The move enables SOLAD to digitise collections and provide
existing energy customers with a broader range of financial services, as part
of the company’s strategy to build a fully integrated digital
power-as-a-service network.
SOLAD will progressively integrate its sites into the agent
network, beginning with its operations in Ogun State, digitising the customer
experience and using power supply as the foundation on which SOLAD customers
will be able to pay for more than 5,000 different services at SOLAD customer
service centres
Services will include cash-in cash-out, bill payments, and
other agent network related activities. As more SOLAD sites go live, they will
be added to the Quickteller Paypoint network ensuring that these services are
available to all SOLAD customers.
Welcoming SOLAD to the Quickteller Paypoint platform,
Titilola Shogaolu, Divisional CEO at IFIS stated that the addition of SOLAD
helps IFIS unleash its value proposition to the energy sector especially
mini-grid and off-grid segments. Payments and collections have become more
convenient for both agents and customers alike.
“We are excited about the partnership with SOLAD and believe
that with our platform, customers utilizing SOLAD services nationwide in the
long term will enjoy seamless ways to pay for electricity services,” she said.
Commenting on the agreement, SOLAD Power Group Nigeria CEO,
Yewande Olagbende, said: “SOLAD has connected more than 10,000 small businesses
with reliable, affordable power and we can now begin to supplement the customer
relationship by providing additional value-added services in some of our
locations.
“This is part of our long-term ambition to build a fully
integrated digital power-as-a-service network that is able to develop and
deliver a range of services alongside our power distribution infrastructure. We
look forward to rolling out more sub-agents as our network of projects
expands.”
Expanding on SOLAD’s digital service ambitions, SOLAD Power
Group CEO Denis O’Brien said: “SOLAD has a unique proposition, in that we are
delivering innovative power solutions using clean energy to communities that
desperately need it, but we recognise that power alone is just the beginning.
“By digitising the customer service experience and
integrating into other service providers we can use power supply as the entry
point through which a wide range of digital service propositions can be
provided.
“The more we learn about our customers’ needs and
preferences, the better we will be able to design and deliver service
propositions that meet their unique circumstances.
“Our pilot site in Ogun State, in partnership with
Interswitch, is our first step in delivering these connected services. We have
a firm belief that a mobile led approach will help thousands of business owners
across our platform.”
