Case Study: Reliant Energy creates a connected home super-app with Athlon

Reliant Energy launches connected home app in 13 weeks with Athlon

Reliant Energy, one of America's leading energy providers, faced the challenge of its customers adopting diverse home technologies like solar panels and EVs, which its existing app was not built to manage. They partnered with the vendor Athlon to reimagine and redesign their application into a unified connected home command center.

Athlon implemented a solution by inventing a new energy super-app category, delivering a production-ready product concept in just 13 weeks. The redesigned app featured a customizable home dashboard and dedicated modules for solar and EV management. This resulted in highly positive user feedback, achieving a 4.9 App Store rating from over 18,000 reviews and a 4.7 Google Play rating from 8,800 reviews for Reliant's 6 million customers.
