UTILITIES

Servion solutions help improve collections, streamline operations, automate manual processes and better handle troubleshooting and field service operations.

Overview

The result of industry wide price-cutting, to the level where utilities' prices can scarcely go any lower, is that competition is increasingly based on non-price factors. Industry statistics now indicate that customers emphasize on quick resolution as a priority within customer service. Industry regulators increasingly support this customer stance by imposing financial penalties on utilities that do not meet complaint-handling timelines. Industry figures continue to show high levels of switching and with pressure being exerted on utilities allowed to pre-payment customers, this level is likely to increase.
