Woven Incident Management

At Woven, we provide peace of mind year-round with our incident management service. 

No matter the challenge, your calls remain answered, phone lines stay live, and your customers always receive exceptional care.

The Realities of Utilities 

Utilities don’t get “busy periods”. They get events. And when the lines light up, the stakes go up with them:

  • Customers can’t get updates, so frustration escalates
  • Contact centres get overwhelmed, SLAs slip, and complaints spike
  • Internal teams get dragged into comms instead of restoring service
  • Mixed messaging spreads fast and damages trust

Woven gives you control when demand spikes — so every caller gets a calm, clear, professional response when they need it most.

 Built for Outages, Storms and Unplanned Events

Storm events like Eunice and Babet left 1.4 million people without power in consecutive years — and those incidents drove some of the highest outage levels on record.

That’s exactly what Woven is built for: rapid surge support that keeps customers informed and your operation resilient, whether the incident lasts hours or weeks.

  • Storm/outage call spikes
  • Planned works and service interruptions
  • Billing/price-change inbound surges
  • Supply disruption and regional incidents
  • Major incident escalation handling (including sensitive
  • scenarios)
  • Crisis comms and alerts (status updates, call drivers, guidance) 

That’s when answer times slip, abandoned calls rise, and monthly reports become uncomfortable.

With Woven, you get a specialist FM call-handling layer that: 

  1. Keeps answer times under 20 seconds, even at peak
  2. Reduces abandoned calls by up to 35–45%
  3. Gives you clean data to defend performance in reviews and retenders

Your SLAs stop being promises on paper and become service levels you can actually deliver.

How Our Incident Management Service Works

Retainer Fe​e

Like insurance, you pay a small monthly fee so our operators stay fully trained and up to date on your policies, processes, and escalation paths — ready to step in when you need them.

Swift Response

When the surge hits, teams can be spun up within the hour and scaled from 10 to 1,000 FTE, depending on demand.

Technology

We can work in your system or provide ours — keeping continuity tight and making sure every interaction is recorded properly.

Disaster Recovery

We stay in place until service is stable and your operations are fully restored — whether you need support now, tomorrow, or in the future.

A Message From Nancy

"When I speak to Ops directors in Utilities, I hear the same pressures: stretched teams, rising costs, and tenants expecting more. 

Outsourcing shouldn’t mean losing control. It should mean partnership - experts in your corner who care about first-time fixes as much as you do. 

My team and I work closely with you to build support that feels seamless, human, and aligned with your goals."

Case Study

Surge Support for a Major Network & FM Operator 

Woven has supported one of the UK’s largest distribution network operators for over a decade, providing a flexible, high-performance surge service. 

This collaboration​ demonstrates Woven’s resilience, performance, and ability to scale rapidly under pressure. 

When severe storms triggered widespread outages, Woven:

  • Deployed 100 FTE within 24 hours 
  • Expanded to 200 FTE within 48 hours
  • Met all client SLAs, maintaining service continuity
  • Delivered 25,000+ hours of customer support in one week

The result? Their internal and operational teams could focus on restoring services, while Woven kept customers informed and the helpdesk under control.

Questions on Woven Surge for Utilities

Everything You Need to Know About Our 24/7 helpdesk and incident support for Utilities.

How fast can you activate surge cover?

Teams can be spun up within the hour once readiness is in place. For new setups, we’ll confirm the fastest safe go-live based on scope and systems.

Can you handle sensitive incidents and distressed callers?

Yes. Our Incident Response Specialists are trained to remain calm, professional and effective through critical failures and high-pressure situations.

Do we need to change our systems?

No. We can work in your environment or provide ours, and we integrate with leading customer service platforms.

How does escalation work?

We agree escalation rules upfront (what gets escalated, to whom, and when). During the event, we follow those rules precisely and capture clean call details.

Can you scale down once things stabilise?

Yes — support flexes with demand. We scale up during the incident and reduce coverage as volumes normalise.
