We will help your utility organization enhance the user experience across all your online services. 

Upanup helps numerous enterprise-level organizations across Canada and the United States improve their online services so their customers can easily access information and complete tasks—including utility clients, such as electric, natural gas, solar, and geothermal. 

We offer a range of user experience (UX) services to help our clients understand how their unique group of customers interact with their website and various other online services or tools.

Making Life Easier for Your Customers 

Our experience working with various organizations in the energy and utilities industry has given us valuable insight into the unique communications methods used by their customers and internal teams. We understand that online tools must be constructed to work well for people with different goals and interests, so we apply various UX methods to connect directly with real-world users and other interested parties to ensure we create a resource that reflects how users scan, absorb, and interact with information online.

Whether it be through UX research, testing and strategy, comprehensive human-centred designs and campaigns, and/or leading-edge design and development solutions for websites, prototypes, and applications, our user-first approach will ensure we determine the best solution for your specific audience or audience groups.

"Working with Upanup was straightforward and efficient. They were able to take our complex Excel financial model and turn it into a simple online user experience without sacrificing functionality. I was pretty much hands-off until the customer facing tool was ready for testing."
