The knowledge-base contains a wealth of information which now allows staff at Citizens Advice Bureaus up and down the country to provide instant and accurate answers direct to the public.
As well as giving out advice on energy efficiency, the knowledge-base provides information about existing government schemes like the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT), which requires energy suppliers to install free or subsidised insulation. It also provides information on Warm Front, the government's heating grant scheme.
Susan Jones of Energy Saving Trust said: “We have been really pleased with the knowledge-base and impressed with how easy it is for our advisers to use. This is partly why it has now been rolled out to Citizens Advice Bureau staff as part of the Big Energy Saving Week campaign. It is great that we can reach far more customers with accurate information as part of this scheme.”
Peter McKean, Managing Director of Synthetix said: “We are excited to extend Synthetix knowledgeAgent out to the Citizens Advice Bureau. Our unique real-time search capabilities enable staff to get accurate answers to consumer questions about government energy schemes with unprecedented speed. We’re proud to be part of this valuable initiative by the Energy Saving Trust.”
