Where: italy
Challenge
In the Utilities world, there is a growing trend to proceed with marketing and commercial initiatives for the sale of VAS content alongside the core offers of commodity gas and power. The competition between Italian utilities operators is increasing, and now transcends the marketing of services and products strictly connected with commodities.

E.ON decided to enter this market, identifying some types of products to support the sale of commodity gas services: Smart Climate Package, Maintenance, Thermostat. Borrowing the experience in the adoption of the VAS offering methodologies from the world of telecommunications and exploiting our skills in the utilities sector, especially in the sales company area, we have created a solution that can meet the customer's business needs.
