Seamless Billing, Simplified Communication

HIGHLIGHTS

Castle Water partnered with Orbyt and MBA Group to deliver a secure, multi-channel billing and payment solution. 

Through seamless integration between Orbyt’s SaaS platform and MBA’s communication infrastructure, the result was a fully automated billing distribution system spanning print, digital, and dynamic chaser notifications.

The Challenge

Castle Water, the UK’s largest independent business water retailer, faced the modern utility challenge: customers expecting digital-first experiences while requiring reliable, secure billing across multiple touchpoints. With a diverse customer base spanning large multi-site organisations to SMEs, they needed a solution that could deliver consistency at scale while accelerating payment cycles. 

The Solution

Castle Water partnered with Orbyt, whose modern SaaS platform offered secure, multi-channel billing and payment capabilities. To ensure seamless delivery across all communication channels, Orbyt integrated with MBA Group, creating an end-to-end solution that automated billing distribution across print and digital channels. 

The implementation experience was described by Castle Water as “seamless and effortless.” Through close collaboration and efficient technical integration, Castle Water moved quickly from planning to production. Communication workflows were established with minimal business disruption, enabling immediate improvements in delivery speed and customer reach.

“Reducing DSO is a priority for us, but ensuring a seamless, customer-friendly experience is essential. Customers are paying their bills before the due date.”

The Impact

‎Intelligent Communication Delivery: Customers now receive bills through their preferred channel automatically, with intelligent fallbacks ensuring messages always reach their destination. Whether email, SMS, RCS, or print, each communication is personalised and optimised for engagement. 

Frictionless Payment Experience: The new QR-code enabled “Scan–Pay–Done” experience has transformed how customers interact with their bills. Mobile-first design supporting modern payment methods means fewer clicks and faster settlement. 

Behind-the-Scenes Efficiency: Automated, secure data transfer between platforms eliminated manual processes while maintaining full audit trails. The infrastructure scales seamlessly, handling peak volumes without intervention. 

The Power of Integrated Partnership 

The outcomes speak volumes: stronger cash flow, shorter billing cycles, reduced customer queries, and significantly higher engagement across key communication channels.

This collaboration highlights the power of complementary technologies working in harmony. Castle Water achieved faster billing cycles and improved customer satisfaction. Orbyt provided a scalable, fully integrated platform, while MBA Group ensured seamless, automated delivery across all channels. Together, the partnership didn’t just enable digital transformation, it made it effortless, effective, and real.
