Energy & Utilities AI Apps
Field, customer and asset apps for Australian energy retailers, networks and utilities — safer crews, clearer customers, fewer manual steps.
What we build
Utility software that scales with demand.
Energy and utilities teams balance safety, regulation and customer expectation. We build apps that help on all three fronts.
01 — Customers
Usage insights, outages, billing help and self-service in branded iOS, Android and web apps.
02 — Field
Field Service Apps
Job packs, safety checks, photos and completions that sync from the field.
03 — Assets
Exception-focused views of assets and work, with AI summaries for planners.
04 — Assistants
AI Customer Assistants
Assistants grounded in your tariffs and policies that resolve common queries and escalate cleanly.
05 — Documents
Document & Works Automation
Extract and route data from forms, plans and contractor paperwork.
06 — Integration
CIS & Systems Integration
Connect CIS, OMS, CRM and workforce systems through secure APIs.
The AI slant
Responsible AI for regulated utilities.
Customers get answers faster. Assistants handle routine billing and outage questions with accurate, approved content.
Crews spend less time on admin. Field capture and AI structuring cut re-keying back at the depot.
Planners see exceptions first. AI highlights the jobs and assets that need attention.
Governance baked in. Logging, access controls and Australian hosting options for regulated environments.
