billing errors or when a specific building’s energy usage exceeds a predetermined threshold. These insights also support predictive analytics, helping end users navigate fluctuating energy rates and tariffs, reducing overall energy consumption, and significantly cutting utility costs over time.
