Fabriq

Accessible and valuable- both the platform and team behind it

Comments: The platform has been particularly invaluable to us during COVID-19. Now more than ever our clients are keen to get a hold of their utility consumption and require daily immediate support from our team - being able to access energy data remotely makes this difficult period all the more easier.

Pros:

I use Fabriq as both a self-service data platform for my clients and a daily analytical tool for myself. The intuitive system enables me to gain insight into my client's utility usage and optimise their building performance and energy consumption. A range of clear visuals empowers me to be able to quickly respond to client queries which is useful in a fast-paced working environment. These visuals can be included in automated reports which can be scheduled to send straight from the system, and if needed I am able to extract data from the platform into excel almost immediately to help with more in-depth analysis. The simplicity and easy functionality means demo's for new users can be given by myself in short time frames and provide users with different levels of access. This is greatly beneficial to me as I then have more time available to focus on other tasks. The Fabriq customer support team always answer any issues or queries I have in a prompt, friendly manner. Regular catch-ups with the wider Fabriq team makes us feel valued and consulted in the continual developments to the system.

Cons:

On the analytics tab - adjusting the data range selection and deselecting meters can be a little clunky, but as with any platform these are small quirks that I have learnt to get used to as opposed to issues that block me from being able to carry out my job.

Makes my job a lot easier.

Pros:

The intuitive UI for the platform makes it so simple to demo and give access to new users without having to spend hours training them. The range of visuals that you can put into reports makes displaying data clean and the new flexibility of the reporting scheduling has just increased the capabilities. The ability to give access to as many users as you want, at different access levels, without incurring extra costs is a huge plus for a growing business.

Cons:

The only problems I can think of are the struggle with retrieving data from the API and price per data connector.

SPIE Energy Software

Comments: Fabriq are a business that offers support and advise on how best to set up and display energy data.
We now have a energy platform that can be used to support our energy performance contracts and offers our clients easily access to reports and energy data which is also scaleable to use across multi site clients.

Pros:

Fabriq offers a platform that can be easily configurable with good graphical representation of the data. A system that allows users to configure the system and make changes as required.

Cons:

We had some initial issues with reporting and the setup of standard client reports which Fabriq are working with us to address. Some of the reports available have to be configured against individual clients which can be time consuming. We also under estimated the time taken to load data into the system and set up the configuration for each customer site.

White-labelling Service Review

Comments: We have subscribed to a complete white-labelling service to enable our customers to gain advantage of utility consumption benchmarking leading to more effective and efficient utility management overall.

Pros:

Mobile version of this software works best for us - Mobile UI is nice and easy to adapt.

Cons:

Desktop version of this software looks overwhelming - Desktop UI could be simplified to look and feel similar to Mobile UI

Excellent energy and general sustainability data tracking software

Comments: EnergyDeck has provided a strong solution to our energy and general sustainability data tracking requirements. We are able to easily capture data from around our sites for Electricity, Fuel, Water, Waste and Transport, and the analytics / reporting tools are very powerful and easy to use. All data is translated into carbon tCO2e and it is easy to switch back and forth between consumption and target measures. EnergyDeck are in the process of upgrading the interface to provide greater ability to track targets, and manage a wider range of sustainability measures. However, the tool as it stands more than meets most requirements, and is particularly powerful in measuring energy - as the name suggests! The service we have experienced is first class, and we would definitely recommend both the software and the support team to anyone.

One solution for all

Comments: I installed Energy Deck for Tate supplier in order to avoid having to use different platforms to get the necessary data and also get away from excel spread sheets. I now have a system which can be accessible from everywhere, really easy to use and I can produce various reports really quickly. it has helped a lot to bring different departments together and get colleagues to understand my role at Tate and our objectives to manage and reduce energy.

A portal which provides a unique service and great support

Comments: I have been using the Energy Deck web portal to record the groups' utilities, travel and transportation usage since 2013. The concept and the portal works well, the specialist team supporting the portal are always ready to support and assist with additional training when requested. I have found the analytical reporting tool excellent when reporting the firms' carbon footprint.

Really helpful

Comments: We asked EnergyDeck to help us with downloading large amounts of data from our account in a particular format and they gave us a quick and effective solution that saved us a lot of time.
