The story

How the partnership played out

The situation

Smart Home Charge, a leading UK EV charger installer, wanted to streamline the process of claiming government grants for charger installations, reducing paperwork and effort for both their team and their customers.

The challenge

Customers faced a daunting, time-consuming government grant application. The manual paperwork was a significant source of frustration, causing delays and inefficiencies in processing grant claims.

What BSPOKE did

Having already built Smart Home Charge core software system, BSPOKE designed a custom digital forms solution. Staff complete most of the form on the customer behalf, leaving the customer with little more than checking, signing and uploading their documents.

The outcome

Paperwork and manual effort dropped, handling times fell and customer satisfaction rose. With a streamlined process in place, Smart Home Charge was ready for further growth in the electric vehicle charging market.

Inside the build

  • Pre-populated forms: staff enter the customer details and over three-quarters of the form is filled in automatically
  • Built-in data validation alerts customers to missing or incorrect information
  • Works on any device: computer, mobile phone, tablet or laptop
  • Digital signatures and document upload, with no physical paperwork
  • Completed forms stored ready for upload to the government website
