ECREEE e-Tender Integration Setup Guide ​

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up the integration between MicroPowerManager (MPM) and the ECREEE e-Tender platform for milestone-based progress tracking and disbursement verification.

Overview ​

The ECREEE e-Tender platform enables transparent management and monitoring of energy project tenders, including milestone validation and payment disbursements.

This integration allows ECREEE e-Tender to securely retrieve transaction and operational data from MicroPowerManager, supporting:

  • Milestone verification
  • Performance-based disbursement
  • Financial transparency
  • Automated reporting

  • Active ECREEE e-Tender bidder account
  • Access to a MicroPowerManager instance with transaction data
  • Admin access to MicroPowerManager to enable the integration plugin
  • Ability to generate API keys in MicroPowerManager

Step 2: Enable ECREEE e-Tender Plugin in MicroPowerManager ​

Before ECREEE e-Tender can access your data, the integration plugin must be enabled in MicroPowerManager.

  1. Log in to your MicroPowerManager instance
  2. Navigate to Settings → Configuration → Plugins
  3. Locate the ECREEE E-Tender plugin
  4. Toggle the plugin ON

Step 3: Generate API Key in MicroPowerManager ​

To allow secure data access:

  1. In MicroPowerManager, go to Settings → API Keys
  2. Click Generate New API Key
  3. Copy and securely store the generated API key

This API key grants access to transaction and operational data.
Do not share it publicly.

Step 5: Verify Integration ​

Once the CRM is created and active:

  1. ECREEE e-Tender will automatically begin retrieving data from MicroPowerManager
  2. Navigate to relevant tender or milestone views
  3. Confirm that transaction and progress data is visible

Data synchronization occurs automatically based on ECREEE e-Tender schedules.

How the Integration Works ​

  1. ECREEE e-Tender securely authenticates using the provided API key
  2. Embedded integration services query MicroPowerManager for:
    • Payment transactions
    • Customer and site references
    • Meter and device identifiers
    • Timestamps and amounts
  3. Retrieved data is used to:
    • Validate milestone completion
    • Support disbursement approvals
    • Enhance reporting and auditability

⚙️ API queries are optimized for performance and reliability.

Troubleshooting ​

  • Confirm the plugin is enabled in MicroPowerManager
  • Ensure the API key is correct and active
  • Verify that transaction data exists in MPM

Authentication Errors ​

  • Regenerate the API key in MicroPowerManager
  • Update the key in ECREEE e-Tender CRM configuration
