Case Study

Real-World Success For A
City Owned Utility

Challenged Faced

Manual contract management and reconciliation were slowing performance and increasing errors. Inconsistent Communication and data management of 2 separate systems that needed to be in sync, causing accounting mismatches and other errors.

Implemented Solution

ENSYTE implemented GASTAR to automate the gas supply business, reducing the time needed to manage contracts and the amount of misinputs. Implement an all-in-one solution for Gas Supply and Retail Choice, eliminating mis- communication and data inconsistencies. Integrate accounting directly into the system with direct invoicing and parallel invoices to confirm external accounting software numbers.

Successful Outcome

  • Drastically reduced time input and data management
  • Combined both Gas Supply and Retail choice processes into 1 streamlined system
  • Improved accounting measures to verify invoices internally and externally

“GASTAR fully integrates the entire gas business into one system, including LNG. Our company is Supplier of Last Resort (SOLR), so it’s nice to know how the choice imbalances are affecting the supply business with a streamlined process, especially where SCADA connections are concerned.  All the data is in one place for regulatory filings, not to mention the cost savings for keeping and maintaining one system, training people, and more.”
