The story
How Blue Hippo Laundry stopped chasing retailers
Blue Hippo Laundry is a family owned and operated business, founded in 1999 by Adam Smith. The first Blue Hippo Laundry store was opened in Yarraville and has since expanded to 40+ laundromats.
The challenge
Time management
Businesses don’t have time to review every site every month, and stay on top of every price change.
Retailers don’t value loyalty
Retailers don’t reward loyalty. They look to increase prices to improve profitability the longer you stay with them.
Energy brokers are broken
Energy brokers switch you to the company paying them the highest commission, not the best rate.
What we did
Streamline energy accounts to reduce admin while staying on the lowest prices
Blue Hippo now leverages Termina’s group buying power to stay on the lowest prices automatically while simplifying energy account admin.
No more frustrating calls with energy companies. Every account is managed in one place, with the peace of mind that every account is optimised to the best price possible.

Save costs automatically for every location. One place to manage accounts
- A 350% increase in electricity savings over the first 9 months with Termina.
- A 270% increase in gas savings over 9 months with Termina.
- 10.91% reduction in total gas and electricity costs.
- Automatically avoiding price changes when retailers increase rates.
That’s an additional $24,135 / year beyond the initial savings estimate. Termina continues working after joining.
That’s how Blue Hippo Laundry’s electricity savings increased from $4,345/year to $13,700/ year. Their gas savings increased from $8,690/year to $23,470/year.
Energy in one place
Now that energy data is in one place, the entire organisation can leverage the data. Energy data isn’t siloed with accounts so everyone from property to sustainability can use it for reporting, equipment upgrade modelling and other sustainability initiatives.
“The overwhelming decision was time management with multiple accounts. And getting very frustrated with retailers that go increasing rates...They don’t look after their existing customers, giving their new customers the best plans while leaving us on old ones until we make the effort to contact them.”
