Co-creating a Digital Shift toward a Frictionless Utility Customer Experience

Over the past few years, the Energy & Utilities (E&U) sector has been deeply impacted by new entrants offering the latest digital-first products, price increases and caps. The COVID-19 pandemic has added another layer of complexity to the sector’s challenges. These factors are collectively driving customer expectations, investments in distributed generation and alternative energy sources, and the adoption of digital technologies.

WNS works with E&U companies to co-create digital-first customer journeys by implementing low-cost channels such as Webchat, chatbots and asynchronous messaging through our proprietary end-to-end Customer Experience model, WNS EXPIRIUSSM.
