Challenge

Centralisation of digital channels

The website relaunch focused on improving the contact and contract conclusion process, including the optimisation of business processes with the integration of third-party software and systems such as SAP. The large number of forms for different issues needed to be able to be created independently by different editors in order to save time and programming effort. To relieve the burden on customer service, the digital options in customer service should be continuously optimised and expanded in order to introduce automated processes and handle frequent enquiries
Solution

Simple contract conclusion

Tariff calculators and order forms for electricity, gas and heat tariffs and now also e-mobility allow users to conclude contracts easily. Contract enquiries are transferred to the customer system via the connected SAP interface. In addition, current product and price information is quickly integrated into the tariff calculators via the API. The integration of a comprehensive form builder brings more independence to the editors' day-to-day work. Using the form builder enables editors to quickly create, edit and publish forms. This speeds up the form creation process considerably compared to manual coding methods. When it came to easing the burden on customer service, the decision was made to integrate the chatbot as an intelligent addition to human customer service.
"With this project, we have established a solid basic digital structure that not only fulfils the current requirements of the market, but also serves as a stable foundation for future developments."
Daniel Jung, Account Director
Results

Relief for customer service

Feeding contract matters directly into SAP enables significantly faster processing as it reduces manual data entry and ensures seamless integration into the SAP system. This helps to achieve efficiency gains and more precise management of contract data. The form builder makes work considerably easier for editors and enables forms to be created and managed efficiently without the need for extensive technical skills. The independent creation of customised forms for contact, services, competitions and campaigns can thus be completed without further programming effort. The chatbot also relieves customer service enormously, as generic customer enquiries can be clarified directly here.
