With the rise in population, energy demand also increases, and providing the best customer service and the need for digitization is no longer a choice.

RPA Use Cases in Energy & Utilities

We are fortunate enough to state some of our use cases of the Energy & Utilities sector:

Meter Reading Validation

Meter reading is crucial for billing in the Energy & Utilities sector; wrong billing and mistakes can cause distrust between an organization and its customers. Our seamless RPA will reduce the time of validation and error. Furthermore, in case of error detection, the bot can flag the reading and send it for the manual process; this can also reduce workload and increase employee morale of meter reading validators.

Billing and Statements

Many processes like bill generation/billing invoices, cash process, sending billing data to banks, or sending bills to third-party print vendors can be automated. Through Royal Cyber, you can sit back and relax while our RPA delivers fast bill generation, on-time delivery of data, and better reconciliation across different processes.

Payment Reversal/Adjustment Claims

Many customers face issues with wrong payment amounts or invalid data due to third-party intermediaries for bill payments. The customer then claims for incorrect entry, which can be verified by the business strategy or claims team and sent to the operations team for reversal/adjustment in the record. Again, our RPA can resolve issues exponentially.

Complaints Management

With the help of Royal Cyber’s RPA and chatbots+AI, one can reduce complaints resolution with an automated response. If any case needs human intervention, we can route it to the customer center for further action.
