Pinergy has partnered with speciality coffee shop Coffeeangel providing them with the Pinergy Smart Business solution since 2018. Pinergy’s smart energy solution, which has been specifically designed for businesses, provides Coffeeangel with the ability to significantly gain more control over its energy usage and costs across all of their five shops in Dublin.
Founded in 2004, Coffeeangel is one of the pioneers of the Irish speciality coffee scene and continues to lead with an unwavering commitment to improving coffee quality and the best customer service. Karl Purdy, founder of Coffeeangel, and referred to as the “father of the Irish speciality coffee scene” is frequently credited with bringing sophisticated North American coffee culture to Ireland. Coffeeangel now employs 40 people directly and has recently opened its fifth store in the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC).
Commenting on his decision to work with Pinergy, founder Karl Purdy said: “After people, one of our biggest single costs in the business is electricity, as this is required for grinding & brewing coffee, refrigeration, heating & cooling systems and of course lighting. This significant and spiralling cost was practically invisible to the business. Apart from monthly bills, we didn’t have clear optics of our usage patterns or control over our energy management. And with that no insights as to how we could take proactive steps to become more energy-efficient.
With the Pinergy Smart Business solution now integrated across all our operations, we have for the very first time, the ability to monitor our daily electricity consumption. This means we can make nimble and intelligent decisions that not only reduce costs and drive overall efficiency, but more importantly, allow us to be as energy-efficient as possible and reduce our impact on the environment wherever we can.
The smart energy management platform allows me to monitor and compare energy usage and costs across each of our five shops, using clever data analytics and insights gathered on the business every 30 minutes.
Peter Bastable, Chief Commercial Officer at Pinergy commented: “Energy costs represent a significant overhead for businesses such as Coffeeangel and these costs are set to rise even further unless businesses get smart in how they control and manage this vital utility. We are very confident that Pinergy Smart Business can really make a difference in supporting the thousands of businesses out there who could really benefit from the introduction of this smart energy technology to drive operational efficiencies in their business.”
Pinergy help businesses across Ireland rethink their energy to make meaningful changes that have an impact beyond the bottom line.
