Our take
The utilities industry has a bit of a hidden problem: messy data. Customer records (especially addresses) are often wrong or out of date, making things like billing, credit checks, and fraud prevention harder than they should be. With people moving more often and new properties constantly being built, it's a growing issue. So, as utilities try to modernise, getting this data right is becoming a must-have.
That's exactly the space IDenteq is working in, helping utilities clean up and make better use of their customer data through its software platform. It offers tools for things like address cleansing and figuring out who actually lives at what property, helping companies avoid errors and operate more efficiently. The goal is simple: fix the data upfront so problems don't pop up later.
The business has been seeing real traction too, and its recent £700,000 follow-on investment is a sure sign of that. The funding will help IDenteq build new products, expand into new markets, and grow the team. It appears that the company is moving into the next stage of growth and is on its way to becoming a key player in how utilities manage and trust their data.
