We are the software behind your energy supplier

At ENSEK we make and manage the tech that energy suppliers rely on to manage all their interactions with their gas and electricity customers.

Think about the energy supplier you are with. They can use our critical software as the backbone of their service to you. This allows them to onboard you as a new customer, handle your meter readings, let you analyse your usage and bills, as well as taking your payments at a lower cost to them and to customers just like you.

The types of energy supply businesses we work with can range from mid-sized, challenger brands, through to global enterprise suppliers. They come to us at ENSEK, because our software, our services and our people are game changers. We offer a total service at a much lower cost than traditional providers with no loss of customer engagement or satisfaction. As you can imagine, that makes us hot property in the energy supply world, and we are expanding rapidly as a result.

We are demystifying and simplifying

To understand where we fit in this highly complex market, think of how easy it is for you to order an Uber, complete online banking, or buy something on Amazon for next day delivery. As consumers with busy lives, we expect things immediately, and at ENSEK, we are working hard to demystify the energy industry and reduce complexity, so it can respond in the same way.

We are driving decarbonisation and democratisation

Looking ahead in our marketplace, you can add the increasing, global uptake of solar panels, the purchasing of electric vehicles, and the growth of battery storage. These are all exciting initiatives that we are working on right now. We want to give energy suppliers the opportunity to build for this new energy future and give energy consumers, like you, the chance to live a greener lifestyle and, importantly, make more choices about how you use your energy.

As we hope you can see. It’s a very exciting time to join a company and an industry that has a very bright future.
