OVO Solar & Heating
Energy Supplier · 12+ franchises
The Challenge
OVO Solar and Heating launched in early 2025 as a new venture within OVO Energy Group. Rather than building an in-house installation team, they chose a franchise model - partnering with regional installers across the UK. CTO Andy Sellick faced a critical decision: build an installer management platform internally, or find an external partner who truly understood the renewable energy space.
The Solution
Payaca provided a single platform for all franchises with API integrations for telephony, call recording, and Safety Culture. This gave OVO unified customer data across their entire network while avoiding what Andy estimated would have been 'multiple millions' in custom development costs.
