The Challenge
As a grant-funded, pre-profit clean energy company, MicroGrid Networks needed to move fast — especially when competing for first-come, first-served renewable energy grants.
But their team was manually monitoring dozens of grant portals every day, wasting critical time and risking missed funding opportunities. They were spending over $15K/year in labor to maintain this process — and still leaving money on the table.
Missing just one major grant could jeopardize their entire operation.
The Work
We built a lightweight, high-impact automation to do the job for them.
- Deployed Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to monitor and flag grant opportunities in real time
- Eliminated the need for daily manual checks
- Redirected team capacity back to core business operations
In short: we replaced hours of daily admin with a process that never sleeps — and never misses a beat.
The Outcome
Within one week of launching automation, MicroGrid secured a $20 million grant — one they would have missed under the old system.
Cost of automation: $1,600
Previous annual spend: $15,000
Previous result: $7M in grants/year
New result: $20M in a week
They’ve now gone over a year without missing a single opportunity.
What It Meant
MicroGrid traded manual labor for machine precision — and turned a recurring cost into a scalable competitive edge.
480 hours reclaimed. $20M secured. And no more grant roulette.
