Case Study: MainPower achieves faster, simpler meeting packs and better value with OnBoard Board Management Software

MainPower Chooses OnBoard for Slicker Meeting Pack Preparation, Enhanced Meeting Features, and a Better-value Solution

MainPower, an electricity distributor serving over 41,000 homes and businesses in North Canterbury, needed a simpler, more intuitive board portal to streamline monthly board, executive and committee meeting pack preparation. Preparing packs previously took Board Secretary Maria O’Neill at least a day, and directors wanted a solution that worked easily on any device. MainPower selected OnBoard Board Management Software after a robust evaluation for its usability and value.

OnBoard Board Management Software was implemented within two months and replaced cumbersome workflows with built‑in agenda building, drag‑and‑drop ordering, support for any file format (no PDF conversion), calendar sync, automatic pack‑ready notifications, and cloud hosting. The result: meeting pack preparation is much faster, papers open almost instantly during meetings, directors were productive after just 10–15 minutes of training, and automation freed Maria to focus more on executive support.
