Customer-first collections: How utilities can improve revenue recovery through proactive engagement
For utilities, revenue recovery has traditionally been viewed as a back-office function focused on overdue accounts and service disconnections. But…

Convey is excited to announce the acquisition of Selectron, a trusted provider of citizen engagement, field operations, inspection management, and payment solutions serving utilities and state and local government organizations across the United States.
This acquisition represents an important step in our continued growth and expands the capabilities of the Convey Engagement Operating System, enabling organizations to manage more of the customer and citizen journey through a single connected platform.
Organizations today are expected to do more than simply send notifications. Customers and citizens expect timely communication, digital self-service, convenient payment options, and visibility throughout every interaction.
By combining Convey’s AI-powered engagement operating system with Selectron’s expertise in electronic bill presentment, PCI-certified payments, inspections, and field operations, organizations can deliver more connected experiences while improving operational efficiency.
Together, the combined portfolio helps organizations:
Utilities have long relied on Convey to communicate with customers during critical moments, including outages, billing, field service appointments, and collections.
With Selectron joining Convey, utilities can now extend those experiences even further.
Organizations can connect communications with payments, field operations, inspections, and customer workflows to create a seamless experience from beginning to end. Whether a customer is making a payment, scheduling a service visit, receiving inspection updates, or interacting during an outage, the experience becomes more connected and transparent.
The acquisition also expands Convey’s presence within state and local government.
Selectron has built longstanding relationships with municipalities and public sector organizations through solutions that support inspections, permitting, mobile field operations, citizen engagement, and electronic payments.
Combining these capabilities with Convey’s engagement operating system gives government agencies new opportunities to modernize constituent communications while improving operational efficiency and citizen satisfaction.
This acquisition brings together two organizations with similar values and complementary expertise.
Convey provides intelligent engagement, AI orchestration, and omnichannel communications purpose-built for regulated industries. Selectron contributes deep expertise in payments, inspections, field workforce management, and citizen engagement. Together, we’re creating a broader platform that helps organizations improve every interaction across the customer and citizen journey.
This is an exciting milestone for both organizations and, more importantly, for our customers.
Existing Convey customers will gain access to expanded payment and field operations capabilities, while Selectron customers will benefit from Convey’s intelligent communications, AI-powered workflows, and engagement operating system.
As we continue investing in innovation, our focus remains the same: helping organizations create better experiences, improve operational performance, and strengthen the relationships they build with the people they serve.
