Stanwich Energy Boosts Value with Nectar

"Our partnership with Nectar has fundamentally changed how we serve our clients. We're no longer waiting days for data — we have real-time access to the utility information we need to make smarter decisions and deliver better outcomes." — John O'Connell, CEO, Stanwich Energy

The challenge

The energy brokerage market is more competitive than ever. Clients expect their brokers to go beyond simple rate comparisons and deliver strategic insights that drive real savings. For Stanwich Energy, a growing energy advisory firm, the challenge was clear: to differentiate in a crowded market, they needed access to detailed, accurate utility data — not just summary-level billing totals, but granular consumption patterns, demand profiles, and historical trends that could fuel better procurement decisions and forecasting models.

Manual data collection was consuming valuable analyst time, introducing errors, and limiting the depth of analysis the team could provide. As their client portfolio grew, the gap between what they wanted to deliver and what their data infrastructure could support widened.

The solution

Stanwich Energy partnered with Nectar to gain access to granular utility data with 99.9% accuracy across their entire client portfolio. Nectar's platform connects directly to utility providers, automatically collecting billing and consumption data and parsing it down to individual line items — supply charges, delivery charges, demand readings, and rate structures.

By integrating Nectar's energy management platform into their workflow, the Stanwich team eliminated the manual bottleneck entirely. Data flows continuously into their systems, giving analysts immediate access to the information they need without logging into utility portals or chasing down missing bills.

"The granularity of data we get through Nectar is a game-changer. We can see supply and delivery breakdowns, demand patterns, and rate structures at a level of detail that simply wasn't possible before. It's made our forecasting dramatically more accurate." — Matt Shaw, VP of Operations, Stanwich Energy

The results

The partnership has delivered measurable improvements across Stanwich Energy's operations:

• Real-time reporting — Clients receive up-to-date energy dashboards instead of static monthly summaries, enabling proactive decision-making rather than reactive analysis.
• Detailed consumption reports — Line-item visibility into every utility bill allows the team to identify billing errors, validate rates against contracted terms, and uncover savings opportunities that were previously invisible.
• Stronger market positioning — With deeper data capabilities, Stanwich Energy has differentiated itself from competitors still relying on manual processes and surface-level data. Clients see measurable value in the partnership from day one.

The combination of Stanwich Energy's advisory expertise and Nectar's automated data infrastructure has created a service model that scales without proportional increases in headcount. As the firm takes on new clients, the data foundation is already in place.
