All Information relevant to the application is made available. Changes and supplements by the employee can be done quickly and easily. Application documents can be viewed, opened and added.

If the employee identifies discrepancies or missing information during the application process, Lovion CONSUMER can document these.

Information about discrepancies or modifications is automatically communicated to the applicant via the Lovion CONSUMER PORTAL.

Easy Coordination of Construction Work

After the applcation phase and offer have been completed, the implementation phase and commisioning by the applicant commences. Within this phase, the processing steps invloving planning, approval, execution as well as technical documentation and contractual completion are carried out in Lovion CONSUMER. The general project coordination for adhering to deadlines and appointments is done separately for each division. Thus, various project participants can be supervised efficiently, ensuring a smooth construction process.

The connection to Lovion WORK and Lovion TASK offers further support for the network connection process using person-based and department-based tasks.

Consistent Workflow for the whole Network Connection Process

In the final step of the network connection process in Lovion CONSUMER, the proper technical documentation of the construction work as well as the correct contractual project completion is achieved.

Lovion CONSUMER Extensions

In order to extend functions to support the network connection process in Lovion CONSUMER , various extension packages are available as customer products.

Application Management for putting the Network Connection into Operation

Next to the application process, further applications are available in the extension for putting the network connection into operation. The following application types are available:

• Applications for putting new network connections into operation
• Applications for putting modified network connections into operation
• Notification for decomissioning an existing network connection
• Application for putting a temporary network connection into operation

Processing applications for operational launch and the communication between project participants is identical to the initial application process for a house connection. The same user interface and tools are available to the user.

By directly linking the application for the operational launch to the relevant house connection project, a reference to the process object is assured at all times.

Application Management for decentralised Power Producers

The number of decentralised power producers in the entire network has increased during the energy transformation period.
