The independent energy manager of the market, Vivolt, closes 2022, helping both SMEs and households to save more than 1.5 million euros on your electricity and gas bills. The accumulated savings of Vivolt’s corporate clients, around 500 companies that account for 75% of its portfolio -mostly SMEs- has reached 1.25 million euros, while the family savings has been around 250 thousand euros.
Thus, thanks to Vivolt, both small and medium-sized companies and homes can enjoy an energy management and consultancy service reserved, until now, for large companies that could bear the cost of these professionals.
To do this, Vivolt works with an algorithm developed by themselves that studies more than 420 market rates from 23 marketers, to offer the best to each consumer, allowing them to save between 15 and 20%.
The savings achieved by Vivolt customers are very different, even saving a company 78% on their electricity and gas bills, but on average, the SME savings are around 15%. Thus, an SME in the hotel sector can save an average of 16% on its electricity and gas bills, which is equivalent to 5,711 euros per year, or 14% if it is an SME in the restaurant sector, which is equivalent to 1,060 euros. /year. In the case of large companies, the average saving is 12%, which means 18,470 euros per year. In the case of average households, the savings is around 20% of their bill, which means 1,121 euros per year.
In this way, Vivolt takes advantage of the recruitment offers from energy companies -which are very competitive the first year- so that the user always enjoys the best offer on the market. Vivolt is in charge of this periodic review, changing its company customers when necessary, at no cost to them, and thus avoiding rate increases after the recruitment period that these companies use as a commercial weapon.
The user only has to provide the last two electricity and gas bills and, in just 48 hours, Vivolt carries out the personalized study and takes care of all the administrative procedures to carry out the change of company, all free of charge for the user, since it is the energy marketers themselves that pay a commission to the startup , based on the consumption of each new client that you bring them.
Brothers and entrepreneurs
This startup, which was born in the middle of a pandemic and developed during the biggest energy crisis in the world, hand in hand with the brothers Treviño, Lucas and José Maríaarises as a response to a familiar problem, with which we have all encountered: not only do electricity and gas bills rise, but trying to find solutions is beyond the reach of the average citizen, due to the great complexity involved in understanding all concepts of invoices and rates.
Thus, although José María was already related to the energy sector, through his father’s engineering, which he took over after his death, he had to invest many hours to find the best rate for his mother, to whom he changed jobs. company and saved him 30% of the monthly cost. But the satisfaction did not last long since a year later the marketer raised the price without warning.
“This made me very angry, I had wasted a whole day looking for the best supplier and, like any user who has tried to optimize their bill, I realized that it is really difficult to find an offer adapted to the needs of each one. In addition, everyone knows that they do not make it easy for you with deceptive rates, a lot of fine print or aggressive recruitment policies that confuse us” – assures José María Treviño. “Thus, from this very daily event, the disruptive idea of Vivolt arose, which functions as a kind of Robin Hood of the energy sector in which we look for loopholes in commercial offers so that, for once, it is the user who wins and not the big companies Trevino continues.
