UMAX for Distribution Companies
These are challenging times if you’re a distribution company. Besides ensuring a secure and reliable energy supply, at the lowest cost, you need to keep up a routine of installing, repairing and replacing meters, connecting new homes and providing assistance to customers who are moving house and/or changing energy supplier.
At the same time, you have to prepare for important changes in the industry. The existing local infrastructure needs upgrading in order to allow the rollout of smart meters, to facilitate decentralised production and to accommodate all future development needs. This will certainly necessitate substantial investments during difficult economic times in which energy prices and service costs must be kept to a minimum.
Customer processes and network-related processes (connecting, operating & maintaining) are inseparably linked to one another. The project management and service management modules of UMAX generate maximum synergy between the two types of processes.
