MDM, built from the ground up for the cloud and the age of AI

DPU replaces legacy MDM infrastructure with a cloud-native platform that runs on your data warehouse — or is fully managed by us. Real-time processing, AI-ready data, and deep utility domain expertise from the team behind Util-Assist.

Core Capabilities

The foundational features that make DPU a modern MDM.

Real-Time Ingestion

Stream meter events directly into your warehouse as they arrive. Full support for IEEE 2030.5, DLMS/COSEM, and all major AMI head-end systems.

Continuous VEE

Validation, Estimation, and Editing runs on millions of intervals per second. Business users configure rules without code and see results immediately.

Cloud-Native, Zero Data Movement

Data stays in your cloud warehouse. No ETL pipelines to build, no copies to reconcile, no governance gaps between systems.

Event Correlation

Correlate outage events, tamper alerts, and voltage excursions across meters, transformers, and feeders in real time.

Pre-Built Integrations

Connectors for major CIS, OMS, GIS, and work management systems. REST APIs, webhooks, and native warehouse sharing for custom workflows.

Full Data Lineage

Track every meter read from head-end to downstream system. Immutable audit trail with complete lineage for regulatory compliance.

Built for the use cases utilities care about

DPU is purpose-built for the operational, financial, and grid planning challenges that utilities face every day.

Billing Accuracy

Continuous validation and deterministic billing calculations eliminate estimation errors and revenue leakage.

  • TOU, demand, and custom rate calculations
  • Automated exception handling
  • Full audit trail from read to bill

Outage Validation

Correlate last-gasp and restoration events across your network to confirm outage boundaries before crews roll.

  • Validate outage scope in seconds
  • Reduce unnecessary truck rolls
  • OMS integration for incident enrichment

Revenue Protection

Real-time pattern analysis flags theft, bypass, and meter anomalies as they occur.

  • Automated anomaly detection
  • Correlated evidence packages
  • Loss quantification for prioritization

Asset Health Monitoring

Monitor transformer loading, voltage quality, and phase imbalance continuously using data already in your warehouse.

  • Identify overloaded assets early
  • Feed data into predictive maintenance
  • Track voltage quality trends

DER & EV Readiness

Native support for bidirectional metering, net energy calculations, and EV charging profiles.

  • IEEE 2030.5 and bidirectional flows
  • Net metering and feed-in tariffs
  • EV load profiling for capacity planning

AI & Grid Analytics

Because meter data is AI-ready from day one, data science and planning teams can query or model it directly in your warehouse.

  • No exports or data requests needed
  • Direct access for BI, ML, and AI models
  • Support dynamic rate design and load forecasting

How it works

DPU sits between your AMI infrastructure and the cloud, processing everything in place and keeping data AI-ready.

SOC 2 Type II certified platform controls
Role-based access control with attribute-level permissions
Immutable audit logs for every data access and transformation

SOC 2 Type II

Independently audited security controls

Encryption

AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit

Data Residency

Data stays in your cloud, your region

RBAC

Fine-grained role-based access control
