IDL’s intuitive, web-based WARM software will continue to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of HCDA‘s services to its constituents for many years to come. WARM increases productivity and significantly reduces overhead costs.

La Casa de Esperanza, Inc. (La Casa) was founded in 1966 and, since then, has grown to become the largest provider of weatherization services in the State of Wisconsin. In 2010, IDL Solutions, Inc., an information technology services firm, began working with La Casa to deploy the Weatherization Administration & Reporting Manager (WARM).

In 2009 IDL began working with Couleecap to develop a web application to help manage and automate various business processes for their Weatherization Assistance business. The finished application provides transparency through one-touch, real-time access to all phases of the weatherization process and reduce costs by managing customer records, inventory, equipment, work crews and contractors. More, the system will provide Couleecap a means to report accurate job costs to the State to meet federal regulation. IDL was responsible for the entire development lifecycle of this project, including requirements gathering, development, testing, deployment, and support.
