Building on a successful partnership
In 2020, Good Energy licensed Kraken to support their retail business, a partnership that helped them embrace the power of AI to speed up responses to customers, launch innovative new products, and ultimately achieve an excellent customer service scores on Trustpilot.
They wanted to offer the same great service to their business customers, and overcome the challenges they were having serving complex business accounts: poor account visibility, bundled tariffs, complex contract requirements, and a previous solution that required hard-coded changes, which added to service delays.
We've been working with the Kraken software around the Kraken team for the last five years with our retail customers. So we had built up a lot of confidence in the capability, both of the software and of the Kraken team
Fran, Chief Operating Officer
Happier business teams, happier business customers
Kraken has automated a wide range of complex processes for Good Energy’s C&I customer teams. It provides powerful self-serve tools, simplifies tricky contracts and pricing arrangements —including power purchase agreements (PPAs)- while maintaining accurate billing. Good Energy’s agents and account managers get a full, comprehensive view across all accounts. The platform is highly configurable — tariff (rate) changes, for example, now take minutes, not weeks.
Good Energy has also able to unlock more efficient ways of working, breaking down silos, giving teams the ability to quickly complete tasks that would have once taken several specialist teams weeks. Bringing all customers into one unified system has allowed their business and residential teams to work across both account types, helping staff build new skills and opening up more growth opportunities. This, in turn, has reduced operating costs, while enabling a better customer experience than ever before.
Everything is where you logically expect it to be… I’ve been able to complete tasks without requiring guidance notes.

Migrating with ease
Good Energy have been able to maintain, and even improve their service throughout the transformation, maintaining a 95%+ billing performance during migration.
We are very happy with the successful implementation. Along with tracking the migration itself in terms of quantity of accounts migrated, continuity of billing is equally important, and billing percentages haven't suffered. This is testament to the collective efforts from both the Good Energy and Kraken teams involved
