πŸ“ŠBusiness Analysis

🎯Target Audience

Residential and commercial utility customers seeking a streamlined way to manage their electric, water, and gas services.

⚠️Problem Statement

Utility consumers lack an effective tool to monitor their consumption and manage their accounts, leading to dissatisfaction and increased customer service demands.

πŸ’°Payment Readiness

Regulatory mandates for transparency and customer engagement drive the need for this portal, and consumers are increasingly expecting digital self-service solutions.

🚨Consequences

Failure to implement a modern customer portal could lead to decreased customer satisfaction, higher operational costs due to increased customer service calls, and a loss of competitive edge.

πŸ”Market Alternatives

Current alternatives are outdated customer service hotlines and basic paper billing which do not meet the expectations of today’s tech-savvy consumers.

⭐Unique Selling Proposition

Our customer portal will provide real-time data, seamless user interaction, and modern communication tools, setting us apart from competitors who rely on outdated systems.

πŸ“ˆCustomer Acquisition Strategy

The portal will be marketed through direct email campaigns to existing customers, advertised on our utility bills, and highlighted in community outreach programs to encourage adoption.
