Utility providers are in a constant crunch to find new efficiencies that will help them save money, and allow their organization to invest in the customer experience (CX). This is part of the ongoing pursuit to improve customer satisfaction.
However, in an industry as mature as the utility sector, finding these efficiencies is no easy feat. That’s why a large number of organizations are turning towards new technology solutions, which would ultimately allow utility companies to streamline operations and better service the end-consumer.
Modern utilities must now automate their processes where possible. Customer requests should be seamlessly shared and transferred between departments to ensure both the day-to-day operational activities, and customer service activities, are completed in an accurate and timely manner.
That’s where smart forms can help automate your internal processes. Unfortunately, however, many utility providers are struggling to understand exactly what smart forms do.
That’s why SilverBlaze has created a new video that explains what exactly our smart forms do and how they can benefit your organization.

Why your utility needs to use smart forms
Your utility receives a large number of customer requests each day. While many of those requests are simple, there is a wide range of complex requests that require more insightful decisions.
Since there are so many decisions that will dictate what information your customers need and which team within your utility will handle the request, your utility’s customer service representatives waste a large amount of time dealing with simple repetitive tasks.
This could involve trying to find the right team to send a request to, chasing a team for the answer to a request and many other tasks that could be easily automated. The result? A simple request can take a few days, or even longer, to complete. Therefore, smart forms aim to achieve the highest level of customer retention and satisfaction, while providing utility companies ease-of-mind knowing that potential customer issues/requests will be directed and solved efficiently.
