Utility Service App

A multi-tenant, AI-powered utility management platform for water, electricity, gas, cable, and internet providers — with modern billing, payments, outage reporting, and chatbots.

The Utility Service App gives providers a secure, configurable backend and customer-facing app to manage utility accounts, bills, and service incidents. Each tenant can white-label the experience with its own branding, coverage zones, and tariffs while sharing the same core platform and AI services.

Overview

What the Utility Service App does

The Utility Service App connects utility providers and customers through a unified, multi-tenant platform. Customers can sign in with modern auth methods, see their bills, schedule payments, and report issues like outages or leaks. Providers configure services, tariffs, coverage areas, and AI tools from an admin dashboard.

The business problem it solves

Many utility portals are legacy web apps with poor UX, limited automation, and no AI. This app offers a modern, mobile-first experience that reduces support volume, improves payment collection, and gives providers analytics and fraud insights — without building a new stack from scratch for every region.
