Payaca’s DNO application integration: Submit faster with pre-populated project data and real-time updates

ENA DNO API

We’re thrilled to announce a new milestone for Payaca – the release of our Distribution Network Operator (DNO) application integration! This powerful feature allows you to submit DNO applications directly through our platform, with all the relevant details pre-populated from your project, ensuring a seamless and speedy process. No more time-consuming manual entries! Now, you can submit applications in a fraction of the time and receive real-time updates on their status.

What Is a DNO Application?

When installing technologies like heat pumps, solar panels, or electric vehicle chargers, it’s necessary to notify the local DNO to manage your connection to the electricity grid properly. Traditionally, this has been a tedious process, involving the manual entry of data into separate systems, often resulting in duplication of work and the potential for errors.

How Payaca’s Integration Changes the Game

1. Instant pre-population of project data

  • Seamless integration: Payaca’s system pulls all relevant data from your existing project, meaning you no longer have to waste time re-entering information. This integration ensures accuracy and consistency across your application.
  • All images collected in one place: Any images taken during the site survey using Payaca’s field service app are instantly available for selection during the DNO application process, making it easier than ever to provide supporting evidence.
  • Save time: With details like customer information, installation addresses, equipment specifications, and more pre-filled, you can submit your DNO application in minutes instead of hours.

2. Real-time updates

  • Stay informed: As your DNO application progresses, receive real-time status updates directly within Payaca. This means you can monitor every stage of the process without checking multiple platforms or chasing updates.
  • Automatic notifications: You’ll be alerted when your application is received, processed, or if additional information is required, ensuring you stay in the loop and can respond quickly.

3. Streamlined workflow

  • End-to-end management: From creating a project to submitting the DNO application and tracking its progress, everything is managed within Payaca’s platform. This integration eliminates the need for repetitive data entry, reducing errors and administrative burden.
  • Customisable automation: Build automations around the DNO submission process to further streamline your operations, making it easier to handle multiple installations efficiently.

Why This Matters for Your Business

  • Faster turnaround: Previously, submitting a DNO application could take hours, requiring extensive manual data entry across different platforms. With Payaca, it’s now a quick and easy process, meaning you spend less time on admin and more time on the job.
  • Improved accuracy: By pulling data directly from your project and utilising field-collected images, you reduce the risk of errors, ensuring smoother communication with the DNO.
  • Enhanced efficiency: The pre-populated forms and real-time tracking mean your team can focus on what matters – delivering top-quality installations for your customers.

Initial release for heat pumps – more to follow!

We’re excited to share that this feature is available now for heat pump installations, with other low-carbon technologies such as solar PV and electric vehicle chargers following shortly. This expansion will ensure that whatever technology you’re installing, Payaca will continue to streamline your DNO application process.
