About Flux Tailor
Achieving sustainability is a complex problem. At Flux Tailor we believe that data access is an important and solvable piece of the puzzle. We want to empower consumers with the data they need to track their environmental bottom line with the same accuracy as their financial bottom line. Access to machine readable data will help people imagine, explore, and participate on the frontiers of clean tech innovation.
Flux Tailor provides information management expertise in utility data exchange to software developers, utilities, data acquisition companies, and Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Solution Providers. The consulting company works with a network of expert collaborators to support software implementation projects and facilitate multi-stakeholder research and development processes.
We are a small consulting company with a large network of collaborators. We like to have action-oriented meetings, save on communication trips, and use online collaboration tools to stay on-topic, manage knowledge, and drive progress.
Our name? Flux = as in “flows” of consumables like energy and water, the “flows” of customer data about these services, and as in the “change” happening in both of these areas. Tailor = as in tailoring the right data flows needed to optimize the flows of consumables, and as in tailoring the process of change.
