Utility Use Cases

What customers actually call about.

Regulated utilities have predictable call patterns and unpredictable surge events. We're built for both.

⚠️

Outage status & ETA

"Is my street out? When will power be back?" Answered against your OMS in real time with current crew status and estimated restoration. Built to stay online through storm-day surge.

Compatible with Oracle NMS, GE PowerOn, and CGI Advantage.

💡

Billing & payment arrangements

Balance questions, equal billing enrolment, low-income program eligibility (LEAP, OESP), payment plans. Answered against your CIS, with structured case creation on escalation.

Designed to remove routine billing calls from the queue.

🏠

Service start / stop / move

Moving, new service, disconnection requests. Verifies identity, captures address and dates, opens the service order in your CIS, no agent required for the routine 80%.

Peak use in May-August (Canadian moving season).

📊

Meter readings & account changes

Self-reported meter reads, name changes, mailing address updates, e-bill enrolment. The long tail of small account admin, fully automated.

Handles non-smart-meter territories gracefully.

Built for the regulator in your jurisdiction.

OEB, AUC, BCUC, CRTC, every provincial utility regulator has specific call-handling expectations. We meet them.

📞 Regulator

OEB & CRTC call-handling aware

Call answer metrics, abandoned rates, complaint handling, all tracked and reportable to provincial regulators. Nothing you report stops being true because an AI took the call.

⛈️ Surge

Storm-day elasticity

Architected for storm-day concurrency. No queues collapsing, no emergency staffing. The AI handles the routine "is my power out" volume so your agents focus on the customers with medical-device concerns.

🚨 Safety

Hard-escalation on safety keywords

Gas smell, downed lines, arcing, water main break. Hard-coded to skip the IVR, skip the AI, go straight to emergency dispatch, regardless of call volume.

💬 Language

Bilingual by default

Canadian French and English. Additional language support for utilities serving diverse customer bases (Mandarin, Punjabi, Arabic, Tagalog).

Hear a power outage report, with a medical-priority escalation.

Storm-event call volume can spike 40x in minutes. The AI holds the line, communicates status, and routes medical-critical customers to a human fast.
