BIWASE CRM: shared customer records

WETEC AIAuto-summarized by WETEC AI

BIWASE Binh Duong worked with WETEC to replace difficult-to-upgrade legacy software and connect customer, billing, and field-work records on a shared utility CRM platform. The system standardizes customer data dating back to 2000 and supports daily operations across nine branches, serving more than 500,000 accounts. Staff can use shared records to handle new connections, account transfers, and meter maintenance, while office and field teams access the same customer context. The platform also provides more than 200 management and business-reporting functions.

Making customer records available across business systems

A water-utility customer account links a customer or supply point with its meter, contract and service history. When CRM, billing and field-work records are out of sync, staff must check several sources to handle one request. At BIWASE Binh Duong, the legacy software was difficult to upgrade, while records accumulated since 2000 needed to remain useful. The challenge was to standardize those records and connect work across 9 branches on a shared platform.

Challenges to address

Legacy software was outdated and difficult to upgrade or extend.

CRM, billing and related data were not synchronized.

Field teams lacked a mobile app for daily work.

Design a high-performance architecture that is easier to upgrade.

Re-standardize customer data going back to 2000.

How the workflow connects

  1. Find the account. Staff look up customer, meter and service information in the CRM.

  2. Receive the request. A connection, transfer or maintenance request is associated with the correct account.

  3. Process the work. Departments use standardized information to carry out their part of the service.

  4. Track and report. Branches review processing outcomes and compile information for management.

Office and field teams share the same customer context

Customer requests can involve both commercial and technical teams. Shared information gives the receiving team the customer's context and provides field staff with records for their work. Those records remain available for later lookup, maintenance and branch reporting.
