Digitalization in Energy Sales – A Success Story of Repower and meonet
Digitalization in Energy Sales – A Success Story of Repower and meonet
In today's dynamic energy world, energy suppliers (EVUs) face the challenge of making their sales processes efficient and error-free. For Repower, a leading player in the Swiss energy market, it was clear: the existing offer process was cumbersome, potentially error-prone, and only partially user-friendly. In collaboration with meonet, a tailored solution was developed to digitalize and automate energy sales. The result? An innovative offering tool based on ecm that elevates efficiency, transparency, and user-friendliness to a new level.

For Repower, a leading player in the Swiss energy market, it was clear: the existing offer process was cumbersome, potentially error-prone, and only partially user-friendly. In collaboration with meonet, a tailored solution was developed to digitalize and automate energy sales. The result? An innovative offering tool based on ecm that elevates efficiency, transparency, and user-friendliness to a new level.
The challenge: Complex processes, media breaks, and manual activities
The proposal process at Repower had developed historically, distributed across several systems from different organizational units, and therefore included media breaks and manual activities. The scalability did not meet the demands of a nationally leading energy supplier.
Proposals had to be created manually and entered into various systems.
After-sales activities such as supplier change processes and contract management had to be maintained manually.
Repower's wish was for a seamless, integrated solution that digitalizes and automates the entire proposal process – from price calculation to contract signing to billing.
The solution: A modular offering tool based on meonet ecm
The digitalization of the proposal process took place in several phases, with ecm introduced as the central system.
Phase 1: Unified offering tool with central data storage
Introduction of the ecm module "Proposal Calculation" for managing customers, measurement points, and proposals
Standardized and automated proposal processes
Integrated offer creation with contract management
Customer and contract management with automatic contract generation
✅ Result: Faster and error-free proposal creation with clear data structure.
Phase 2: Connection to the Swisseldex Datahub
Direct integration of market communication according to SDAT-CH
Automatic supplier changes and meter data requests
Complete transparency through a clear dashboard
✅ Result: No more media breaks – all market partners are digitally connected.
Phase 3: EDM Sales and Reporting
Management of time series and aggregates
Controlling instrument for completeness and quality of incoming data
Live overview of all realized and expected revenues, margins, etc.
Billing control
✅ Result: Significant reduction in manual effort and sources of error in billing.
General Improvements
Historical price views for electricity, gas, and origin certificates
HPFC viewer for long-term price analyses
✅ Result: Better decision-making bases for sales through transparent market prices.
The added value for Repower
For Repower, this solution means the following optimizations:
Time savings – proposal and billing processes now run automatically.
Error minimization – manual corrections have been significantly reduced.
User-friendliness – the intuitive interface of ecm makes everyday work in sales easier.
Flexibility – the solution is modular and can grow with future requirements.
Transparency – the solution provides an overview of realized and expected revenues / margins / etc. in "real-time"
The collaboration between Repower and meonet shows how digitalization and automation can make energy sales more efficient. With ecm as the central platform, a seamless process has been created that not only reduces errors but also lowers costs and increases customer satisfaction.
