Data engineering & automation

Reliable data infrastructure.

From recurring business reporting to U.S. power-market data, SteadyState Data collects, validates, normalizes and delivers operational data into the systems where it is actually needed.

An unmanaged process, left. A system that operates on its own, right.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Someone manually builds the same report every morning.

  • Important data moves through emailed spreadsheets.

  • Two systems disagree and nobody knows which one is right.

  • A critical integration was written years ago and nobody wants to touch it.

  • A vendor API fails and nobody notices until the business asks where the data went.

  • One employee knows the twelve steps required to make the process work.

These are usually process problems first and software problems second.

We understand the process before we automate it.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Learn how the process works today.

  2. 02

    Design

    Determine what should be automated, changed, or eliminated.

  3. 03

    Build

    Implement the integrations, pipelines, checks, and reporting.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Monitor the system and keep it reliable as the business changes.

Where we started

Born from energy trading data.

SteadyState Data grew out of solving difficult data problems in U.S. power markets.

Energy trading requires continuously collecting, validating, normalizing and storing large amounts of operational data from fragmented sources — ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO, NYISO, ISO-NE and others.

Those same engineering principles apply far beyond energy. Whether the source is ERCOT, an external API, a vendor portal, recurring reports or a legacy database, the objective is the same:

Get the right data where it needs to go, reliably and automatically.

From our ERCOT engineering guides:

From manual process to managed system

Before

Every morning, an employee:

  1. 1.Logs into three vendor systems
  2. 2.Downloads several files
  3. 3.Updates a spreadsheet
  4. 4.Checks totals
  5. 5.Imports results into another system
  6. 6.Emails the completed report

After

A managed process:

  1. 1.Retrieves the source data automatically
  2. 2.Validates each input
  3. 3.Transforms the data
  4. 4.Reconciles expected totals
  5. 5.Loads the destination system
  6. 6.Alerts someone only when something is wrong

The employee stops being the pipeline.

Complex data isn't limited to tech companies.

Our experience includes environments where APIs, databases, spreadsheets, vendor portals, scheduled reports, and operational systems all have to work together reliably.

  • Energy & Renewables

    API integrations and scheduled operational workflows across US electricity markets.

  • Financial Operations

    Movement, validation, and delivery of recurring operational and client reporting data.

  • Industrial & Field Services

    Connecting field systems, scheduling, and back-office reporting that were never built to share data.

  • Business Operations

    Turning manual, spreadsheet-driven processes into systems that run on their own.

  • Vendor & SaaS Integrations

    Building and maintaining the connections between internal systems and outside platforms.

A SteadyState Data service

Need something smaller?

SmallDataPipes is a standardized SteadyState Data service for simple recurring data automation. If you need a report downloaded every morning, an API synchronized to a database, or a recurring manual process automated, SmallDataPipes provides a simpler starting point.

Show us the ugly process.

Spreadsheet, legacy script, vendor portal, undocumented API, manual reconciliation — that's fine. Start with the problem as it exists today.
