Energy & Utillities
The market that energy & utility companies operate in is a mature one and the
consolidation of companies in this industry continues unabated. The ongoing
deregulation in this industry is also resulting in more buying choices for consumers,
resulting in companies having to refocus their business on the needs of these
consumers. This renewed focus on the consumer has made the adoption of CRM solutions
to be an essential component in maintaining revenue and profit growth. Bright Blue has
experience in working with energy and utility companies to implement Siebel CRM
solutions to maximise the value of their customer relationships and drive greater
revenue from each customer interaction. The Siebel CRM application allows energy &
utility companies to:-
- Streamline Customer Care
Enables companies to more efficiently manage inbound service calls involving
billing inquiries and payments, adjustment requests, change of tenancy, and
enrollment, thereby improving first-call resolution rates and customer
satisfaction.
- Optimise Field Service
Helps companies optimise field resources in real time, even when field personnel
are located outside of wireless coverage areas.
- Create and Validate Energy Orders
Streamlines and automates order capture and processing, ensures order accuracy,
reduces order entry training time, allows sales representatives to maximise
margins with custom offers, and provides account representatives with up-selling
and cross-selling recommendations.
- Manage Contract Compliance
Enables utilities to create and execute complex agreements and ensures that delivery
of benefits or execution of charges is driven by customer compliance with contracts.
- Loyalty Management
Providing a scalable, flexible and complete customer loyalty management system.
