Secure customer experience for utility companies

The Authentication and Signing solutions from Signicat offer new and modern opportunities for utility companies to develop digital supporting processes in many areas.

Customers expect their utility providers to provide smooth and frictionless authentication, providers that do not live up to the expectations might see their prospective customers move to competitors who do.

Authentication solutions for utility companies

Our authentication solutions make it possible to live up to customer expectations and allows utility companies to enable a more secure and faster way to access their platforms and tools.

  • Secure login and sign-in


  • Save time and minimise losses

  • Grow your business

Customer focus for utility companies

Finding the right balance between compliancy and user experience, without compromising on either one is challenging, yet necessary.

Today, customers expect a high standard of digital authentication, which is fast, easy to use, and works flawlessly. This means GDPR-compliant user login and authentication with no more forgotten usernames and passwords, generating noise for customer support.

By embedding secure authentication on any "my page" customer portal, and enabling automation and self-service, the end customer will have a friction-free and secure experience. This also means fewer drop-offs, increased conversion rates and more capacity to welcome new customers.

Why do utility companies need authentication solutions?

Secure authentication from Signicat will help your customers keep track of important events and helps drive customer engagement.

With the utility industry in the spotlight, it’s crucial to provide a streamlined user experience. Customers expect to follow their own electricity and gas consumption online and keep track of usage. Both to keep their costs down but also to contribute to a smarter and more sustainable society.


For example, look at the new electricity meters, prepared for digital services that can help your customers find household's energy thieves. By activating the HAN port (Home Area Network) in the meter and connect using smart home equipment, your customers can check different data in no time.
