Our clients share their view...
Echo has helped both South West Water and Pennon Water Services to meet a very challenging deadline, ensuring that the distinct Wholesale and Retail businesses were ready for market opening on April 1st 2017. Over the past twelve months we have received, tested and implemented numerous upgrades and enhancements to RapidXtra to ensure effective transaction within the market.
In addition to the challenge of meeting a very rigid timeline, we have had to accommodate an ever evolving market system (CMOS). This has at times introduced issues and uncertainty which required very careful management and close, flexible and collaborative supplier/customer relationships. Echo’s support over this period has been invaluable and much appreciated. We look forward to continuing to work with them to further refine and enhance the market systems and interactions going forward.
Alister Button, information services programme manager, South West Water
It was essential for Welsh Water that our new billing approach would be cost effective, support our ‘customer first’ culture, and feature pre-configured elements that were already proven within UK water customer service operations. However, we weren’t prepared to compromise on key requirements such as increased functionality and an innovative roadmap that would ensure we were able to keep pace with our evolving customer service plans. Echo’s RapidXtra billing and customer care solution met all our requirements, offering not only the scalability we needed up to 1.5 million customers, but also delivering impressive operational savings and the agility to meet our longer-term customer service needs.
Julia Cherrett, managing director, Dwr Cymru Customer Services
We’ve chosen RapidXtra as our billing system primarily because it is ready for competition and the essential functionality required by customers is already in place. At Anglian Water Business we understand that every business is different. We pull out all the stops to provide a quality service, tailored to their exact needs and we know that Echo share this approach in the development of RapidXtra. This makes them the perfect partner as we continue our preparations for market opening.
