Cooperative Networks
A single source of truth for all energy data managed by cooperative networks
Texture is a unified data platform that solves fragmentation challenges for energy cooperatives by creating a single source of truth for all network devices and sites. By integrating with manufacturer APIs, Texture eliminates the need for multiple logins while providing comprehensive visibility across devices, weather data, emissions, and energy metrics. This purpose-built solution for cooperatives offers enterprise-grade security and enables teams to share network insights efficiently within their organization.
The Challenge: Fragmented, Siloed, and Inaccessible Data
Energy cooperatives face significant challenges in managing their networks:
- Multiple logins and device admin accounts: Teams must juggle credentials across different platforms, leading to inefficiencies and security risks.
- No network-level visibility: Lack of a unified dashboard makes it difficult to assess device status, performance, and energy consumption across all sites.
- Limited control: Without a centralized data hub, cooperatives struggle to manage device settings, analyze trends, and optimize energy usage effectively.

The Solution: A Unified Platform for Energy Data Management
Texture eliminates these challenges by providing:
- A single source of truth for each site: Consolidates all device data, including BTM (behind-the-meter) devices, weather, emissions, and other critical energy metrics.
- Network-level views: Enables a comprehensive, real-time understanding of all connected devices across multiple sites.
- Seamless internal data sharing: Teams can securely share network insights within their organization, improving collaboration and operational efficiency.

How It Works: The Technical Magic Behind Texture
Texture seamlessly integrates with manufacturers and cooperative networks to unlock data accessibility and control:
- Manufacturers expose their APIs: Device manufacturers allow their systems to communicate with Texture, ensuring secure, real-time data access.
- Cooperatives enable access via Texture: Instead of managing multiple logins, cooperatives request manufacturers to share credentials and device data through the Texture platform.
This approach streamlines data ingestion, enhances security, and ensures complete transparency across all sites and devices.
