For energy utilities and municipal utilities
More applications, same team.
At utilities, the workload grows faster than the team. We automate the routine work between your software: between ERP, archive, specialist software and inbox.
No system change. If there is no suitable interface, we look at other options together with your IT. It runs on your premises or in a data centre in Germany.
30 minutes, free of charge. Afterwards you have a first honest assessment.

municipal companies struggle to fill vacancies. By 2035, baby boomers retiring will make this even harder.
Where things get stuck
Four processes we would start with. For the first two, we show what we have already built. For the others, we say honestly that this is the pattern, not the project.
Purchase requisitions and approvals
The requisition as a form, approval through the chain of line managers, signed digitally and filed in the archive. Everyone can see where a request is.

Data between billing, archive and specialist software
The industry ERP often has no suitable interface for what is needed. In the pilot, we connect it another way, so data no longer has to be copied by hand from one system to the next.

Applications that arrive via portal, email and PDF
Grid connection, commissioning, feed-in customers: applications arrive in every form and have to be checked, completed and entered in the right system. Exactly the pattern we automated for enquiries at a trading company.

Knowledge that retires
Many processes are known only to one person who has been there for years. Once documented and partly automated, the process keeps running after they leave.

From a project: a regional utility
Build the connections once, then one process after another.
Purchase requisitions went round on paper and by email, through several hands. Today the requisition goes digitally through the chain of line managers, is signed digitally and filed in the archive.
Behind it is a central platform with reusable connections to the archive, the signature and the login. We provide the connections, and the utility builds further processes on top of them itself. Next up is the ERP, which has no suitable interface.

the way you want it
Once the first process runs, you decide how to continue. Further processes use the same connections and are added faster. We take care of operation, or we hand everything over to your IT with documentation.
Result
A documented solution that does not depend on us.
