Neople for utilities

No backlog in your inbox anymore. Not even when monthly instalments go up.

A Neople is the digital colleague of your customer service and back office. It explains the monthly instalment and adjusts it, processes moves and meter readings, and prepares the bill. In email and in your own systems. We build, you approve, and our specialists always keep an eye on things.

“I’m moving on 1 November. My meter readings are 001258 and 000412.”
Neople validates the readings, prepares the move and the new monthly instalment, and your agent approves.
01Sound familiar?

Your team spends all day on the same questions. And the inbox still never empties.

Falling NPS

Because customers wait for days

An email reply takes days. Customers call anyway, your team handles the same question twice, and the score drops with it.

5 questions

That keep coming back

Monthly instalment, meter reading, moving, billing and cancelling. Most of your inbox, and the same digging every time.

3 systems

For one answer

CRM, billing and the helpdesk. For every change your agent clicks through several screens, and after the reply it still has to be processed.

02Use cases

The same five questions, over and over. And behind every question a change in a system.

Explaining why the monthly instalment goes up is half the work. The other half is adjusting it, processing the move or correcting the meter reading. That’s where your Neople makes the difference.

01Working in your toolsWork with your Neople in Teams or Slack. They report what they handled, which questions are peaking and what they still need.
02Ask when in doubtAdjusting an instalment outside the rules? Your Neople parks the case and asks a colleague before anything changes.
03Report what they learnIn Neople Studio you see every week what comes in: meter readings, monthly instalments, moves and what your Neople can automate.

Good morning. Last week: 2,310 tickets, 72% handled on my own. Meter readings and monthly instalments were the top two.

Rates change on 1 January. Can someone send the new rate card?

Mark · customer

Hi, my monthly instalment was just raised to €198. Can it go back to €150?

Emma

Emma (Neople) · internal note

Based on usage, €175 fits better. €150 is outside the rules. Ticket parked. @Anna, OK with €175?

Anna · internal note

Back office

Clearing the email inbox

From sorting and preparing a draft reply to a fully handled email. That brings response time down from days to hours.

Explain + act

Explaining and adjusting the monthly instalment

The number 1 question. Your Neople explains why the amount changes, based on usage and rates, and adjusts it within the limits you set.

Explain

End of net metering and feed-in costs

What does 1 January 2027 mean for this customer, with these panels and this contract? An answer per customer situation, not a generic FAQ.

Back office

Processing moves and meter readings

Date, readings, EAN, final bill and new monthly instalment. Your Neople validates the readings and prepares the move end to end.

Back office

Checking and correcting bills

Reviewing annual and final bills, correcting errors and starting the refund. Within the 6 weeks the ACM requires.

Explain + act

Contracts, dynamic pricing and cancelling

Renewing, switching to dynamic, explaining hourly prices and calculating the termination fee under the new rules of the Energy Act.

Back office

Payment arrears following the legal process

Reminders, payment plans and the notification to the municipality, step by step according to the rules. Signs of money worries go straight to your team.

Always a human

Knows when a human is needed

A death, debt counselling or a customer who has had enough. Your Neople recognises it and hands over the conversation, with all the context.

03Integrations

Works with your billing, CRM and market messages

Your Neople reads usage and rates, adjusts the monthly instalment in your billing system and processes the move. Within the limits you set. Is your system not listed? Then we build the integration via API.

From 700 to 2,000 tickets a week, with the same team

HappyBed grew so fast that the inbox held back its growth: customers emailed five times and got the same answer three times. With Neople Anne, the team now translates, suggests and automates the questions that keep coming back. Three people do the work that four used to be too few for.
