Utility Complaint Investigation Automation
Let your AI agent handle tedious complaint reviews—gathering records, analyzing usage trends, and summarizing findings so you resolve cases in minutes, not hours.
You’re stuck toggling between Oracle CC&B, Excel, and Outlook just to validate a single high bill complaint. As a customer service representative, your day is eaten up by digging through billing history, weather archives, and endless emails. Missed details lead to frustrated customers and repeat escalations.
An AI agent that reviews customer utility complaints, analyzes billing, usage, and weather data, and delivers a clear summary for customer service teams.

What this is really costing you
In the utilities industry, customer service reps spend hours each week pulling billing data from Oracle, cross-referencing weather events from NOAA, and checking usage records in Excel to investigate high bill complaints. This manual process is slow, error-prone, and stressful—especially when juggling multiple open cases. Critical details are often missed, leading to unresolved tickets and unhappy customers.
