Deals don’t win at signing—they win in integration. The biggest risk is operational drag: countless low-value tasks that burn time, cash, and attention.
Utility setup is a prime culprit. After an acquisition you’re wrangling new accounts, consolidations, and meter installs—often across markets and networks—creating delay and noise.
Termina removes that drag by standardising and automating new energy connections and account transfers at scale, while consolidating energy accounts across markets in one place. Free your acquisition managers to focus on what actually drives outcomes: retaining key people, aligning culture, and keeping customers informed.
The Post-Acquisition Scramble: Utilities as a Strategic Bottleneck
Day One inherits a patchwork of energy accounts: multiple providers, mismatched end dates, inconsistent billing—often on costly default rates. Admin overhead quickly becomes a strategic drag.
New meters add delay. Each install means applications, plans, contractors, inspectors, permits, and utility queues. Timelines can stretch weeks to months, stalling site openings and revenue.
Scale multiplies the pain: every new location adds providers, rules, and risk. Spreadsheet management is not just inefficient—it’s a bottleneck.
From Chaos to Control: One Source of Truth While Reducing Costs
Termina centralises portfolio management from Day One: a single dashboard for every site, invoice, and datapoint (electricity, gas, LPG). The best part is this is all done while leveraging the buying power of the entire portfolio of over 5000+ sites to reduce energy costs while doing so.
Now you can have an automated workflow to reduce energy costs for a new acquisition, move the account, and install new meters where required automatically for you with your dedicated account manager.
Automating New Connections: A Done-For-You Workflow
Termina replaces multi-party wrangling with one request and one team across Australia and New Zealand. We handle providers, paperwork, and timelines end-to-end.
This de-risks the critical path. Power and gas are hard dependencies. By making connections predictable, Termina stabilises timelines, unlocks time for the team, and gets sites revenue-ready faster.
