The concept for Switch Cube, a mobile power management and hardware solution for small business energy management, was derived through an initial push for customer research and pain identification. As the pain of energy costs and eco-friendly trends in businesses arose, the team found an unmet market need for small business energy management.

Through competitor analysis, mock ups, and prototyping the team found that this unmet market need can derive many solutions by laterally benchmarking with competitor products focused on in home use.

The Switch Cube is the modular and inexpensive solution for small businesses aiming to monitor and conserve energy consumption.  The Switch Cube is registered into the app and entered into the business owner’s database.
