Proven at Scale

Elektrum's self-service portal serves 475,000 monthly registered users for onboarding, viewing energy consumption, paying bills, updating agreements, and shopping for smart home products. It runs on a service-oriented architecture integrated with Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing, supported by roughly 70 web services. It has been built by us in 2012, and recently, the client has successfully moved to supporting the platform in-house.

Since 2012, we have been collaborating with CUBE Systems to develop and enhance Elektrum.lv, one of Latvia’s largest customer self-service portals. Over the years, we have come to value the transparency and professionalism of the CUBE Systems team in implementing tailored technical solutions. The team's focus on the project's technical sustainability is crucial to our partnership.

Frequently Asked Questions

A customer self-service platform is a portal or/and mobile app where your customers can manage their own account – viewing usage or history, paying bills, filing claims or applications, and updating their information – without contacting a support agent.

Any business with recurring customer interactions: utilities, insurers, banks, telecoms, and subscription businesses. Self-service portals allow to cut support load and improve customer experience.

A typical project starts with a Discovery & Strategy phase from €4,800, followed by Integration Analysis and UX/UI Design from €10,000, and first-stage development from €25,000. Exact scope and cost depend on your business processes and the systems you need to integrate with.

Discovery takes about a month, integration analysis and design run 1–3 months, and first-stage development takes 3 months or more, depending on scope. Most clients launch a first stage, then grow the platform in later stages.

Yes! Self-service platforms are typically integrated with core systems like billing, CRM, ERP, or industry-specific platforms – Elektrum's customer self-service platform, for example, runs on around 70 web services connected to Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing.

AI-powered knowledge base aggregates answers from multiple internal systems, so your support team finds the right answer faster. Simultaneously, AI-powered chatbots and search resolve customer requests, and can learn from real support interactions to automate more over time – reducing both support costs and response times.
