What Fusebox does

Fusebox is a Scottsdale, Arizona-based tech-enabled utility management company, founded in 2014 and operated as a private company powered by Pierce Energy Planning. The company provides a cloud-based platform that aggregates electric, gas, water, and solar utility data and combines it with dedicated human sustainability teams (Senior Sustainability Managers, Client Data Specialists, and Client Data Managers) to help organizations reduce utility costs, identify billing errors, detect leaks, optimize rate plans, and implement behavioral energy conservation programs. Its primary customer base is K-12 school districts, with additional verticals including senior living facilities, healthcare organizations, commercial offices, retail, and homeowners associations. Named customers span multiple states and include Agua Fria Union High School District, Avondale Elementary School District, Paradise Valley Unified School District, Washington Elementary School District, Mesa Public Schools, and others.

The core product is a cloud-based utility management software platform offering automated 24/7 data aggregation from utility providers, a mobile-friendly dashboard with customizable reporting, and a proprietary utility rate calculator that analyzes rate plans across multiple locations. The platform is augmented by four main service modules: Automated Utility Data Management, Solar/Renewable Energy Analysis (including solar and battery monitoring), Energy Management System (EMS) Analysis, and ongoing Energy and Alternative Energy Consulting. Underlying infrastructure is powered by Pierce Energy Planning, which provides energy conservation expertise to public and private sector organizations and forms the operational backbone of Fusebox's offerings.

Fusebox operates on a subscription-based SaaS model combined with professional services, with revenue generated through direct enterprise sales (consultative demos and dedicated project teams) and channel partnerships through purchasing cooperatives including NCPA, Mohave, and 1GPA. Pricing is quote-based and tied to engagement scope (number of locations, meters, and services), and is not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-led by Sue Pierce (Founder and CEO, with 22+ years of government and education consulting) and Scott Pierce (Co-Founder and Vice President of Operations, who joined in 2014). Reported operational metrics include a 98% client retention rate, 500+ locations managed, over 41 million square feet of commercial space under management, $60 million in water and energy assets managed, and over 300 million kWh managed across all industries.
