Peter Hunt, Boston Water & Sewer Commission

“We were looking for a partner who truly listens – who sees us as more than just another account. With Itineris, that’s exactly what we found. Over time, we’ve built a relationship rooted in trust and responsiveness. Although Itineris has expanded significantly in the U.S. market, they continue to treat us like part of the family. Whenever we reach out, they’re there – and that consistency makes all the difference.”

“What sets Itineris apart is their unique combination – big enough to drive innovation, yet agile enough to truly listen. They don’t just deploy software; they engage in real conversations about our challenges. We’re not a ticket number – we’re a valued partner.”

Strategic goals

The upgrade to the cloud wasn’t just technical – it was strategic, unlocking:

  • Modern, cloud-secure architecture with evergreen updates.

  • AI-powered automation and intelligent workflows.

  • A future-ready foundation for GenAI and predictive analytics.

More than just an upgrade

In addition to migrating UMAX’ Customer Information Solution (CIS) to the cloud – supporting BWSC’s meter-to-cash, customer service, mobile work management, and business intelligence needs – the project included a revamped Customer Self-Service portal and new intelligent features powered by Machine Learning and GenAI.

These tools help CSRs handle routine and complex interactions more efficiently, expanding service capacity while ensuring faster, more consistent support for every customer.

Customer Self-Service Portal

The upgraded CSS portal gives BWSC customers instant access to account information, reducing call center dependency. It’s natively integrated with UMAX CIS, enabling real-time, bidirectional data exchange.

CleverCollect

Instead of sending the same payment reminder to everyone, BWSC can now tailor tone, timing, and channel based on each customer’s behavior using advanced Machine Learning techniques.
