Energy & Utilities Roundtable
We'd like to invite you to join us for the afternoon of 6th July at the Victoria Suites in Cardinal Place, followed by a private drinks reception and dining experience.
How the power of data can help the Energy and Utilities sector tackle the challenges of debt management in 2023
According to a recent Experian survey, nearly 30% of UK businesses are stretched, in part, due to the continued high rates of utility bills. Proactive debt management for Energy and Utilities organisations is crucial to business success. How can you use data to improve revenue protection and reduce costs in 2023?
During this event, we will discuss the challenges Energy and Utilities organisations are facing with their existing Debt Management processes. We will share strategies you can implement to see improvements in collections rates within a short timescale. You will get:
- A clear view of the macroeconomic situation and its immediate and longer-term impact on the health of UK businesses.
- How can you early on identify and trace businesses with outstanding debts and/or falling into some form of distress and understand the likelihood of businesses paying.
- Advanced insight to help you utilise multiple data sources and machine learning to support customer management, fraud detection and revenue protection.
By analysing large amounts of data from various reference sources, you can gain valuable insights into your organisation's operations, customers, and markets, which can help you make better-informed decisions and take more effective actions.
Register below. If you have any specific questions/areas you would like to cover during the meeting, please reach out to your account manager.
