# Documentation

Flatpeak gives your products **real-time access to your customer's actual electricity price**, so they can automatically follow it: running cheaper, and greener.

Connect a customer's tariff once, then read live and forecast prices, schedule energy use around them, and calculate exact costs through a single API, globally.

<Info>
  Key definitions:

  * **Energy Tariff** - The customer's pricing plan for electricity.
  * **Energy Price** - The current cost of electricity at a given moment.
  * **Location** - A physical site where energy is consumed or exported.
  * **Device** - An individual asset (such as an EV charger or battery) you track at a Location.
</Info>

By default, Flatpeak retrieves your customer's tariff in real time by connecting directly to their energy provider account. When a direct integration is not available, Flatpeak combines dynamic market data, proprietary tariff libraries, and manual input to ensure complete global coverage.
