Are you aware of these challenges?

01

Meter-to-cash - manual and laborious

Standardized, automated processes in the meter-to-cash process are mostly dreams of the future. Instead, companies are being held back by enormous operational costs and increasing regulatory requirements.

02

Inefficient and expensive grid management

Energy suppliers often struggle with inefficient grid processes, slow smart meter integration and growing bureaucracy. The consequences are higher costs and delays in grid management.

03

Market communication is stuck

Many utilities are faced with the challenge of efficiently separating market and business processes, implementing legal changes on time and using existing integrations.

04

Too slow and time-consuming - customer communication

Companies also often struggle with inefficient customer communication and high costs for service requests. There is a risk of long processing times and dissatisfied customers - a risk for service quality!
