"We're looking forward to working with Itineris to deliver best in class end-to–end systems for energy retailers and utilities. The sector is notoriously complex when it comes to integrating all the best in breed systems. Itineris and Astral Tech simplify the ecosystem by covering the entire customer lifecycle both from a digital engagement perspective and backend billing and CIS. This will enable retailers and utilities to deploy market-leading new technology stacks at speed and with lower risk."
