How Software Empowers the Utilities & Energy Industry

Utility and energy providers today are working to balance the rising expectations of customers with their own aging infrastructure. When reliable service is essential to keeping critical services running smoothly, this is no easy task. Luckily, modern software is lightening the load immensely.

Simplifying Compliance & Sustainability

One problem plaguing utilities and energy businesses is the need to meet compliance requirements. To ensure services run smoothly and safely, businesses must always stay on top of regulatory practices that are often complex and changing.

Software makes this simple. Connecting your data in one platform streamlines operations so you have all the information you need in one place. Since data is integrated, you get access to rich insights and reporting that make it easy to track requirements per project.

In the case of Univerus Field, you get a real-time view of field works that easily integrates with multiple back-end systems at the same time, connecting mobile works management across your organization.

Moreover, sustainability requirements become a breeze. Real-time data lets you assess and plan. Operators can use predictive analysis to manage energy consumption and stay on track with their sustainability goals.

Connecting Teams and Lowering Costs

When software connects data, it connects teams. Every team member can easily access the information needed on a project’s status and updates. This means less time-consuming communication and lower risk of errors made in the organization process.

And with fewer errors comes lower costs. Providers spend less time correcting mistakes and more time taking on other projects that need attention. Software automates the little tasks so you can focus on what matters: delivering reliable service to your customers.

Univerus Varasset, for example, delivers powerful tools to manage assets, projects, and field operations. Designed for utilities and municipalities, it streamlines workflows and gives leaders the insight they need to make data-driven decisions.

Improving Customer Engagement & Satisfaction

Customers today want thorough transparency and quick response times, and luckily, software makes that communication easier than ever.

Software puts the tools in the customers’ hands, letting them access an integrated system to check their energy consumption data and act accordingly.

Specifically, SmartGridCIS by Univerus is a utility billing and customer information system that enables real-time billing and advanced rate design, which helps utilities maximize their AMI investment and improve operational agility. Customers can use tools to get information on their own and are left with fewer questions for providers.

And utility providers have more time to address the complaints that do arise and ensure customers have the support they need to thrive.

Surpassing Today’s High Standards

Utility and energy services, when integrated with robust management software, can surpass the high expectations of today’s customers. Productivity tools that simplify compliance requirements, integrate teams, lower costs, and put tools in customers’ hands make life easier for both provider and consumer.
