Gopher Zero, a pioneering software startup, is proud to announce the launch of its innovative platform aimed at transforming how small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) progress towards net zero emissions.
Tailored specifically for SMEs, this platform equips businesses to lead their energy futures and commit to sustainability like never before.
Gopher’s software leverages sophisticated algorithms and data analytics to provide SMEs with essential insights and actionable recommendations in three strategic areas: energy efficiency, electric vehicle (EV) integration, and solar investment.
- Identify Energy Savings: Gopher analyses usage patterns to identify optimisation opportunities, helping SMEs cut down on energy wastage.
- Optimise Electric Vehicle Adoption: Gopher provides customised advice for integrating electric vans and setting up charging solutions, simplifying the shift to electric mobility.
- Maximise Solar Investments: With tools to assess the practicality and profitability of solar projects, Gopher empowers SMEs to make knowledgeable choices about adopting solar power based on specific data and consumption habits.
Highlighting the distinct challenges SMEs encounter, Mat Thomson, Co-founder of Gopher, stated, “SMEs face unique challenges and opportunities on their journey towards sustainability,” he said. “The price tags of net zero investments can be off-putting for small businesses but, if you can get the tech working together, the paybacks can be quick”.
Practical examples of how SMEs can drastically cut costs include:
- Charging EVs using surplus solar power or cheaper overnight tariffs can significantly reduce vehicle running costs compared to traditional fuels.
- Small adjustments like appointing an energy champion could help businesses save as much as 20% on their energy expenditures.
Aimed at the UK’s 5 million SMEs, which account for approximately 50% of all business emissions, Gopher’s platform combines technological advice with energy efficiency tips.
Additionally, Gopher’s user-friendly interface assists businesses in navigating the path to net zero, while detailed reports make it straightforward for SMEs to showcase their sustainability initiatives to stakeholders, potential customers, and secure green finance.
