Who are Advizzo?

Founded in London in 2015, Advizzo is a behavioral science software company, transforming the way customers think about their energy and water consumption, and how utility companies connect with their customers.

With significant experience in both utility and software industries, the founders sought to combine data science, cloud computing and behavioral science to solve the water and energy efficiency issues faced by utility companies.

  • Advizzo worked with Anglian Water using behavioral science to help them save 4,070 gallons per day

Who do we work for?

We help utility companies – electricity, water and gas – comply with regulations and standards, and improve their engagement with their customers in order to reduce consumption.

Why have we built Advizzo?

Our vision:
We believe in a world where everyone can use their own data to consume the exact energy and water they need.

Our mission:
We want to use behavioral science to enrich people’s lives, using insights from their own household data through their energy and water providers. This will change the way people think about electricity, gas and water consumption.
