Carbon Sure (formerly Utility Bridge) is an innovative utilities and energy start-up providing cost-effective, outsourced energy management services for UK businesses.
Extensive experience and research in the energy industry led the ambitious start-up to identify a gap in the market. Consumers and SMEs in the UK were being underserved when it came to energy management.
To meet the demand for accurate and simple bill reconciliation, as well as a better understanding of energy use (down to the socket level), Darren assembled a board, raised funds, and embarked on software product development.
The first version of the product was built by a third party, and the next phase required the software development expertise provided by CCQ.
CCQ leveraged its expertise in both business and technical domains to research and propose a new plan.
We began with an initial consultancy to audit the existing software code and create a technology strategy, with clear recommendations for development.
CCQ then re-coded the product from scratch and added features to meet functional and data visualisation requirements.
A new system was developed, based in part on earlier work, using modern methodologies.
The new Carbon Sure platform has been launched to the market, achieving early success, including capital investment raised.
“ From the first meeting, CCQ’s experience with software projects was clear. Their knowledge of software product development helped scope, scale and keep the project on track. I had a vision for my product but not much knowledge on technology and architecture. The team made sure they understood the requirements and chose the correct, relevant, web technology to employ. I highly recommend working with them ”
