Industries / Utilities

Utilities run on systems that cannot go down.

Electric, water, and gas providers, the municipalities that operate them, and the software vendors that serve them. We work in the systems that sit around the meter: customer information and billing, work and mobile workforce management, and the self-service portal your customers judge you by.

CIS and billing integration Field and office on one record Municipal and vendor experience
Sound familiar?

Three places utility orgs come apart.

The CIS is the system of record, and CRM does not know it

Billing, service points, and account history live in the customer information system. Sales and service work from a partial copy in Salesforce that drifts a little every week, so the two never quite agree in front of a customer.

Two versions of the account

Field work and office work are separate worlds

Crews run on work and mobile workforce management, the office runs on CRM, and the status a customer is calling about lives in whichever system the agent cannot see.

Status nobody can answer

The portal becomes a second source of truth

Self-service gets built as its own application, then quietly diverges from the records staff use. Customers read one number, agents read another, and both are technically correct.

Portal drift
What we build

Around the meter, not just the CRM.

The work that makes Salesforce useful in a utility is mostly work at the seams.

CIS and billing integration

Accounts, premises, service points, meters, and balances synchronized against the billing system with the direction of truth decided per field, and the failure modes designed for before go-live.

Work and mobile workforce management

Service orders, dispatch, and crew status connected to the customer record, so an agent can answer the appointment question without opening a second application.

Customer self-service portals

Experience Cloud portals for start, stop, and transfer of service, outage reporting, billing questions, and program enrollment, reading from the same records staff use rather than a parallel copy.

Service and outage operations

Case routing built for volume days, not average days. Queues, entitlements, and escalation paths that hold up when a storm turns a normal Tuesday into a spike.

Service catalogs and quoting

Rate structures, programs, connection and construction work, and multi-year agreements modeled as a catalog a rep can quote from. See RevOps & Quote Automation.

Reporting a regulator will read

Service levels, response times, program participation, and customer contact history reported from one definition, so the number in the council packet matches the number in the dashboard.

Who we work with

Providers, municipalities, and the vendors behind them.

Utility providers

Electric, water, and gas providers running customer operations alongside a billing system they did not choose and cannot replace this year. We build the Salesforce layer that makes the rest of the stack usable, without pretending the CIS is going away.

Municipalities

Municipal utilities carry a second constraint: public accountability. Council reporting, records requests, and procurement rules make the audit trail as much a deliverable as the workflow. We design for that the same way we design for a bank examiner, which is the standard we came up on.

Utility software vendors

The companies selling customer information, billing, work management, and portal software to this sector. We build the Salesforce side of how they sell, implement, and support their products, and we know the vocabulary before the first call.

Where this connects

Start where the pain is.

If the integration is the problem, that is Integrations. If quoting connections, programs, or multi-year work is the problem, that is RevOps & Quote Automation. If a prior rollout stalled, start with Implementation Recovery. Not in utilities? See all industries.
