Hugo Energy

Hugo is a UK-based energy management app that connects to smart meters and empowers users to track electricity and gas usage, manage budgets, and purchase carbon offsets. Systango was brought in to scale the platform, enhance performance, and reduce operational costs.
Objectives
As the user base expanded, Hugo needed a more efficient backend, improved onboarding flow, and faster data processing. Ensuring cross-device compatibility, secure data archival, and the ability to support over one million users were top priorities.


Our solution
Systango re-engineered the backend using AWS Lambda and multi-threaded processing, reducing batch job time from 23 hours to 5 minutes. We optimised the Ionic-based frontend, streamlined the onboarding journey, and implemented secure, scalable cloud infrastructure.
