The Problem

Revenue Is Leaking Through Operational Silos

Every unmatched meter read, every stalled move-in order, every manually worked billing exception is money walking out the door.

Disconnected CIS, MDMS & ERP

Billing exceptions that require a human to cross three systems take days, not minutes. The gap between meter data and invoice is where revenue disappears first.

Avg. 10–15 hrs/cycle manual effort

Slow Move-In / Move-Out Processing

Delayed account transitions mean unbilled days, deposit errors, and customer complaints — a compounding revenue and CX problem that scales with your customer count.

First bill delays up to 45 days

Collections Without Intelligence

Generic dunning sequences treat every past-due account the same, burning customer relationships and driving avoidable churn while high-probability payers slip through.

ML targeting lifts collections 50%+

Revenue Leakage at Scale

For a large utility, billing inaccuracies, unbilled consumption, and unrecovered deposits quietly compound to hundreds of millions per year — largely invisible without cross-system analytics.

$100M+ annual leakage (AWWA)

Fragmented Affordability Enrollment

Low-income assistance programs, LIHEAP matching, and rate-case discounts require proactive enrollment outreach — but most utilities still rely on inbound calls and paper forms.

CX churn risk: high-value segment

Audit & Compliance Exposure

Without a unified action log across billing, collections, and field events, rate-case and regulatory reporting requires expensive manual assembly — and creates audit risk at every reconciliation cycle.

Regulatory reporting burden: growing

The StraViso Approach

One Orchestration Layer.
Every Back-Office Trigger, Automated.

StraViso doesn't replace your CIS, MDMS, or ERP. It sits above them as it is over-the-top layer — detecting exceptions, routing actions, dispatching work, and closing the loop with a full audit trail.

AI-Native Billing Exception Clearance

Automated triage and resolution of billing exceptions across CIS, MDMS, and ERP — without a human touching each ticket. Exceptions that used to sit in a queue for days close in hours.

Move-In / Move-Out Workflow Automation

Every account transition triggers an orchestrated sequence: meter verification, deposit logic, first-bill timing, and field service scheduling — coordinated, not clicked through.

ML-Targeted Collections Outreach

Propensity models score every past-due account and route the right intervention — payment plan offer, affordability enrollment, or escalation — improving collections rates by 50%+ while protecting customer relationships.

The Tie That Binds Field & CX Plays

Back-office automation is the foundation layer — once billing and collections are orchestrated, field dispatch and CX workflows connect to the same event stream. One platform, no re-architecture.

By Segment

The Same Problem. Different Assets. One Platform.

Electric distribution, gas T&D, and water utilities each face the same underlying challenge: back-office workflows that span systems no single team owns. StraViso delivers the same orchestration layer to all three.

Electric Distribution

  • AMI interval data exceptions reconciled against CIS billing records automatically
  • DER / net-metering credits verified and applied without manual touch
  • Move-in/out connected to field energization and de-energization dispatch
  • Time-of-use and demand-response rebate enrollment triggered by usage events

Gas T&D

  • Leak-survey follow-up and compliance work orders auto-generated from meter reads
  • Seasonal demand spikes trigger proactive billing communications before disputes arise
  • Service territory additions update CIS and dispatch routing simultaneously
  • Collections targeted by payment history and gas-dependency risk scoring

Water Utilities

  • High-consumption anomalies flagged and routed to customer notice or field verification
  • Affordability program enrollment triggered by usage + payment history signals
  • Move-in/out linked to meter set, read schedule, and first-bill generation
  • AWWA compliance billing accuracy targets tracked and reported automatically
