Company mission

To help accelerate the energy transition.

Our take

To support the energy transition, epilot supplies a cloud platform for utilities, grid operators and energy solution providers. It boasts a range of capabilities from CRM and customer service to workflows, automations and integrations.

The idea behind the platform is to support energy businesses to move away from their legacy software systems, and in doing so advance the energy transition. Basically, by making it easier to make the switch, epilot encourages more businesses to do so.

The company's approach stems from the belief that the path to greater climate protection requires a digital foundation. It's an interesting attitude and quite possibly a necessary one. Plus, with new funding under its belt, epilot is in a great position to speed up its product roadmap and expand its team.
