Case Study: Meridian Energy achieves greater efficiency and market compliance with YouDo

Meridian Energy builds 10+ custom tools with YouDo over nearly two decades

Meridian Energy, a major New Zealand electricity generator, faced challenges with manual, error-prone processes in its Wholesale team due to the complexity of the local energy market. Prior to engaging the vendor YouDo, the company had difficulties with inflexible developers. YouDo was brought in to develop sophisticated, customized software tools to automate operations and streamline complex tasks like outage scheduling and market trading.

Working as an integrated part of Meridian's team using Agile methods, YouDo designed and delivered over 10 custom applications, including dashboards and forecasting tools. The solution automated manual workflows, leading to faster decision-making and improved operational efficiency; the tools reportedly paid for themselves within months due to the efficiency gains. YouDo's collaboration resulted in enhanced market compliance, seamless system integration, and high user satisfaction, empowering Meridian to maintain its competitive edge.
