About The Project

The idea
OIIO is an iOS and Android native app, backed up by an admin panel, that creates a unique specific offer allowing both SMBs or self-employed individuals and residential users to save money on electricity.
In Spain, electricity supply is provided by oligopolistic companies, so the app analyzes the electricity market to recommend each client the most cost-effective tariff as a personal advisor.
The value
OIIO operates differently from typical comparators, aiming to provide trust. The app stands out by managing data from an unbiased perspective with no vested interest as an energy company. 
The Reganosa team is committed to delivering exceptional solutions for the often-overlooked SME segment, which are typically ignored by marketing campaigns aimed at large corporations.
The client
Reganosa is a multinational energy company based in Spain, with key activities in transforming the energy model and mitigating the effects of climate change, providing services in 24 countries on 4 continents for more than 25 years.
Their digital transformation team approached us to develop an application in aim to foster initiatives in energy efficiency, ecological savings, and fair resource distribution.

The solution

Solution

Since the target audience of the app is essentially the entire set of domains, covering different layers, age groups, and other demographic characteristics of business owners, the experience had to be impeccable.
Therefore, we decided to go with native mobile development for each platform, using Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android.
The issue of utility costs is pressing in Europe, and electricity is no exception, especially for businesses. Analyzing the electricity market can be challenging due to the numerous suppliers in Spain, making expert assistance essential for consumers. Reganosa identified significant growth potential in this area.

Problem
smile
Our task was to implement a custom mathematical algorithm created by the client's team of physicists and engineers.
It analyzes users' consumption patterns and billing history over the past 2 years to identify the best pricing options, providing tailored tariff recommendations with access to a comprehensive database of energy supplier rates.

How does it works

01
After registering in the app, the user provides OIIO with detailed information about their current energy expenses.
02
Once the user is verified and all provided data is processed, OIIO uses an algorithm to offer tailored recommendations.
03
If any suggested cost reduction appeals to the user, they are able to accept it and initiate a change of their current tariff plan.
04
The app then communicates the user's interest to the selected new supplier, streamlining the process.
05
The new supplier reaches out to the user to finalize the switch, ensuring a smooth transition and continuous support.
06
The app autonomously manages contracts with marketers, simplifying the administrative side of energy management for users.

React was selected for the admin panel due to its exceptional capability to efficiently manage a high volume of users and data, ensuring scalability for future growth. Also, it supports real-time data updates 24/7, that's important for the specifics of the app. 
The mobile part is backed by an admin panel – an internal web app accessible only to Reganosa employees. Its primary purpose is user verification and the authentication of the data and documents provided by users through Spanish government services.

Beta testing

Before the MVP release, Reganosa decided to test the app with a select group of SMBs and self-employed individuals, who are often overlooked by other suppliers due to their smaller energy infrastructure. This phase revealed that the average savings for participants was 23%.

In the first few days post-launch, the average savings for users increased to 26%.
It became clear that OIIO attracted interest not only from legal entities but also from individuals, which validated the idea and allowed for a justified expansion of the target audience in future.

Security
To verify the authenticity of the provided documents, users must submit sensitive info such as companies VAT number compilation, ID card validation, and other relevant details.
One of the most important tasks of the SolveIt team was to guarantee user personal data protection by approaching PIN code, biometrics (Face/Touch IDs), and password functions.
