AI chatbot for municipal utilities

Why now

Municipal utilities and energy companies are under pressure from two sides: rising contact volume meets a shortage of qualified service staff. LoyJoy is the European platform for Agentic Customer Service. Unlike generic chatbots, LoyJoy executes processes autonomously, integrates with your billing system and uses BPMN workflows for regulated processes such as GPKE and MaBiS.

● Pressure from two sides.: Rising contact volume from new heating legislation, energy price caps and smart-meter rollout meets a shortage of qualified service staff.
● End-to-end answers.: AI agents resolve recurring requests around meter readings, installments, invoices, tariffs and moves end-to-end.
● Real process execution.: Integration with SAP IS/U and ERP systems. BPMN workflows for regulated processes like GPKE and MaBiS.
