"Customers don't need to bother anymore if they need electrical assistance or complaints. We have also maximized PLN Mobile Apps by integrating our internal quick response system," he said at a press conference in Jakarta, Sunday 1 May.

Darmawan said that one of PLN's efforts to improve customer service is through Technical Service Transformation, or Yantek Optimization. This Technical Service is the spearhead of PLN's service to customers.

This is accompanied by making changes to the culture of Technical Service officers (Yantek) by implementing a digital system and Virtual Command Center (VCC) that is connected to the Yantek Mobile feature in the PLN Mobile application, so that services can be completed quickly.

"In the past, there was no communication room between UP3/ULP with the Yantek team and customers. Customers complained that they were confused about where to go. If they called, the follow-up was not clear. Don't know how to follow up. Now we provide a communication room in a digital system. Every customer is directly connected to officers," he said.

Thanks to this transformation, PLN's services to customers are now simpler, faster, integrated, easier, and can be monitored and controlled in real-time, even customers who make complaints can monitor the work of Yantek officers to completion and communicate with officers.
