Development Update - June 2023

June marks the halfway point of the year and it's a good opportunity to look back at how far we've progressed within the team.

We're certainly stronger given the new additions that we brought you news of in February and May and as you'd expect, we've also progressed well from a software standing too.

This month sees that progress continue across the Atlantic as we further adapt and refine PRO CRM for some of the US variances. With it, we've added new fields such as 'Sales Tax', 'Capacity Tag' and 'Rate Class'. You'll likely have seen the recent news of our expansion stateside and this is just another example of our commitment to better serve our US energy firms.

On other fronts, there's also been great progress with how commissions are applied to contracts through an indirect supplier. No longer will changing the commission rate of an indirect supplier skew past or present contracts. Meaning your forecasts will now be more accurate than ever. Read on to hear about all of this as well as the usual mix of 'Other Bits & Bobs', all in our June dev update...

Additional Customer Fields

We've added two new fields when managing 'Customers'. Firstly the 'Sales Tax Rate' can be recorded as a percentage when adding or editing a 'Location'. Secondly, 'Capacity Tag' has been added when recording usage data under 'Accounts' > 'Account'.

Built for: PRO CRM (USA Only)

Rate Class Lookup

When adding Location Details to a customer or lead, the software will search for the correct Rate Class using the information entered. It's also possible to manually adjust if required.

Built for: PRO CRM (USA Only)

Indirect Supplier Commissions

You'll know that the rate of commission fluctuates considerably with indirect suppliers. As the volume of contracts increases, your rate of commission will often become more favourable.

Because of this, we've rebuilt how commissions are applied when using an indirect supplier to be as flexible as possible. What's more, you can now assign a different rate for each contract on the fly. So if the rate does change, you can easily adapt to ensure all commission information is correct. 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...

Improved Error Messaging For EDF Contract Submissions

We've added better error handling to help you diagnose those annoying upload error messages. When submitting contract information through the EDF API you can see handy hints on what information has been missed and what can be done to successfully submit the correct information.

Built for: PRO CRMPRICED+

Referral Partner Search Filter For Leads & Customers

We've added a new search filter within the 'Customers' and 'Leads' modules. You can now drill down to a contact or lead using a 'Referral Partner'.

Built for: PRO CRM

Bulk Uploading Of Notes

We've made it possible to import multiple notes for multiple customers when bulk importing customer information via a spreadsheet.

Built for: PRO CRM

Npower EDI Mapping

EDI bills supplied by Npower can now be uploaded through BILL VAL without the need to transfer to a CSV template.

Built for:
BILL VAL

Parent/Child Visibility Within the Customer Portal

We're getting ready to release a 'phase 1' of updates for Parent/Child Visibility within the customer portal. This update will bring an optional 'Infant Managers' feature that will allow you to define which child or parent is visible for each user of the customer portal. If a customer has been assigned visibility of multiple child accounts, they will also have the option to select which account to view (via a dropdown). Watch this space as we plan to expand on parent/child admin features soon.

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 - May 2023

The month of May has been a particularly HUGE one within the dev team. It's been a big month for feature improvements but HUGER still, we've welcomed three new faces to our team.

Will has joined us as Engineering Manager and is here to help streamline our processes and manage all of our future feature releases. Whilst we've also welcomed Ermir and Kristi who have both joined as .NET developers.

As you might expect they've dived head first into code and their first job has been to help set up accounts for some of our newest customers. We can't wait to show you what else we have planned with their assistance, as we progress through the year.

Elsewhere on the team, we've been working on a big BILL VAL rollout and an improvement to PRO CRM's 'Customer References' tool. Read on to hear about this as well as the usual mix of 'Other Bits & Bobs', all in our May dev update...

Bumper BILL VAL Feature Improvements

Smart Matching to Active Meters

If duplicate meter numbers are found under different customers, BILL VAL will now use smart logic (based on the meters' active status) to match the intended customer.

Filter By Batch Name

You can now export invoices within the system ('Analytics > Export Data > Invoices') filtered by Batch Name.

New Columns Added To The Invoices Section

Within the 'Customers > Meters > Invoices' section, you can now see Billing Period, Total Consumption and the cost before and after VAT is applied.

EDF PDF Parsing Improvements

We've made improvements to the parsing of data from an uploaded EDF PDF bill. These updates include more accurate reading of elements such as CCL Cost, Meter Read Type, Day Unit Rate and Night Unit Rate.

Database Speed Improvements

Speed improvements for large batches. We've upgraded the database so customers should now experience a greater speed when processing larger batches.

Built for: BILL VAL

Customer References Revamp

Within 'Customers > Customer References', users have the ability to set references to other modules (e.g. Site, Meter or Contract). These references can be useful for connecting additional data whilst the information can also be recalled using the advanced search when required. With this addition, we've now added the ability for customer references to be created against the customer. This supersedes the 'Customer Reference' field previously found in 'Customer > Customer Details'.

Built for: PRO CRMBILL VAL

Other bits and bobs...

We've also added the following other bits and bobs...

British Gas PDF Parsing

PDF bills supplied by British Gas can now be uploaded through BILL VAL without the need to transfer to a CSV template. As mentioned previously, we'll continue to update BILL VAL to accept many more supplier PDFs.

Built for: BILL VAL

Capacity Type Field

A 'Capacity Type' field has been added to the Bill Validation template so that when bulk importing, users can now choose to include a capacity type for each entry.

Built for: BILL VAL

That’s it for this month.

Development Update - April 2023

Welcome to our dev update for the month of APRIL, or, if we drop the 'R' and the 'L', we could perhaps call it the month of API.

Previously customers have utilised our API to push information from our software through to other systems such as external reporting or a non-energy-specific CRM.

Our latest release sees a long-awaited upgrade that will now allow data to be pulled from external applications too.

What does this all mean? A 2-way, push/pull API allows for unlimited integration, either with a third-party app or your own custom solution.

Put simply, you can now fully utilise our powerful software however you wish, whether you need UtilityClick to automatically create contracts pulled from a separate internal system or push lead information from UtilityClick to be stored in an off-the-shelf solution like Salesforce.

With this work completed, we'll be integrating with more applications in the near future but for now, read on to hear how the updated API has improved our integration with Tickd, plus there's the usual mix of 'Other Bits & Bobs', all in our April development update...

Enhanced Tickd Integration With 2-Way API

Using the API work mentioned above we have added 2-way functionality for those that utilise the Tickd price comparison tool with our PRO CRM. With this new feature, Tickd can now write to the UtiliyClick system to automatically add customers, and create sites, meters and contracts.

Want to know more? Contact your account manager.

Built for: PRO CRM

Other bits and bobs...

We've also added the following other bits and bobs...

Quote For Non-Limited Companies Through Tickd

When requesting pricing through our connection with Tickd it's mandatory to provide a valid company registration number for it to succeed. This has previously made it tricky to receive quotes via Tickd for non-limited companies. We've added an optional bypass where a user can enter the Company Reg. TE888888 to inform Tikcd that the company is not limited and allow the quote to proceed.

Built for: PRO CRMPRICED

Advanced Sites Search

We've spent time improving our advanced search functionality when looking for site addresses. Previously when searching any site address within the Customers or Leads modules it was necessary to input a fully completed line of address to bring back any results. Now, your search can be as vague as you need and the improved search function will match all relevant sites.

Built for: PRO CRMBILL VAL

Longitude / Latitude Lookup

When a new site address is added we'll now also look up and store the longitude and latitude value for you. This information can then be used by our software to show map and location data where required.

Built for: PRO CRM

Bill Validation UI

We've updated the UI of BILL VAL to include four new tabs to keep track of current and past validations. They comprise of 'Validated', 'Under Query', 'Complete', and 'All'.

Built for:
BILL VAL

Auto-Genenerate Queries

We've added a feature to help manage any failed bill validations and auto-generate tasks to manage a resolution. If a bill validation batch contains one or more failed results, then (within the 'Bill Validation' overview screen) you can now click 'Go' - 'Auto Gen Queries'. A popup will appear to assign a task against the failure, whilst also moving the batch to the 'Under Query' section. The resulting created task will automatically inherit all the necessary information from the report, ready to be actioned by whichever team member is chosen from within the popup.

Built for:
BILL VAL

That’s it for this month.

Thanks Texas and Hello New York!

We brought you news recently of our intention to work more with firms throughout the US. Now, thanks to our recent trip to Texas & TEPA we’re delighted to announce that we’ve signed up one of the biggest brokers, not just in New York but in the entire United States.

We’ll be working with them to help with procurement, commissions and managing their portfolio.

Why are you telling me this?

This may all sound like a humblebrag (and to be honest we are absolutely chuffed by the news) but it’s all part of our focus to drive technology forward in the US energy sector.

We wanted to share the good news and reiterate that we are here to stay. You’ll likely see us pop up again and again over the coming months as we invest more resources here in the US.

Interested in seeing what our software solutions can do for you?

Until next time New York.


Development Update - March 2023

As March came and spring (finally) seemed to have arrived, we really embraced the mantra of 'spring cleaning'. Over the last month, the team has been hard at work to add some useful features that should really help dust down your processes and clean up your workflows.

The pick of which comes in the form of two new additions to PRO CRM: Contract Generation Field Picker and Commission Snapshots.

The former will help give more control over customer contracts that are auto-generated upon a successful quote. Whilst the latter will allow the user to take a snapshot of forecasted commissions at any point in time, to be recalled and reported against at a later date, even if the consumption is revised.

Take a more in-depth look at these two useful new features below (as well as a mixture of 'Other Bits & Bobs'), all in our March development update...

Contract Generation Field Picker

If you're a PRO CRM user you'll know it allows you to initiate tenders and issue contracts for the winning quote. This generated contract will automatically inherit all the information from the quote and prepopulate the data into the relevant fields. A great time saver indeed! But what if for instance you wanted to populate the contract using the billing address instead of the registered address?

Previously it would have required manual editing but that's no longer the case! We've created a smart field picker that will appear when generating a contract that will allow you to swap out any pre-designated elements in the contract with any other information that you hold data on.

Built for: PRO CRM

Commission Snapshots

In most cases, commissions are a fluid commodity. As budget consumption or live dates change, so does the commission.

However, you may want to take a 'Snapshot' of commission to see how things have changed over time. To allow for this, we've introduced an optional feature called 'Commission Snapshots'. Allowing a user to take a snapshot in time of 'Commission' and 'Consumption Forecasts' from either the 'Meter - Commissions' section or from the 'Contract Overview' page.

Talk to your account manager to find out more and to get this feature switched on.

Built for: PRO CRM

Other bits and bobs...

We've also added the following other bits and bobs...

BG Lite, Crown Gas & Power and Shell Energy PDF Mapping

PDF bills supplied by BG Lite, Crown Gas & Power, or Shell Energy can now be uploaded through BILL VAL without the need to transfer to a CSV template. As mentioned previously, we'll continue to update BILL VAL to accept many more supplier PDFs each week.

Built for:
BILL VAL

Support for Miscellaneous Charges for EDF

We've adapted the validation process to now check any additional miscellaneous charges added by the supplier (e.g. 'Agreed Availability Charge', 'Reactive Power Charge', 'Settlement Agency Charge', etc.). This is currently enabled with EDF bills but can be rolled out for other suppliers where appropriate.

Built for:
BILL VAL

Meter Screen - View Contracts By Live Dates or Contract Dates

Within PRO CRM, you can view an overview of all meters/sites associated with a customer or lead. We've added an optional feature to allow you to select how contract dates should be displayed within this overview. Now, the "Current Contract" and "Next Contract" can either use the actual Live Dates or Contract Dates.

Built for: PRO CRM

Downloadable Error Log For Data Imports

If your data is raw then importing it into our software can be a big job, that's why we try and provide as much feedback from a data import perspective as possible. If there's a lot of data then there will potentially be a lot of feedback. We've made that feedback easier to work through by offering the ability to download a full error log of what needs to be fixed in order to upload successfully. Simply click 'Go' - 'Download Error Log' within the Data Import module.

Built for: PRO CRM

Improvement to Tasks in Customer Portal

We've made two small improvements to the Tasks section of the customer portal. Firstly, when a customer raises a new task they automatically have visibility of said task (previously a task wasn't visible to a customer unless switched on from the parent account, even if the customer had created it themselves). Secondly, it's now possible for a customer to add a new task with additional notes attached (previously it was only possible for a customer to create a new task with just the subject field and no further information).

Built for: PRO CRM

New Error Log Export for BILL VAL

A new workbook labelled 'Error' is now included as part of all BILL VAL invoice exports. This new workbook details only validations that have resulted in failures, making it easier to see what needs actioning/addressing.

Built for:
BILL VAL

Small BILL VAL Improvements

We've made a few little tweaks as detailed below:

Batch Reference Name / Invoice Period / Supplier Name / Client Name is now included at the top of the Batch Overview page.

Invoice Actual/Estimate is included on the Batch Overview page and included on the Invoice Details tab.

Total kWh is now pulled through to the Batch Overview page and included on the Invoice Details tab.

Built for:
BILL VAL

API Stats for Priced+ Users

Priced+ users can now keep an easy log on the number of API calls made over any given period by visiting the 'Admin - API Stats' section within their account.

Built for: API

Development Update - February 2023

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...

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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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
