Utilities

Industries

From meter to money, without the losses.

Utilities are carrying two transitions at once: record demand growth from new cities and industry, and the shift to renewables, desalination and tariff reform — all under regulators who expect every bill to be right.

Altivate delivers the sector’s SAP core: SAP S/4HANA Utilities for meter-to-cash, SAP S/4HANA Utilities Customer Engagement for service, and SAP Enterprise Asset Management with SAP Asset Performance Management to keep generation and networks available.

Then we make it intelligent — SAP Business AI and Joule in daily operations, with Altivate agentic AI working on your own consumption, outage and asset data.

The outcome: assets that stay available, losses you can see, and customers billed accurately the first time.

The pressures

The pressures reshaping utilities

Demand, scarcity and reform are converging on systems built for a slower era.

Demand from new cities, industry and data centres is growing faster than networks were planned for.
Water scarcity keeps desalination costs and every recovered cubic metre of losses on the board agenda.
Tariff reform and subsidy rationalisation expose the true cost-to-serve of every customer segment.
Ageing assets meet a growing renewables mix that makes generation and grid operations harder to balance.
Regulators and customers expect digital service and first-time-right bills — estimated reads no longer pass.
Delivery

What Altivate delivers on SAP

The utilities core, from the asset register to the customer’s bill.

Meter to cash, one system

SAP S/4HANA Utilities runs metering, billing and revenue on a single core built for the sector. Every read, rate and receivable reconciles without a chain of side systems.

Service customers actually feel

SAP S/4HANA Utilities Customer Engagement gives agents and self-service channels one view of account, consumption and requests. Bill disputes get answered with data, not callbacks.

Assets maintained before failure

SAP Enterprise Asset Management plans and executes maintenance across generation, networks and plants. Work orders, spares and permits run on one system of record.

Performance you can predict

SAP Asset Performance Management scores asset health and risk so maintenance spend goes where failure would hurt most. Strategies shift from time-based to condition-based, with evidence.

The edge

Where AI changes the game

Intelligence working on the utility’s own meter, asset and outage data.

Joule in daily operations

SAP Business AI and Joule work inside SAP S/4HANA Utilities, resolving billing exceptions and answering asset and account questions in plain language. Back-office teams clear queues instead of building them.

Agents on network data

Altivate agentic AI runs on your own consumption, outage and asset data to flag anomalous usage, prioritise field work and draft customer responses. Engineers and agents approve, not assemble.

Losses made visible

AI models on your own meter and network data separate technical from commercial losses and point to where revenue is leaking. Recovery programmes start from evidence, not estimates.
