Powering the Future of
Utility Operations

From field service automation to customer self-service portals — we help utility companies modernise operations, reduce costs, and deliver exceptional customer experiences with Salesforce.

Industry Challenges

The pressures utility companies
face every day

Ageing Infrastructure & Field Complexity

Managing thousands of field assets, work orders, and technicians across vast geographic areas with legacy systems that can't keep up with real-time demands.

📊
Rising Customer Expectations

Customers now expect real-time outage updates, digital self-service, and personalised communication — the same experience they get from tech companies.

🌱
Sustainability & Regulatory Pressure

Increasing pressure to meet net-zero targets, comply with evolving energy regulations, and report on sustainability metrics in real time.

🔄
Disconnected Systems & Data Silos

Billing, CRM, field operations, and asset management running on separate platforms — making a unified customer view nearly impossible to achieve.

🛡️
Outage Response & Grid Resilience

Coordinating rapid outage response across multiple teams, contractors, and regions while keeping customers informed and regulators satisfied.

💰
Cost Pressure & Workforce Efficiency

Doing more with less — reducing operational costs while maintaining service quality as workforce sizes change and skilled technician shortages grow.

Case Study • Utilities

How a Regional Energy Provider Transformed Field Operations with Salesforce FSL

A mid-sized regional electricity distributor was managing 400+ field technicians using spreadsheets and phone calls. Scheduling was manual, technician utilisation was below 60%, and customers had no visibility into when engineers would arrive — leading to thousands of complaint calls every month.

We deployed Salesforce Field Service Lightning with a custom mobile app, intelligent scheduling engine, and an Experience Cloud portal for real-time customer updates. Within 6 months, the transformation was measurable.
