Energy

Field engineers in energy and utilities spend 30–45% of their working day on documentation — maintenance reports, fault logs, and inspection records — time taken from actual maintenance and remediation work in the field.

Energy companies produce volumes of compliance reports annually — RIGs returns, environmental incident notifications, and safety case reviews — each requiring extensive data aggregation under regulatory deadlines.

During planned and unplanned outages, control room teams must simultaneously manage technical remediation and produce a high volume of stakeholder communications under severe time pressure.

Energy supplier customer service teams handle tens of thousands of billing queries, tariff change requests, and smart meter appointments annually — with complex, individualised responses required for each customer.

Energy companies face rapidly escalating demands for ESG disclosures — TCFD reports, Scope 1/2/3 emissions calculations, sustainability reports, and investor questionnaires — requiring extensive data aggregation.

Safety, Health and Environment managers produce hundreds of risk assessments, RAMS documents, safety cases, and Permit to Work documents annually — highly regulated documentation that is almost entirely manually written.
