Eni Gas & Power (2018)

Preference analytics tool to gain customer insight


Overview

Eni Gas & Power is a subsidiary of the Eni Company, one of the largest industrial companies in the world headquartered in Rome, Italy.

As part of the Eni Gas & Power Genius campaign, TrueChoice developed a web application to help Eni customers understand different energy solutions and direct them to related products.

The application prompted users to rate their preferences across an array of options, calculating what products would fit individual user’s needs. Data from user input would be analyzed and reported back to Eni so the company could better tailor themselves to meet consumer demand.

Design requirements

      • A splash page
      • Survey pages using various widgets to collect user imput
      • A recommended product page telling the user which energy solution best fits their needs
