Powershop . Electricity Retail Platform

Example of Powershop work

www.powershop.co.nz YouDo undertakes the technical development of Powershop, a new energy retailer with a revolutionary Internet based customer service model. Powershop is built using Ruby on Rails and a cost effective, scalable infrastructure.

The talented YouDo team developed the front and back-office functionality of Powershop in a fraction of the time and a fraction of the cost of traditional energy IT solutions. With a real focus on usability, Powershop streamlines back office processes and reduces the overall cost of provision.

Powershop is developed using agile processes, test-driven development, continuous integration, fully automated testing, and automated builds. This affords Powershop faster development times and reduced risk; resulting in a regular release cycle that helps them stay ahead of the competition.

The proto-cycling of the solution has worked very well for us as the client rather than a load of arse-protecting, over-specified requirements documentation. Jim Barrett  (Head of Operations, Powershop)
