Energy & Utilities

Energy and utilities combine assets that last forty years, regulators who audit the paperwork, customers who think about you only when something is wrong, and a workforce that is mostly in trucks. The organisations handling it well have stopped treating the asset system, the field system and the customer system as three separate worlds.

How We Help

What we deliver for energy & utilities firms.

Connected asset and customer view

Integration between asset or GIS systems and Salesforce so service history, equipment and account finally resolve in one place.

Intelligent field service

Salesforce Field Service with skills-based scheduling, real-time crew visibility, mobile work orders and parts availability built into dispatch.

Program and rebate administration

Structured enrollment, eligibility, approval and payment workflow, with the audit trail generated as a by-product rather than assembled later.

Commercial and industrial sales platform

Pipeline, stakeholder mapping and contract workflow shaped around long-cycle C&I sales rather than transactional stages.

Outage and service communication

Proactive customer communication tied to the actual work order and asset, so what the customer is told matches what the crew is doing.

Contractor management

Experience Cloud for contractor scheduling, certification tracking, safety documentation and work verification.

Common Challenges

What we see in energy & utilities.

The technology and process challenges that come up in nearly every engagement we run in this industry.

Asset data and customer data never meet

The GIS or asset system knows the equipment, the CRM knows the account, and no single view connects them, so nobody can answer what a given customer's service history actually is.

Field work is scheduled against yesterday's picture

Dispatch runs on assumptions about crew location, skill and parts that were true this morning. The cost shows up as repeat truck rolls.

Program and rebate administration is manual

Efficiency programs, rebates and incentives run in spreadsheets, which caps how many can be offered and makes every audit painful.

Commercial and industrial sales run on relationships alone

Large-account energy sales involve long cycles, many stakeholders and contract complexity that generic pipeline stages do not describe.

Regulatory evidence is assembled after the fact

Compliance reporting means somebody reconstructing a year of activity out of several systems. It is slow, and it is fragile.

Contractor networks sit outside the system

Much of the work is done by contractors whose scheduling, certification and safety records live somewhere the utility cannot see in real time.

Regulatory & Compliance Matters

What we navigate in energy & utilities.

Compliance is not a separate workstream, it is embedded in every workflow we deliver. The major frameworks we work within:

NERC CIP

Critical infrastructure protection controls, access evidence and the change records auditors ask for.

FERC Reporting

Transaction and market-participation records supporting federal energy regulatory filings.

PHMSA (Pipeline Safety)

Operator qualification records, inspection evidence and integrity management documentation.

EPA Clean Air Act

Emissions monitoring records, permit conditions and reporting evidence.

State PUC Reporting

Service quality metrics, outage statistics and the program performance data commissions require.

OSHA 1910 (General Industry)

Lockout/tagout, confined space and arc-flash training and incident records.

Signature Service Categories

The major energy & utilities practices our team runs.

Each category represents a deep specialization with dedicated playbooks, accelerators, and experienced consultants.
