Combining public and private sector data to save millions

Solutions for the utilities sector

A lack of accurate customer data and verification processes have created a number of challenges for the utility sector. With social responsibility, regulation compliance and customer management, the need to truly understand a customer has never been more important.

Unidentified void properties and inaccurately applied social tariffs are two challenges that cost utility companies millions each year.

We provide a more complete understanding of the customer’s footprint and household composition by combining traditional Credit Reference Agency data with insights from the Cabinet Office’s unique National Fraud Initiative’s (NFI) database.
