Billinge Energi, 7H Kraft and Herrljunga Kraft choose Fore Development as partner for their digital customer platform
Together they have chosen Fore Development as platform partner for their new digital customer experience. Through Energisystemet™, their private and business customers gain access to an energy app, a business portal and a back office, all under their own brands.
A forward-looking energy company
Billinge Energi, which operates the brands 7H Kraft and Herrljunga Kraft, is one of Western Sweden's largest electricity retailers, supplying energy to approximately 50,000 customers. Since 2024, the company has been jointly owned by Skövde Energi, Skara Energi and Lidköping Miljö & Teknik — a constellation that has strengthened the company's ability to invest in digital services and new energy solutions. The three brands have long been known for transparency, personal customer service and local engagement, and with Energisystemet™ they are now taking another step in their digital journey.
“We have long seen the need to strengthen our digital presence, but we have been quite selective. A standalone app doesn't solve what our customers actually want. We've wanted to find a partner who can grow alongside us, in step with customer needs. With Fore, we get not just a solution but a platform we can build on — and that's where the real customer value lies.”
Marcus Gustafson, CEO Billinge Energi, 7H Kraft and Herrljunga Kraft
Digital infrastructure for forward-looking energy companies
Energisystemet™ is Fore's all-in-one solution for energy companies. The platform gives energy companies an attractive digital offering for both private and business customers, while strengthening their own organisation. Customers get modern tools to understand and take control of their energy use. The energy company gets a direct channel to its customers, new revenue opportunities and more efficient customer support. And for the electricity retail and grid divisions, the system opens up entirely new possibilities for smart control, analysis and data-driven decisions.
Everything is delivered under the energy company's own brand. The energy company owns all data the system generates and has the opportunity to co-develop new features together with Fore and other energy companies on the platform.
“Billinge Energi has a clear ambition that the customer relationship of the future is digital. That's exactly the kind of energy company we are building Energisystemet™ together with.”
Martin Hellgren, CEO Fore Development
The three brands now join a growing group of Swedish energy companies that have chosen Energisystemet™ as their digital backbone. At Fore, this is exactly the kind of partnership that drives us — energy companies with ambition who want to build something real together with us, not just buy a finished product.
