Automating and professionalising data flows of 700+ customers.
A stable and scalable data platform that generates reports.
Less workload and more insights for customers.
Covolt manages business energy assets for over 700 companies. A growing customer portfolio brought with it large amounts of data. It was up to Blenddata to make that data work for them. As part of the energy transition, more and more industrial and agricultural companies have assets such as solar panels, charging stations and batteries. Covolt optimises the technical and financial efficiency of energy installations. They unburden customers by managing, optimising and controlling sustainable energy installations with smart software.
Willian van de Sande, operational director of Covolt, says: “We have about 700 customers, all with their own energy landscape that provides data per quarter of an hour or even per minute. We try to give our software customers transparent and clear insight into the results of our services. For example, how much energy a solar installation has generated or how much return has been obtained from a battery by trading on various energy markets. Our existing solution was not sufficiently scalable as we have grown significantly in recent years”
The platform automatically generates reports and makes them visible in the dedicated app for Covolt customers. New data pipelines are also added automatically.
In the dynamic energy market, customers get clear and up-to-date insights on the consumption and efficiency of Covolt services.
A highly stable and scalable data platform. Adding new customers and additional reports is very easy.

Covolt’s data team wants to make big strides when the collaboration with Blenddata begins. The talks were not about data but about business challenges. Willian van de Sande: “Blenddata’s commitment and solution orientation is a big plus. To their credit, they really dived into our business. With a lot of knowledge and expertise, they took us to the next level. Our desire was to eventually do it ourselves, so Blenddata provided training to leave knowledge behind. We now have our own data team that continues to build on their solution.”
Flexible solution that keeps up with price movements. Our customers have invested in a renewable energy plant that they want to get returns from, even when energy prices are unfavourable. We offer a flexible solution that can keep up with price movements in the energy market.”
Based on its core value of transparency, Covolt is keen to share information with customers. They want to know why you make certain decisions and what the results are. The platform built by Blenddata facilitates the generation of reports in Covolt’s Energy Management Software. “Thanks to the platform, customers get the insight we promised them,” he says.
Based on actual data, decisions are made on whether to turn on solar panels or a battery or not. Because Covolt customers want to count on this continuously, Blenddata offers a service contract with a 24-hour response time.
