Trillet for utilities

Resolve every customer conversation end‑to‑end

AI that answers every call instantly, handles billing, payment arrangements, outages and service requests — across voice, SMS and chat — with full audit trails and direct action in your systems.

The real challenges in utility customer service

Customers need immediate answers on bills, payment plans, outages and service issues. Contact centres face volume spikes, after-hours demand and limited capacity.

Long hold times and abandoned calls don’t stay internal — they’re the numbers your regulator collects.

This bill’s nearly double last quarter. I can’t pay that in one go.

AI agent

I can see the jump against your last meter read. We can split it — would $85 a fortnight work?

The water meter out the front is leaking — it’s pooling across the driveway.

AI agent

I’ve raised a field job and flagged it as a leak so it goes to the right crew, not general works.

Frequently asked questions

  • Life-safety calls — gas leaks, downed powerlines, major water main breaks — are transferred immediately to your emergency line or on-call operator. The agent identifies the call and hands it straight off; it never attempts to triage or resolve a safety emergency itself. The escalation rules are configured to your existing protocols during onboarding, and the full interaction is preserved in the audit trail.

  • Yes. The agent handles balance enquiries, explains charges and sets up payment plans during the conversation, with the arrangement written directly into your billing system and a complete record kept. Hardship and vulnerable customer conversations are handled consistently, and anything that falls outside your policies is escalated to your team with full context.

  • Answer times and abandoned calls are standard reported service metrics in regulated utility markets. In Australia, energy retailers report the percentage of calls answered within 30 seconds, the average time to answer, and calls abandoned before answering to the AER every quarter. Because the agent answers immediately, every call it handles clears that 30-second mark without queueing. These are reporting indicators rather than penalty thresholds — Trillet improves the number you report, it does not change what you are required to report.

  • Trillet connects directly to the CRM, billing, outage management, telephony and service request systems you already run. Additional systems are connected through your system’s API during onboarding. No parallel systems, no double entry — every action is written into the tools your team already uses.

  • Australian data residency is available, with call recordings, transcripts and backups stored in Australia and in-country LLM hosting on request. On-premise and private cloud deployment are also available for organisations that require the platform to run inside their own environment.
