One Utility Bill is an innovative company that has emerged in response to the evolving landscape of utility management. Founded on the principle of simplifying and streamlining the often complex world of utility payments, the company has swiftly become a trailblazer in their field.
Recognising the challenges faced by both property managers and residents in managing multiple utility bills efficiently, One Utility Bill developed a comprehensive platform that consolidates various utility expenses into a single, manageable payment.
With a customer-centric approach and a commitment to innovation, the company continues to reshape the utility management landscape, providing a seamless and modern solution for all stakeholders involved.
The Challenge
We were initially contacted by One Utility Bill to discuss what they were looking for in an IT provider, as well as to assess any potential issues that needed resolution. At the time, One Utility Bill did not have a dedicated IT support supplier, which meant that small IT issues could go unresolved for a while. We also discovered that they had three different fibre lines entering the building, leading to complex network issues.
Our initial assessment of the business revealed potential issues that could escalate into more serious problems if not resolved. Given their customer-centric approach, these issues could have posed significant challenges for the business, highlighting the immediate need for new solutions to be implemented.
“Smart IT was the perfect option for us as they offered a comprehensive solution that would address our immediate issues. Additionally, the support contract helps us to tackle potential future challenges as well.”

The Solution
Upon identifying these pressing challenges, Smart IT promptly undertook a range of targeted measures to address the issues hindering One Utility Bill’s technological landscape. We now provide dedicated IT support, enabling their users to log tickets within our online system and receive swift and efficient IT assistance.
This significantly aids the business, ensuring that IT issues do not impede their day-to-day operations. We replaced the three different fibre lines entering the building with a single, much faster dedicated lease line. This affords One Utility Bill substantially faster internet speeds and streamlined connectivity compared to their previous setup with three lines. We also installed new switches and network access points throughout the building, ensuring that each desk benefits from a dedicated network connection.
After evaluating One Utility Bill’s firewall, we identified areas for improvement to enhance its effectiveness against the latest cyber threats. To address this issue, we integrated a new firewall solution to safeguard the business against potential attackers.
“The solution provided to us was perfect for our business and was installed quickly and comprehensively. We experienced minimal downtime and were consistently kept updated with relevant updates.”
