| | APRIL 201919The Mint mobile field app makes a complex energy efficiency process seem simple. Step into the building, identifying what's there, and let the technology tell you what improvement to make. The data aggregation, analysis, it's all at your fingertipsalgorithm developed by the company. Hancock Software permits using the app in offline mode in addition to tailoring it per the needs of the customer. Lily explains that personalization of the application is essential because of a range of different customer necessities as energy consumption varies from building to building. "We collect structured data rather than gathering piecemeal information of a building," states Lily. Once the data is collected offline, the user can upload it to Hancock Software's Energy Efficiency Cloud, which gives them the data analysis and quality of data they want.The system replaces paper forms and excel data entry with advanced software while enhancing client education in regard to achieving energy efficiency. Facilities that participate in a utility's energy efficiency rebate program know it to be a drawn-out process for incentives to be approved and verified. Hancock Software's cloud services take the struggle away from the utility with validating and approving incentives. Hancock's solution can be used to verify and approve incentives on the go, reducing complications. Lily, a veteran CEO, recounts the story of the State of Louisiana, a customer of Hancock that deployed a solution to manage the state's federal LIHEAP and weatherization programs. In the years leading up to then, the government institution was gathering information by hand to then enter into locally developed systems. These data collection systems offered only limited client-data analysis, had no provision for understanding the demographics of the population served, and could not report historical trends. Hancock Software completed the project on time enabling the client to shorten the delay from the client's application to payment. The mobile app recently introduced new features such as site sketching and drawing. The process to integrate voice commands and controls is on the way. It's easy to tell Lily and her company, Hancock Software Inc., are focused on the future of energy efficiency.
