_Challenges
Customized software as the key to long-term success
The expansion of renewable energies is racing ahead – but grids, laws and legacy systems are lagging behind. As a municipal utility or supplier, you are balancing energy supply, returns and climate targets under the constant fire of new political requirements. Your customers expect self-services – whether they are single-meter households or bundled customers – and feed in electricity themselves. The result: a bureaucratic monster of specialist procedures, grid, billing and invoicing systems that slows down processes. We help you to untangle this knot with individual software solutions. With a scalable, tailor-made customer portal on the web and as an app, your systems and data merge into a 360° control center. AI-supported workflows read meter readings, send notifications and generate revenue through upselling or dynamic tariffs. Your major customers receive deep customization and open interfaces, your small consumers a streamlined interface. Integrated security and compliance layers tame regulations – and you gain time for the essentials: a sustainable energy transition.

_Frequently asked questions
FAQ on individual software development for municipal utilities and the energy industry
What self-service functions do customer portals offer for household and bundled customers?
Modern customer portals allow your customers to view their consumption and feed-in data in real time, transmit meter readings digitally, change tariffs and manage bills. Push notifications provide information about faults, grid connections or contract changes, while bundled customers receive clear reports, multi-point management and automated notifications.
What specific AI potential do you see in process automation and customer service?
AI or RAG chatbots take over the initial qualification of your incoming inquiries, provide precise answers around the clock and forward complex cases directly to specialist departments. Automated workflows control grid applications, forecast load profile anomalies and generate compliance reports - significantly reducing service costs, waiting times and error rates - digitalization in the energy industry makes it possible.
Where does SPRYLAB see the greatest AI potential for municipal utilities and energy suppliers?
In intelligent grid operation and the forecasting of consumption and feed-in data: AI creates real-time load forecasts, optimizes dynamic tariff control and enables predictive maintenance for grid infrastructure. This increases grid stability while reducing operating costs.
Which technologies do you use in the development of customer portals?
We rely on modern front-end frameworks (e.g. React, Angular) and microservices architectures - orchestrated via Docker/Kubernetes. Backends are based on Java Spring, .NET or Node.js, tailored to your IT landscape. Hosting takes place in AWS, Azure or in your own cloud as required.
How do your software solutions specifically contribute to sustainability and CO₂ reduction?
We promote load shifting and renewable feed-in through data-driven load control, consumption analyses and dynamic tariffs. Automated processes reduce paper consumption and manual errors, while self-services enable prosumers to use their own electricity efficiently.
How can SPRYLAB actively support us in innovation?
In interactive workshops and ideation sprints, we transfer best practices from over 300 projects to the digitalization of the energy industry, combine industry and cross-industry experience and jointly develop MVPs. This allows you to create well-founded innovations, validate concepts quickly and implement forward-looking solutions.
