Your Contact Center Spikes When the Power Goes Out. Your Staffing Shouldn't Have To.

Utilities and energy providers handle predictable high-volume inbound—outages, billing disputes, service requests, moving home—and unpredictable demand spikes when infrastructure fails. Synthesys handles the transactional volume automatically, scales instantly during outage events, and keeps customers informed without overwhelming your agents.

Outage Reporting & Status Updates

Handle inbound outage reports, capture location and contact details, and proactively update affected customers with restoration timelines—at any call volume, instantly.

Billing Enquiries & Payment Arrangements

Answer billing questions, process payment arrangements, and route complex disputes to the right team—without requiring a live agent for every interaction.

Service Requests & Move-In / Move-Out Processing

Handle new connection requests, transfers, and disconnections through guided voice workflows—capturing all required information and pushing it directly to your back-end systems.

Proactive Customer Outreach

Notify customers of planned outages, rate changes, direct debit failures, or debt risk events via outbound voice—before they call you.

Built to Handle Demand Spikes Without a Staffing Crisis

Utility contact centers operate in a difficult environment: steady-state call volumes are already high, but outage events create sudden demand spikes that no staffing model can absorb reliably. Synthesys handles up to 100,000+ concurrent calls—scaling instantly at the moment you need it most—and returns to baseline without the cost of maintaining oversized permanent staffing.

For day-to-day operations, Synthesys automates the high-volume, low-complexity interactions that consume the majority of agent time: balance enquiries, payment plans, outage status, service requests. Integration with your customer management system, billing platform, and field service tools means every automated interaction is as accurate as a live agent call—and every outcome is logged in real time.
