Utility Referral Operations Portal

A referral-heavy utility workflow needed a cleaner way for partners, reps, managers, and admins to move work without living in spreadsheets.

The situation

The operation had several people touching each referral: outside partners submitting work, field reps monitoring partner activity, internal reps making contact, and managers reviewing follow-up. When that work lives across forms, spreadsheets, and side conversations, the queue gets hard to trust.

The system

The portal created a role-based operating layer for submitting referrals, working daily queues, logging contact attempts, managing callbacks, reviewing status, and tracking partner payments.

What changed

  • Partners could submit and check referral status

    The system gave partners a cleaner way to send in referral details and see where submitted work stood.

  • Reps had clearer work and callback queues

    Daily work and follow-up activity were separated into views that made the next action easier to find.

  • Managers could review the full queue without chasing updates

    The management view made it easier to search, filter, review history, and understand what still needed attention.

  • Payment status lived with the work

    Commission and payment status were connected to the related referral instead of being tracked as a separate follow-up process.
