If your utility provides services for large commercial, industrial or institutional key accounts, then you’ll be fully aware of the importance of a customer portal solution that satisfies your clients, improves the customer experience, and helps your customers manage and reduce their utility spend.
This is where the addition of a Utility Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Demand Portal Module can transform your utility’s current offering and improve satisfaction levels amongst your customers.
What is a C&I module?
Today’s market dynamics means large companies and organizations are increasingly looking to save money that they can add to their bottom line – and their expenditure on utilities is no different.
These businesses are increasingly demanding that their utility providers – whether in the water, sewerage, electricity, gas or telecom industry – provide state-of-the-art technology that empowers them to monitor their utility usage.
Just like consumers, commercial organizations want to be able to manage and track their energy usage. If your utility can successfully provide them with this opportunity, they will see your business as trustworthy, approachable, transparent and customer focused.
Whether consumption readings are taken from traditional or smart meters, a C&I module will provide commercial companies with in-depth patterns and data into their exact utility usage and how it can be reduced.
How does a Commercial and Industrial Demand Module work?
C&I modules will allow your utility to offer a variety of applications that will greatly improve the customer experience for your key accounts, while helping them to save money at the same time.
Integrations of a C&I module include real-time meter data management (MDM), advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), automatic meter reading (AMR) and operational data store (ODS).
These integrations will give your commercial, industrial and institutional accounts access to interactive charting to clearly see their current utility usage, data downloads to see comparison to old utility usage, reporting, analytics and notifications or alerts that provide real-time usage management updates.
