Gridmatic Podcast – Retail Engineering – Episode 1
Behind every price quote, contract, and bid sheet at Gridmatic Retail is a small team of software engineers turning manual, error-prone processes into one-click automation. In this episode of The Gridmatic Podcast, Kise Shannon (VP, Sales & Business Development) sits down with Kevin, Remi, and Melody from Gridmatic’s Retail Engineering team in Cupertino to talk about what it actually takes to scale a retail energy business from zero to thousands of customers in two years. They dig into how the team rebuilt meter data processing to go from dozens to thousands of electric meters without slowing pricing down, the dashboard that shifted the team from reactive to proactive, the one-button system that replaced hours of manual broker bid sheets, and the automation that cut historical usage retrieval from three days to under 24 hours. They also talk about where retail engineering goes next, from the data center boom to expanding into new energy markets.
