Problem
Small and medium-sized businesses often lack the bargaining power of large corporations when negotiating energy tariffs, leaving them with higher electricity and gas costs. Comparing market rates and securing competitive deals is time-consuming and complex, especially for businesses without dedicated energy management resources.
Solution
Tariff Tribe operates an intelligent energy marketplace that aggregates demand by bundling similar businesses together, giving them collective purchasing power comparable to larger corporates. The platform uses AI to analyze each business's unique energy profile and match them with the most competitive tariffs available, rewarding off-peak usage patterns. Tariff Tribe runs supplier auctions where suppliers compete for each contract, with the lowest price winning rather than the highest commission, and businesses can compare their offer against the entire market before switching. The process is fully transparent, with an easy onboarding process that starts with sharing site details or uploading a recent bill.
Target Audience
Primary customers are small and medium-sized businesses in England, Wales, and Scotland seeking cheaper electricity and gas tariffs without the complexity of individual market negotiations, particularly those with smart meters who want to leverage off-peak consumption patterns.
