S9 E10 Smells Like Money: Getting By With A Little Help From Your Friends

The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast

Welcome to the Smells Like Money Podcast where Suzan Chin-Taylor, also known as the DooDoo Diva, explores innovations in utility management. In this episode, she interviewed Glenn Oliver, CEO of H2 Bid, and discussed a platform used by electric and gas utilities that is now available in a format for wastewater and water utilities to help each other with procurement and supply, in particular during times of emergency. The platform also has benefits for pooling procurement for bulk pricing, mutual aid, dispersing of surplus supply or equipment and much more.

It can help in disaster recovery timelines, finding the exact help and supplies needed and from whom, making the job of administration procuring and sourcing during emergencies more time and cost efficient. This in turn can impact credit or bond ratings (listen carefully to Glenn's final comments) as he shares some little-known facts about how disaster preparedness can impact bond ratings.

This episode covered:

Fragmentation in the Water Industry: Glenn addresses how fragmentation hinders information sharing and mutual aid in the water industry.

Mutual Aid: Glenn stresses the importance of mutual aid for utilities during emergencies.

Introducing the Solution: AURSI, by H2 Bid, enhances data sharing among Caribbean water utilities.

Platform Overview: Glenn explains how AURSI facilitates collaboration through cross-referencing infrastructure materials.

Benefits: Suzan and Glenn highlight the platform's efficiency, supply chain management improvements, and resilience advantages.

I hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.
