Nick Boychuk's questions to Tantalus Systems Holding (TGMPF) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Asked for details on the newly added utility customers, the reasons for accelerated TRUSense orders from outside the advisory committee, and how the $5.4 million spent on TRUSense commercialization will be allocated going forward, particularly regarding future costs and sales investment.
Answer
New customers are primarily public power and co-ops, driven by a strong grid modernization message and partnerships with joint action agencies. The rapid adoption of TRUSense by non-advisory utilities is partly due to existing customers upgrading their networks. Of the $5.4M spent on TRUSense development over the last 12 months, $1.5M in external costs will fall off, but a significant portion of those savings will be reinvested into sales and marketing to accelerate growth.
