Customer Engagement software for retail energy suppliers
"It's easy to get people to switch suppliers in the first cold call. One click and I can explain to them visually the difference between their current tariff and what I can offer."

Customer engagement for retail electricity suppliers is usually at the beginning of the customer relationship and when things go wrong. And it’s usually done over the phone. An up-to-date utility makes these touchpoints count with seamless zero friction interaction.

Energy savings
Pro-active energy providers reach directly out to customers and teach them how they can save energy in the home. By sharing a screen during the call, the benefits of energy efficiency become visual and more compelling.
Customer acquisition
With CrankWheel, the agent establishes trust by sharing their screen during the first cold call. By doing live calculations on how different tariffs and energy mixes would change by switching over, the prospect can make a better-informed decision on switching over.
Transparency
Most complaints energy consumers make are about their energy bills. The average consumer finds the terminology confusing and it can cause misunderstandings. When customer service reps share their screens with the customer, they are more likely to give a satisfactory explanation to the customer.
Empowered customers
Screen sharing creates transparency. The customer is less likely to feel powerless towards the energy provider which results in increased customer satisfaction and loyalty towards the energy brand.
Marketing renewable energy
The average consumer gets lost in all the terms that are used in relation to new sources of energy. Screen sharing helps you visualize how the consumer can become a prosumer and how renewables affect their bill at the end of the month.
The smart utility
With CrankWheel, you can share your screen to any device and any browser. When a customer needs help with the smart thermostat or setting up an energy-saving device, customer service can easily troubleshoot them by sending visual instructions during the call.
