Pulse · Fleet electrification platform

One platform for a national school-bus fleet electrification program

A forward-deployed build for a national school-bus fleet operator running a large-scale electrification program. Pulse unifies utility bills, tariff modeling, charger telemetry, depot electrical twins, project scheduling, sustainability reporting, and CRM into one connected data model — collapsing roughly 14 categories of commercial software into a single integrated system, with a modeled estimate on the order of ~$1.7M per year in avoided software-license spend at the client's scale.

Modeled cost-avoidance estimate — Pulse capabilities mapped to comparable commercial SaaS pricing at the client's scale; the range runs roughly $0.8M (lean) to $3.5M (mature). Not a client-quoted or audited figure, and excludes the internal build-and-maintain labor that offsets it.

What Pulse does

Fourteen modules, one data model

Pulse organizes the electrification program around a single unified data model. Every module shares state with every other — a utility bill is the same object to the finance dashboard as it is to the tariff optimizer as it is to the depot digital twin.

Utility bills & rates

  • Bill ingestion & audit — auto-downloads bills, parses them line-by-line (deterministic parsers with LLM/OCR fallback), audits every charge against what was billed.
  • Tariff & rate engine — models TOU, tiered, ratchet, and rider tariffs; re-prices twelve months of usage against every eligible rate to find the cheapest.

EV charging & site engineering

  • Charging analytics — ingests charger telemetry; demand-charge attribution down to the interval that set the peak, off-peak load-shift optimization, charger right-sizing and payback.
  • Digital twin — drag-and-drop depot site editor on satellite imagery, live electrical model, single-line diagrams, and animated power flow.

Program & vendor management

  • Project scheduler — critical-path Gantt with dependencies, resource leveling, earned value, and baselines for the depot buildout program.
  • Task management — kanban with automation for day-to-day execution.
  • CRM — district and stakeholder relationships in one place.
  • Grants & rebates — tracking across dozens of incentive programs.
  • RFP / e-sourcing — vendor workspace with scored evaluations and award memos.

Reporting & platform

  • ESG & carbon — Scope-2 emissions and decarbonization targets rolled up automatically.
  • BI dashboards — executive KPIs across spend, program progress, and impact.
  • Alerts — proactive notifications on anomalies and thresholds.
  • Identity, MFA & RBAC — enterprise auth and role-based access at the platform edge.

Why it matters

The edge is cross-silo integration

Electrification turns quiet diesel depots into multi-megawatt loads with steep demand charges and complex time-of-use rates. Pulse's edge is cross-silo integration — a utility bill gets recomputed against the correct tariff, attributed to the exact charging intervals that drove the peak, mapped onto a live electrical twin of the depot, scheduled against the capital program, and rolled up into carbon reporting and spend dashboards.

Same site, one system. No off-the-shelf bundle connects those dots.

How it's built

AWS-native, vendor-neutral, LLM-augmented

Pulse runs on AWS with a small operational footprint, designed to plug into whatever charger vendors, meter suppliers, and identity providers the client already uses.
