The challenge was not just to digitize invoice issuance. It was to connect Bulbe's entire operation — from energy generation to payment — in a single experience for employees and clients.

Context

A Bulbe é uma empresa de energia compartilhada que opera múltiplas usinas fotovoltaicas em Minas Gerais e distribui créditos de energia para consumidores residenciais e empresariais.

Todos os meses, cada cliente recebe uma Fatura Bulbe, documento que consolida os créditos de energia recebidos e apresenta o valor final a ser pago, sempre inferior ao da distribuidora tradicional.

Até então, grande parte dessa operação era apoiada por ferramentas distintas e processos parcialmente manuais. A empresa buscava uma plataforma própria capaz de centralizar sua operação, automatizar processos internos e oferecer aos clientes um canal digital para acompanhar toda a experiência após a adesão ao serviço.

The Challenges

O processo operacional da Bulbe envolvia diversas etapas antes que uma fatura pudesse ser gerada.

Mensalmente, era necessário analisar a geração das usinas, calcular o rateio da energia entre as instalações cadastradas, integrar informações provenientes da distribuidora de energia e consolidar todos esses dados em uma única fatura.

Grande parte desse fluxo era realizada utilizando uma plataforma de terceiros que não atendia completamente às necessidades do negócio.

Após a geração das faturas, a comunicação com os clientes acontecia por canais como e-mail e WhatsApp. Embora funcionais, essas plataformas não haviam sido concebidas para a gestão de cobranças, dificultando o acompanhamento das comunicações e contribuindo para índices de inadimplência superiores ao esperado.

O desafio consistia em criar um ecossistema digital capaz de atender simultaneamente às necessidades operacionais da Bulbe e às expectativas dos clientes, reunindo toda a jornada em uma única experiência integrada.

The Approach

O projeto começou pelo entendimento detalhado dos diferentes processos que sustentavam a operação da empresa.

Levantamento Qualificado

Conduzi entrevistas com equipes de Engenharia, Marketing e Atendimento para compreender o funcionamento da operação, o posicionamento do negócio e as principais necessidades relatadas pelos clientes.

Cada área contribuiu com uma perspectiva diferente do produto, permitindo construir uma visão integrada da plataforma.

Design System

Como o projeto contemplava um Sistema Corporativo e um Portal do Cliente, desenvolvi um Design System único para garantir consistência visual, reutilização de componentes e escalabilidade entre as diferentes aplicações.

Prototipação

Todos os fluxos do ERP e do Portal do Cliente foram detalhados em protótipos de alta fidelidade, documentando interações, estados e comportamentos necessários para o desenvolvimento das aplicações.

The Solution

The project was structured into two complementary applications, connected by the same Design System and an integrated experience.

Corporate System

The ERP was developed to support Bulbe's entire operational routine.

The invoice generation flow began to gather information from the plants' generation, the energy allocation among the facilities, and the invoices issued by Cemig, all integrated automatically into the system.

Since the team was already familiar with the Bulbe Invoice layout, I used the document itself as a reference for the creation interface. Information automatically filled by the system remained in their respective places, while data requiring manual intervention were converted into editable fields.

This decision reduced the team's learning curve and made the issuance process more intuitive.

In addition to invoice generation, the ERP also began to centralize customer communication management, allowing the configuration of relationship workflows, automatic billing, and customized campaigns across different channels, such as email, WhatsApp, SMS, and push notifications.

Customer Portal

The Customer Portal was designed to centralize the entire user journey after hiring the service.

From onboarding and activation tracking to invoice management, all major interactions began to take place in a single environment.

In the invoices area, customers can check their monthly history, track the status of each charge, view details of the savings obtained, access distributor receipts, and make payments via PIX or bank slip.

Since each situation requires specific communication needs, the invoice details screen was designed considering different states — such as open, paid, overdue, or canceled invoices — presenting appropriate actions and messages for each scenario.

To make the benefit of shared energy more tangible, I developed an area dedicated to consumption and the savings generated. In it, customers track consumption charts, monthly savings, and the total amount saved since the beginning of their relationship with Bulbe.

A benefits area was also created, where users can follow promotional campaigns and participate in referral programs to obtain new discounts.

Results and Learnings

O Portal do Cliente está disponível nas lojas de aplicativos e vem ampliando continuamente sua base de usuários.

O Sistema Corporativo passou a integrar a rotina operacional da Bulbe, apoiando a emissão de faturas, a gestão das comunicações e outras atividades críticas do negócio.

As duas aplicações continuam evoluindo com a inclusão de novas funcionalidades.

Durante minha atuação, recomendei a realização de testes de usabilidade e pesquisas com usuários para orientar a evolução do produto com base em evidências. Embora essa estratégia não tenha sido priorizada naquele momento, a experiência reforçou minha convicção de que produtos digitais alcançam melhores resultados quando a evolução contínua é acompanhada por pesquisa com usuários e validação constante das decisões de Design.
