Unique customer benefits: Self Service saves time and money
Commercial purchasers of energy can rejoice, because purchasing electricity has never been easier, faster and more transparent than with the new online tool enPORTAL Self Service. "Until now, conducting energy tenders and achieving the optimal price was a time-consuming, usually extremely complex requirement for companies. With our new enPORTAL Self Service offer, we are meeting the need of many entrepreneurs to be able to purchase electricity easily and securely themselves and to benefit from maximum competition," explains Rainer Otto, founder and CEO of enPORTAL. Thanks to the innovation, the purchasing process can be carried out free of charge by any energy buyer, controller or managing director with Internet access - without an external energy consultant. Currently, enPORTAL lists around 500 electricity suppliers who can participate in the online energy tender. All bids submitted are shown in a clear bidder's list; due to the short price commitment, there are no risk surcharges. Otto goes on to explain about the innovation: "Our innovative enPORTAL Self Service product is unique because it enables everyone from the managing director to the controller to quickly become a professional for electricity purchasing. Our new web tool also offers many economic advantages. This is how we are extending our lead as a pioneer in the market for energy comparison and energy purchasing."
Energy Purchasing 3.0 - further advantages of enPORTAL Self Service
Rainer Otto and Clemens Graf von Wedel came up with the idea for enPORTAL Self Service in 2012. After a one-year development phase, the online tool will be launched on the German market in September 2013. "Thanks to our many years of expertise in the energy market, we know exactly what information and facts are important for electricity buyers. We suspected that the market would become more confusing for energy buyers. Looking to the future, we have therefore developed a product that moves with the times and offers progressive new possibilities for purchasing electricity via the Internet," adds Clemens Graf von Wedel, founder and Managing Director of enPORTAL. During development, the company focused on the needs of the target group and therefore paid special attention to fast, intuitive navigation and maximum security in the design.
Four steps to the best electricity offer
"To use enPORTAL Self Service, customers only need a computer with an Internet connection and about six minutes of time," says Clemens Graf von Wedel. The use is divided into four simple steps: First, fill out the registration form, then log in and upload customer data. In the third step, start the tender and after the evaluation - fourth - award the contract to the best electricity provider. Done. Once the customer has decided on a supplier, enPORTAL receives a fee from the commissioned supplier, which is the same for all energy suppliers listed on the portal. For customers, enPORTAL Self Service is free of charge.
