Thank You TEPA, Thank You Texas!
Here are a few takeaways from our visit:
The camaraderie within TEPA is unlike anything we've ever seen. You have so many options for how you'd like your eggs cooked: Sunny Side Up, Hard, Soft, Over Easy, Over Hard. It's mind boggling! There's a tremendous appetite to use technology to improve and evolve your internal systems. More work is needed to technologize an integration between brokers and suppliers (spoiler: we're on it!). A 'restroom' isn't somewhere you go for a rest at all. That famous Texan hospitality is alive and well!

Development Update - February 2023
This month:
This month we're bringing you something a little different for our regular update. You'll see below that there is the usual mix of feature additions and software improvements (more than 15 this month!) but there's also a little something extra.
You'll know that we put a lot of emphasis on improving our core products (Every. Single. Month) but what use would any of it be if we weren't to also offer you the support to fully utilise it?
We view support as being just as important a system as the software itself and we're delighted to announce further investment on this front.
Find out how this addition in support will help you directly, and check out the plethora of other feature enhancements, all in the February Dev Update:
The UtilityClick Support Cat
You may have noticed that we have a UtilityClick cat that pops up around the footer of our website from time to time. Well, now we have the real thing! Please join us in giving our newest Support recruit, Cat a very friendly and warm welcome.
Cat joins us with great experience in app development and quality assurance. She's here to help with any day-to-day queries that you might have and she can be reached with the rest of the support team at support@utilityclick.com. Welcome aboard Cat!
Other bits and bobs...
We've also added the following other bits and bobs...
Email Notifications When "Awaiting Lock In"
When a deal status is changed to “Awaiting Lock-In” an automated email is now sent to the Account Manager and Lead-Generator to notify them that the deal has been submitted to the supplier.
Built for: PRO CRM
General PDF Mapping Improvements
For PDF bills that include such information, we now extract and display: Total KWH, Supplier, Utility, Date Completed, Credit note information and if an invoice is estimated, actual or mixed.
Built for: BILL VAL
User Setting Functionality Extended
Our software allows a user to manage specific settings for their individual profile (User Profile - My Settings). We've extended this to include even more options (dependent on your user level). For instance, it's now possible to enable/disable features such as Meter Lookups and the UC Jukebox on an individual basis.
Built for: PRO CRM
Pozitive Gas and TotalEnergies PDF Mapping
PDF bills supplied by Pozitive Gas and TotalEnergies can now be uploaded through BILL VAL without the need to transfer to a CSV template. We will continue to update BILL VAL to accept many more supplier PDFs over the coming weeks.
Built for: BILL VAL
Restrict Sales Pack Email Notifications
Optional Feature: With this feature turned on only Lead Generators and Account Managers will receive Sales pack email notifications. Useful if your organisation structure requires only those selected user groups to be notified.
Built for: PRO CRM
More accurate logging when amending Supplier Payment Terms
When changing Supplier Payment Terms, users with the requisite privileges can now see an accurate historical log of what they were changed from and what they were changed to.
Built for: PRO CRM
Vendor Agreements Description Shown In Reporting
It has long been possible to add a description when adding a vendor agreement. The contents of this description can now be included in your reporting. Useful if wishing to include bespoke information not usually available within a vendor.
Built for: PRO CRM
Micro Businesses Label Added (Useful for ADR Scheme)
If a Lead or Customer has been set up as a 'Micro Business' then a label is now displayed above the left-hand menu, allowing users to quickly ascertain if it is a Micro Business or not. Additionally, if a Micro Business is Electric or Gas only, then this information is also displayed within the new label.
Built for: PRO CRM
Meter Serial Number Information Retained After Change
Previously if you were to update the Meter Serial Number (MSN) for a given meter, that number would also update when viewing historical reads. You've asked that when viewing historical reads you are shown the MSN at that point in time. Making it a useful tool to see if a meter exchange has occurred.
Built for: PRO CRM
A Restricted Dashboard For Sub-Admins
This new feature allows users with an access level of 'Sub-Admin' to be able to view a restricted version of the dashboard reporting suite. Only data for customers relating to that user will be visible.
Built for: PRO CRM
Improvement to BILL VAL "Invoices" Export
We've improved the functionality and the fields presented when exporting previous Invoices (through BILL VAL). New filters available include 'Batch Creation Date From', 'Batch Creation Date To' and 'Error Type'.
Built for: BILL VAL
Re-Run Previous Exports
We've added a new feature when exporting data via the Analytics module. When viewing current or previous exports ('Analytics' - 'Download Data') you can click the 'Select action' button and choose to 'Re-Export' a previously exported data set, saving you time reselecting the same filters.
Editable Docusign Contracts
Contracts automatically generated through UtilityClick via Docusign are traditionally uneditable. We've amended this so certain fields (Name, Address, Bank, Account No., Sort Code) can be edited by a customer prior to signing, if required.
Built for: PRO CRM
Warning Message If Contract Start Date Differs To Tender Contract
When adding a meter to a tender, a warning message is now displayed if any of the contract start dates are different to the main tender contract start date (from the previous step). If the user chooses to continue, the system will automatically update the tender contract start date to the earliest contract start date set against the meter.
Built for: PRO CRM
That’s it for this month.
Our software evolves at such an exciting rate so please feel free to get in touch to discuss any of the functionality we’ve added since you last saw it. We’ll be more than happy to arrange a demo to show you around!
Development Update - January 2023
Like the morning after a big New Year's party, we've embarked on a lot of tidying up over this last month. Since introducing you all to the new customer portal in the previous edition, this month we've focussed on some of the smaller 'quick wins' that we've had on our 'to-do' list.
There has been a hefty chunk of features added that have come from ideas spawned directly from feedback via our customers, whilst we've also prioritised jobs that will give users a better experience.
Regular readers will know we're big advocates of improving user experience (UX) and two great ways to accomplish this is by 1) increasing speeds and 2) offering better visual feedback when completing an action.
Read on to see how we've looked to achieve this by improving speeds within our BILL VAL reporting and offering better feedback when exporting data. Oh, and there are some other very useful bits and bobs too...
Speed Improvements To Invoice Dashboard
A great feature of the new customer portal is the ability to report BILL VAL results directly to the customer through beautiful reporting. We've upgraded the dataset so that reports now display much faster for your customers.
Built for:
BILL VAL
Data Export UI Improvements
We've made improvements to the user interface when exporting data from our software (Analytics - Export Data). Upon electing to export data you can now see a percentage of completion rate and, if an error occurs, you're now shown a better explanation as to why.
Built for: PRO CRM
Other bits and bobs...
We've also added the following other bits and bobs...
History and Notes Within The Suppliers Module
You can now add bespoke notes and track any historic changes from your team within the Supplier module.
Built for: PRO CRM
ADR Number can now be set by Sub-Brokers
For accounts that employ sub-brokers, you can now allow them to define their own individual ADR number that will then be utilised when generating pricing, LOAs, etc.
Built for: PRO CRM
New Missing Invoice Report
Within the customer portal, we've created a new report showing the last bill in the system according to the current read date.
Built for:
BILL VAL
Retain RFP Decision After Tender Refresh
When initiating a tender it's possible to refresh/resend to any chosen supplier, effectively performing a reset for that supplier on information already returned. We've improved the functionality of this feature to now retain any previous 'request for proposal' decisions already made.
Built for: PRO CRM
Adding Commission Information to Excel Documents
If you choose to display commission information within a quote export, then the following information can now be found when exporting the quote via an Excel document: Total Commission, Annual Commission, Commission Type, and Unit Of Energy.
Built for: PRO CRM
Monthly Budgets Added To ACG Contracts
When generating an ACG contract, the system will now calculate the monthly budget from the annual cost and automatically add it to a customer's monthly direct debit amount.
Built for: PRO CRM
Amend Per-Supplier DocuSign Functionality
Previously only super-admin users were able to amend whether DocuSign integration was enabled per supplier (Supplier - Supplier Setup). With this update, standard Admin users can also now elect to enable the feature per supplier.
Built for: PRO CRM
Update to Customer/Leads Bulk Update Process
Within Admin - Data Imports, you can bulk update leads or customers using a spreadsheet. We've updated the template so you can now include 'Linked To' information for each Customer or Lead.
Built for: PRO CRM
Set Warnings Prior to Contract Generation
Contracting for a supplier is challenging and always evolving. With this latest update, you can enable a bespoke message to appear at the final steps of contract generation; reminding your team of any nuanced criteria that may have been missed.
Built for: PRO CRM
Meter Overview To Use Live Dates or Contract Dates
When viewing meter information for a customer or lead from the meter overview screen, you can now choose whether to display the 'Start / End Dates' of the current and next contract as either the 'Contract Date' or the 'Live Date' (default is 'Contract Date').
Built for: PRO CRM
That’s it for this month.
Our software evolves at such an exciting rate so please feel free to get in touch to discuss any of the functionality we’ve added since you last saw it. We’ll be more than happy to arrange a demo to show you around!

Development Update - November 2022
This month:
As November comes and goes in a flash, we can't help but look towards a big start to 2023. We've been busily adding more and more features to our brand-new customer portal (but we'll save that for our next update!).
This month we bring news of some useful time-saving features that should help reduce those unnecessary admin jobs.
First up it's a big improvement to our activities and calendar integration as no more will you have to manually add or amend an important task within your 365 calendar. Next, there's good news for those wanting to lookup a large number of gas or electric meters, as we introduce the ability to perform bulk lookups.
For these handy time savers and many other useful new features, keep reading for our November Dev Update...
Automatic Calendar Updates Through Office 365
This new feature requires the user to have logged in with their Office 365 account (an optional feature). Any new activity created will then automatically add an entry to the user's default calendar (based on the 'Due Date'). If the activity is edited or deleted, then those amends will also be reflected within the user's Office 365 calendar.
Bulk Meter Lookup
Since launching gas and electric meter lookups earlier this year, we've frequently been asked about the possibility of performing lookups in bulk from a supplied spreadsheet. We're happy to announce that this latest update makes it possible. Please contact your account manager for more information.
Built for:
PRO CRM
Other bits and bobs...
We've also added the following other bits and bobs...
ADR Registration Number Logging
Some suppliers now require confirmation of a TPI's participation in the ADR scheme, not just on setup but every time a contract is submitted. We can now log your ADR participation number within your account so when contracts are submitted, we'll also submit your ADR Registration Number each time too.
Built for:
PRO CRM
Delete Functionality For Team Members
We've added an optional feature so that any user with an access level of 'Team Member' can now delete records (such as Sites, Meters, and Customers).
Built for:
PRO CRM
Pass/Fail Individual Bill Val Checks
Last month we released an update that made it possible to overwrite the batch result of a completed BILL VAL test to either a 'Pass' or 'Failed' state. We've now added the ability to mark any individual bill validation checks within a bulk job (again, either to a 'Pass' or 'Failed' state).
Built for:
BILL VAL
Improved Meter Read Validation
When submitting a meter read, previously our system would check that the read value was higher than the one previously submitted. However, this does not take into account that (as energy meters are limited to a set number of digits) they do at some point ‘clock’ and a lower number read is not necessarily an issue. We've improved the logic with our validation so a lower value will be allowed.
Built for:
PRO CRM
Commission Details With Excel Quotes
In September we brought you news of an optional feature that enabled commission information to be presented within exported PDF quotes. We've now updated this optional feature so exported Excel quotes will include Total Commission, Annual Commission, Commission Type, and the UOM Value. Please contact your account manager for more information.
Built for:
PRO CRM
Instant Quote Meter Lookup Improvements
Previously, when performing a meter lookup within the 'Customer' module, the current supplier, MOP and DC/DA data would all be returned, allowing the user to add this information alongside the customer site information. Within Instant Quote there is no associated customer so this information previously wasn't presented. You've told us that this extra information would still prove useful for reference so now, when performing a lookup within the Instant Quote, the current supplier, MOP and DC/DA is displayed.
Validation Rule: Consumption Tolerance
This new rule is similar to the 'Cost Tolerance' rule added previously but instead focuses on consumption. It enables a percentage tolerance to be set to ensure the average monthly or yearly consumption of a meter does not move outside of a preset level. This can be set on a month-on-month and year-on-year comparison. By default, this value is set to 10% meaning that a validation error is reported when the monthly (or yearly) consumption for this meter exceeds the tolerance in place when compared to the previous comparative period.
Built for:
BILL VAL
Validation Rule: Billed Beyond COT Date
This new rule checks for any meters that are marked as inactive against the corresponding Inactive Date. If any invoice bills beyond this inactive date, it will result as a 'Fail' and the user will be notified that the invoice has billed beyond the Site Inactive date.
Built for:
BILL VAL
Adapt To Any Meter Type Change
Meter types can change over time (e.g. from Economy 7 to Standard), which means the number of unit types can change too (e.g. we may expect to see two rates for Economy 7, but only one for Standard). If you've previously contracted for a meter using one meter type but it has later been changed to another, our system will now record and relay the correct meter and unit type that it was given at the point of the contract or quote being generated.
Built for: PRO CRM
That’s it for this month.
Our software evolves at such an exciting rate so please feel free to get in touch to discuss any of the functionality we’ve added since you last saw it. We’ll be more than happy to arrange a demo to show you around!
Lessen Your Reliance On Commission
It’s clear that the world is changing. Businesses need your help more than ever. Now is your chance to not only uncover the best price for your customers but to offer a comprehensive energy management solution as well.
For some customers, this service might seem a little alien to them, but this is the new world. Biggest savings are now achieved based on how you use your energy.
You can now offer them a service that is simple and effective, with the carrot being a saving on money and helping the planet!
Enter our two robot friends
William&Valerie
(BILL VAL)
With BILL VAL you can tell YOUR customers:
"Don't worry Steve, we'll monitor your bills every month for irregularities and misbilling."
"Janet, You'd be surprised just how many times supplier bills are incorrect. It's well known that as many as one in four invoices have errors!"
"Betty, you can now see all of your energy data in one place with our revolutionary new portal. Beautiful reports and better interaction."
"Bob, we could get you integrated with a data collector such as Stark, Npower, EDF or Siemens and present beautiful reporting of your HH data over any period."
We think BILL VAL is a great product to start offering extra services to your customers. Unlike other bill validation systems, we do not price per meter/invoice validation, which can become incredibly expensive.
With BILL VAL by UtilityClick, you pay one set monthly fee, no matter if you validate one thousand bills or one million. So the more customers you help, the more financial sense it makes!
Are You A Super Supplier Villain?
As an industry, we're surrounded by forward-thinking masterminds and cutting-edge technology but that often stops when communicating with TPIs and direct customers.
This lack of communication often leads to misinterpretation where suppliers are the bad guys.
It's time to turn that idea on its head with a hero of a customer portal...
UtilityClick Can Help You
Our tailor-made software will help present your services like a superhero.
We can offer
You, The Supplier
Your very own white-labelled customer portal. Presented as you whilst discreetly powered by UtilityClick.
Better dialogue with task management tools. Reduce telephone calls, reduce GDPR risky emails and increase efficiency.
Get them hooked and then upsell your additional product offerings.
Empower customers to self-serve and manage renewals.
Boost your DIRECT AND INDIRECT sales channels.
Provide relevant news and reports that will be seen by the right people.
Development Update - October 2022
This month:
Spookily October carried on in much the same way as September with much focus on multiple BILL VAL improvements. You'll see below that we've been working on some great new validation rules as well as a couple of useful administration tools.
Away from BILL VAL there's been much focus on the brand-new customer portal that's been nicely taking shape over these last few months. It's currently being used by selected partners to showcase BILL VAL reporting results to their customers but we'll be showing you exactly what it can do in all its glory, over the coming months.
Elsewhere the regular product updates and improvements that you're used to haven't slowed either. Just take a look below at the multitude of bumper updates we released during the month of October...
Bulk Pass/Fail Button
We've added a 'Bulk' button to enable bulk administration of BILL VAL batches. Within each batch, you now have the ability to "Mark All As Passed" or "Mark All As Failed". You can still review the original passed/failed status of each check when selecting each individual Validation Result.
Built for:
BILL VAL
Meter Lookup Available within Priced+
Meter Lookup has proved a powerful tool and we've had many requests to enable it within our other products outside of PRO CRM and API. We're happy to say that our PRICED+ subscribers can now utilise lookup functionality too. Please contact your account manager if you wish for this feature to be made available.
Built for: PRICED+
Other bits and bobs...
We've also added the following other bits and bobs...
New Validation Rule - Cost Tolerance
This new rule enables a percentage tolerance to be set to ensure the average monthly or yearly cost of a meter does not move outside of a preset level. This can be set on a month-on-month and year-on-year comparison. By default, this value is set to 10% meaning that a validation error is reported when the monthly (or yearly) cost for this meter exceeds the tolerance in place when compared to the previous comparative period.
Built for:
BILL VAL
New Validation Rule - De Minimus VAT Check
The ‘de minimis’ level states that if energy usage falls below a set level then a lower 5% VAT charge must be used. This is regardless of whether the premises is used for business or domestic purposes. We've added a new validation check to adhere to this and ensure that each invoice has been billed to the correct VAT rate based on the de minimis level.
Built for:
BILL VAL
UI Amendments to Invoice Validation pages
We've made a few UI improvements to the Validation pages. You can now see the 'Total kWh' and 'Invoice Date' when viewing the Invoices Overview screen. Cost and VAT rate are also now shown to two decimal places.
Built for:
BILL VAL
Optional Feature - Check against Live Start and End Dates
By default, BILL VAL will validate against the contract start and end date. When enabled, this optional feature will ensure validation against the contract live dates instead.

We've amended the process when adding a new site via Meter Lookup. You can now choose to amend the Site Name directly from the result of any lookup.
Built for: PRO CRM
Telephone & Email added to Activities Export

We've made error reporting improvements so that if an error does occur when bulk importing contract information, then a more accurate description of what line the error occurred on is reported.
Built for: PRO CRM

Smarter "Contract End Date" For Customers and Leads
