Pulse

Core Features

Pulse is structured around integrated energy, financial, and emissions management workflows rather than standalone sustainability reporting. Its modules combine operational energy monitoring with carbon accounting and forecasting capabilities intended for organisations managing distributed estates or large utility portfolios.

• Half-hourly energy consumption analysis - The platform analyses interval energy data through comparison charts, heat mapping, and monthly usage reporting, helping organisations identify abnormal consumption trends, inefficiencies, and peak-demand periods across sites.

• Integrated carbon accounting - Pulse tracks Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions within the same environment used for energy management, reducing the need to reconcile separate reporting systems for operational and sustainability data.

• Budgeting and multi-year forecasting tools - The software includes live portfolio budget views and three-year forecasting capabilities that combine historical invoice data with market updates and trading position reports.

• Portfolio-wide energy visibility - Pulse centralises utility information that would otherwise be distributed across spreadsheets, invoices, and email records, providing consolidated monitoring for organisations with multiple facilities or meters.

• Market-informed energy cost monitoring - Users can access real-time market updates and energy procurement insights intended to support purchasing decisions and cost management strategies during volatile utility pricing periods.

• Carbon reduction progress tracking - The platform supports emissions reduction planning by allowing organisations to measure decarbonisation initiatives and assess the projected impact of sustainability projects over time.

Closing Insights

Pulse is frequently positioned by Trident Utilities as part of broader operational and sustainability programmes rather than a standalone carbon reporting product. Several public case studies demonstrate how the platform is used alongside procurement strategy, energy monitoring, and decarbonisation planning.

At ArcelorMittal Kent Wire, Trident combined Pulse with flexible procurement and rebate management workflows to help the manufacturer improve budget visibility and energy risk management. According to the company, the engagement secured a historic refund of £102,700 and identified future savings of £178,700. Pulse was used to provide daily updates on trades, market pricing, and long-term forecasting across a three-year horizon.

Meanwhile, Colchester Institute used Trident’s platform and advisory services to support its Future Net Zero action plan. The organisation reported a 15% reduction in emissions by 2023, while solar installations at its Braintree campus generated more than 109,000 kWh annually and reduced carbon emissions by 47 tonnes per year.

Pricing for Pulse is not publicly disclosed, with access generally handled through demonstrations and consultation-based sales discussions.
