In today’s deregulated market, newer and more dynamic energy providers are fighting for market share from traditional suppliers. This battle makes energy efficiency, smart home services and innovation key elements to customer acquisition and retention. Whether your company is new or long-established, Voltaware’s home intelligence is ready to drive customer engagement and allow you to monetize through a combination of direct and indirect revenue.

Bring intelligence into the home. Voltaware’s architecture samples high-resolution electricity data from home appliances and delivers a comprehensive energy analysis to your smartphone. This permits customers to manage their energy use and understand everything happening at home. In a world of growing customer expectations, our mobile app monitors your energy consumption in real-time and breaks your electricity bill down to appliance level. In addition, gamification features, such as P2P comparisons, energy predictions and carbon footprint keep your consumers continually satisfied.

How does it work? Voltaware’s cost-effective, compact sensor connects discreetly and seamlessly to any home fuse box where it works day and night, sampling high-resolution data from electrical appliances. Voltaware has built a proprietary machine learning algorithm that automatically recognizes each appliance's electrical signature. This innovation also allows Voltaware to disaggregate smart meter statistics by receiving high resolution data through a CAD (Consumer Access Device) without the need of added sensors. In addition, API open integration and the possibility to white label makes it the only viable solution for utilities, from both an economical and technical point of view, to scale to a large consumer base

Onda Energia in Sicily, Italy is a perfect example. It recently rolled out 2,000 sensors to its customers to engage them. Here is what Onda CEO Luigi Martines is saying: "Our customers do not understand their energy bill, Voltaware changes that. Our consumers reacted very positively to Onda after using the Voltaware powered product." As a result, Onda Energia has now extended its order to 10,000 sensors for Sicily and Sardinia.

Consumers have choices, engaging them means creating better business strategies through relevant customer insight and the opportunity for utilities to shift from commodity to services. Simple to install and economical, utilities can white-label the Voltaware app or integrate its data into their own services. Voltaware’s technology is a win-win value proposition for provider and user. So, is your utility ready to innovate and implement a strategy that involves something new for customers?
