Digital Agency for the Energy Industry

Customer portals, data platforms, and AI solutions for municipal utilities, energy providers, and utility companies. Using AI, we build customized solutions that adapt to your processes — not the other way around.

The energy industry is undergoing a digital transformation amid enormous pressure.

Smart meter rollouts, energy transition regulations, and a liberalized market with growing competition are fundamentally transforming the business. We develop customer portals, data platforms, and AI-powered processes that transform municipal utilities and energy providers from commodity suppliers into digital energy service providers.

YOUR CHALLENGES

What's Holding Back Utility Companies Today

01/ 06
01

Data Access & Fragmented System Landscape

Smart meter data, billing systems (SAP IS-U), CRM, and customer portals provide valuable data — but in isolated silos. Without a central database, there is no 360-degree view of the customer, which is absolutely essential for personalization, churn prevention, and new business models.

02

Smart Meter Rollout & Compliance

SMGW data must be processed in real time and made transparently accessible to end customers. Regulatory requirements are increasing — while IT resources are scarce.

03

Pressure to Switch Providers in a Liberalized Market

Comparison websites and new digital players are increasing price pressure. Municipal utilities are losing loyal customers due to a lack of self-service options and a reactive sales approach rather than proactive customer engagement.

04

New Business Areas: E-Mobility, Solar Power, Heating

The transition from a utility company to a local energy service provider requires new digital platforms — for e-mobility offerings, PV contracting, and neighborhood solutions. Scalable infrastructure is lacking.

05

Digital Work & Internal Processes

Employees still frequently use legacy tools, rely on manual coordination, and lack a centralized knowledge base. The absence of digital work environments hinders efficiency and makes it difficult to onboard new professionals.

06

Visibility & Positioning Beyond the Commodity Image

Municipal utilities are fighting against the perception of being faceless providers. Any company that wants to position itself as a modern energy service provider needs a distinctive brand, expert content, and a digital presence — both online and in search results.
