SmartDocs brings extensive experience in public power procurement and finance to the 2026 American Public Power Association (APPA) Business & Financial Conference, helping public power utilities modernize procurement and manage public spend with greater efficiency, visibility, and control.
Public power utilities require more than process automation. Utility organizations must manage complex regulations, competitive sourcing requirements, supplier participation, contracts, approvals, documentation, and accountability for public funds. SmartDocs is built around these requirements, with experience supporting public sector and utility organizations across critical procurement and financial processes.
At Booth #14, attendees can explore how SmartDocs combines GovTech, AI, and intelligent spend management across connected process pillars, including:
Solicitation Management – post, addend, and award competitively.
Procurement Management – streamline requisition to purchase order.
Supplier Management – register, qualify, and monitor vendors.
Contract Management – author, execute, and administer to closeout.
Invoice Management – receipt, match, and approve for payment.
Expense Management – reimburse staff under policy.
Together, these capabilities help public power procurement and finance teams connect processes across the source-to-pay lifecycle, reduce manual work, strengthen oversight, and gain greater visibility into organizational spend.
SmartDocs also brings AI directly into public power procurement and finance workflows. From AI-powered solicitation agents and document intelligence to intelligent automation and spend insights, SmartDocs helps utility teams make faster, more informed decisions while maintaining the transparency, controls, and accountability required in public power.
Visit SmartDocs at Booth #14 at the APPA Business & Financial Conference 2026 to see how AI-powered intelligent spend management can help your utility modernize procurement and make better use of public funds.

DENVER, CO and PITTSBURGH, PA (August 24, 2026) – WATTMORE, Inc, a Colorado- based energy intelligence technology company and Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE) (Eos), America’s leading innovator in designing, manufacturing, and providing zinc- based long-duration energy storage (LDES) systems sourced and manufactured in the United States, today announced a non-exclusive strategic software and hardware collaboration agreement that combines WATTMORE's patented Intellect Operate EMS/PPC/SCADA platform with Eos’ Z3 long-duration energy storage systems.
As part of this agreement, Eos has committed to deploy WATTMORE’s Intellect Operate Energy Management System (EMS) and Power Plant Controller (PPC) for select customer projects and support integration of WATTMORE's EMS platform with Eos' DawnOSTM and Z3 technology. Designed, engineered, and operated by WATTMORE's Denver-based team, the platform combines FEOC- and BABA-compliant hardware with Intellect Operate software to provide a pre-integrated controls option for Eos customers. The collaboration expands the controls ecosystem around Eos’ Z3 systems, helping streamline deployment while supporting Eos' strategy of delivering more complete energy storage solutions around its technology.
“Energy storage systems depend on battery technology, controls, and software working together as a single operating environment,” said Jonathan W. Postal (JW), WATTMORE's Founder and CEO. “Our collaboration with Eos brings together complementary capabilities across those layers, creating a stronger foundation for customers.”
Eos and WATTMORE will integrate Intellect Operate with Eos’ DawnOS and Z3 systems. DawnOS provides battery-level monitoring, control, and optimization for Z3 systems, while WATTMORE's software manages system dispatch, energy optimization, and grid interaction. Completing integration upfront creates a repeatable model and simplified path from project design to deployment.
“Customers are looking for integrated solutions that reduce complexity and simplify deployment,” said Nathan Kroeker, Chief Commercial Officer of Eos. “Eos can interface with a range of energy management systems, and our work with WATTMORE adds another option for customers. As our pipeline continues to grow across utility, data center, microgrid, and other large-scale applications, this integration strengthens our ability to deliver complete energy storage solutions across a growing range of customer applications.”
WATTMORE and Eos have previously partnered on large-scale projects, including most recently a 3 MW/12 MWh energy storage project for the Nebraska utility Lincoln Electric System. The project combined Eos’ Z3 technology and WATTMORE’s controls platform to support grid reliability while establishing the approach and scalability of the integrated solution.
