| Mercer | Legacy | Mercer Darwin Benefits (formerly Thomsons Online Benefits) | Benefits Administration | HCM | n/a | 2018 | 2019 |
In 2018 Utility Warehouse implemented Mercer Darwin Benefits (formerly Thomsons Online Benefits) as its centralized platform for employee Benefits Administration. The deployment targeted total rewards and benefits engagement for approximately 1,500 employees, consolidating enrollment, communications, and benefit selection into Mercer Darwin Benefits to drive inclusion and employee engagement.
The implementation covered core benefits portal capabilities, total rewards configuration, administration of share options and share awards, management of SAYE schemes, and oversight of private medical insurance, dental, life assurance, cycle to work and eye care programs. Mercer Darwin Benefits was used to instrument pension administration workflows and pension assessment compliance, and to support gender pay gap reporting and the annual salary review process.
Integrations and operational connections were explicitly established with ADP Freedom payroll and BambooHR, and the programme set up third party providers including Salary Finance and Commuter Club on the benefits platform. Pension operations included running the Aviva pension fund end to end and executing a transfer from Aviva to Scottish Widows, and the team benchmarked new payroll providers while planning a move toward a fully integrated HRIS.
Governance and process changes included centralizing total rewards ownership under the payroll and benefits manager, leading a team of payroll specialists, creating salary bandings for tech and call center populations, managing the bonus cycle, and running benefits fairs to collect employee feedback. The initiative explicitly aimed to add value and inclusion to the Utility Warehouse family culture, create a happier workplace and reduce attrition.

| Genesys | Legacy | Genesys Cloud CX Chat | Chatbots and Conversational AI | AI-Powered Application | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020 Utility Warehouse implemented Genesys Cloud CX Chat to centralize omnichannel customer interactions and advance its Chatbots and Conversational AI capabilities across a UK contact center supporting roughly 1,000 agents. The deployment targeted improved business continuity, faster innovation cycles, reduced employee and customer effort, and an immediate ability to transition to remote working.
The implementation instrumented Genesys Cloud CX Chat with core functional modules including Email, Inbound, Outbound, Chat and Self-Service, together with Genesys Workforce Engagement Management for forecasting and scheduling. Configuration included dynamic IVR flows, intent based routing driven by customer profiling, predictive dialing automation for outbound campaigns and a virtual queue position holder called WeQ4You, enabling blended advisor support across voice, email and chat.
Genesys Cloud CX Chat was integrated with the companys in-house CRM via platform APIs and with Google Dialogflow to surface conversational AI and contextual data into the agent UI, allowing agents to handle all interactions through a single CRM interface built in-house. Reporting and analytics from Genesys replaced wallboards with customized dashboards, and platform controls were applied to restrict features such as data and call recording downloads for security and compliance.
Operational rollout was executed with in-house resources, with two team members leading the platform cutover alongside day to day work and completing the migration in about eight weeks without engaging a third party. Governance changes included shifting from siloed teams to dynamic agent multitasking, blended channel routing, and enabling agents to view schedules remotely, which supported a rapid shift to home working across the estate and for partner companies that adopted the cloud platform.
Measured operational outcomes provided in the deployment narrative include queue reductions from 105 to 10 across the business, a reduction of external phone numbers from 600 to 20, consolidation of IVR menus to six with most customers able to navigate with two presses, email SLAs improving to 98 percent answered within 48 hours and over 50 percent same day, and reductions in outbound wasted agent time reported at up to 60 percent through predictive dialing. Genesys Cloud CX Chat remains central to Utility Warehouses purpose built CX strategy and ongoing agent enablement.
