- Minsait will implement advanced systems in the commercial and corporate departments to achieve a more efficient business management and obtain a more comprehensive vision of the company
- Similar initiatives undertaken by the Indra company in other companies in the African energy sector increased revenues by around 20%, as well as substantially improving customer satisfaction indicators
- Minsait has just completed a similar project successfully in Malawi and it is carrying out other projects with similar characteristics in Nigeria and Liberia
Minsait, an Indra company, has signed a contract with SEGESA, the Electricity Company of Equatorial Guinea, to carry out its management transformation project through the implementation and integration of advanced systems in the corporate and marketing departments. The contract amount is in the region five million Euros and it also includes the provision of a new data center in the cities of Malabo and Bata.
Minsait will provide and implement Onesait Utilities Customers, its next-generation solution for the comprehensive management of energy companies’ business activities, as well as the Microsoft Dynamics AX solution to manage all the corporate divisions of the company in a comprehensive manner. The contract also includes consulting services to reengineer processes and implement a change management plan.
The project will bring benefits such as the reduction of commercial losses, which, according to Minsait's experience, can amount to up to 40% of the energy generation costs and are usually associated with several factors such as illegal connections or operations, difficulties in the measurement of real consumption or inefficiencies in internal processes such as contracting, meter reading and billing of each company.
Likewise, similar initiatives undertaken by the company in other companies in the sector have contributed to increasing revenues by around 20%. The project will also make it possible to streamline service orders and improve customer service, in addition to optimizing economic, logistics and human resources management.
Onesait Utilities Customers makes it possible to automate and optimize the entire business cycle of electricity, gas and water companies (meter reading, billing, collection and comprehensive customer management). It also supports sales and information requests via virtual channels, speeding up decision-making and improving customer service quality. The solution also provides a single platform to oversee prepaid supplies, a system widely used in the African residential sector.
Additionally, it records service outage reports from customers, and automatically creates incident logs for the company's operations center to resolve. The system also facilitates the generation of automated service quality indicators.
This new contract strengthens Indra's leadership in the development of modernization projects for the African energy sector, where it has more than 25 clients in the leading companies on the continent. Minsait has just completed the development of the transformation project of ESCOM, the Malawi electricity company. Minsait has equipped the company with all the systems it needs to operate its business in an integrated manner, while making progress in other projects with similar characteristics in Liberia and Nigeria.
