Energy, water and telecom bill recovery under pressure

Massive volumes, complex regulations, vulnerable customers: recovery in energy, water and telecom demands an adapted approach.

Over-indebted households on the rise

The number of households struggling to pay grows every year. Energy, water, telecom: unpaid bills pile up and your teams are overwhelmed by the volume of cases. Simple cases end up in litigation for lack of early follow-up.

Ombudsman referrals up, NPS down

+7.9% referrals to the water ombudsman in 2024, +44% quality disputes at the energy ombudsman, telecom referrals rebounding with fiber migration. Every mishandled debt becomes a complaint. High referral rates damage your NPS and brand image.

Different regulations for each sector

Winter truce (November to March) for energy, Brottes law (water disconnections banned year-round), Préventel for telecom. Each sector has its own deadlines and obligations. A misstep exposes you to penalties.

Rigid billing systems with no smart recovery

Hundreds of thousands of accounts, monthly or bimonthly billing, heterogeneous IT systems. No native multichannel orchestration, no automated qualification of non-payment reasons, no vulnerable customer detection.

GetBill handles your main use cases:

Energy bills Water bills Telecom subscriptions Vulnerable customers
Multichannel scenarios

Progressive reminders, from the first nudge to formal notice

Each step is calibrated to maximize recovery while respecting legal deadlines. White-label means you control the message end to end.
