Accelerate core processes for utilities with X4 BPMS
Grid connection process
The right interface for every user
Provide interfaces for all roles involved in the process – customer, employee, or business partner – with the X4 BPMS. Via the X4 Enterprise Service Bus, the interfaces integrate fully with your existing back-end systems, e.g. GIS, ERP or CRM.
- Customer portal: Apply for grid connection, wallbox or photovoltaic system or communicate with the utility company.
- Employee portal: Process applications, create offers and communicate with customers or business partners
- Business partner portal: Accredit partners and edit master data and orders
- Data hub: Create transparency in all data and processes
Benefit from fast implementation thanks to a ready-to-use standard solution for customer portal and installer management.
Redispatch 2.0
Connect all systems and provide plant master data
Via X4 Web Apps, we provide plant operators and deployment managers (EIV) with portals for master data maintenance. With the X4 ESB, we connect the systems involved in the process (NLT, Forecast, Connect+, DA/RE) with each other.
- Customer portal: Maintain plant master data (role EIV and BTR), forward data automatically to relevant systems.
- Employee portal: enrich and check data and forward to DA/RE or Connect+
- Data hub: Import data from MStR, EDM, GIS, etc.
- Controlling: Extensive possibilities with individual dashboards
Use the same data in all systems and make it available in individual portals.
Smart Metering
Connect head-end systems and simplify meter change and billing processes
The X4 BPMS combines your individual systems such as EDM, ERP/CRM, load flow calculation and GIS into an operating platform for smart metering and offers customized interfaces for all process participants.
- Employee portal: clearly display status incl. map for dispatchers and clerks, provide measurement data and parameterize meters.
- Business partner portal: digitize meter change process for installers, offer role-dependent portals, retrieve solution on the move
- Data hub: Archive Big Data time series with X4 Time Series, deliver data for billing, network calculation (low voltage) and network control technology to the ERP system.
Use the possibilities of smart meters e.g. via DLMS, IEC 61850 or a digitized meter change process including offline solution.
