Fortum wants to strengthen its presence in the mobile and offer smooth, easy-to-use tools for consumers to monitor, control and interact with their everyday energy use. We are constantly looking for the next interesting services and functionalities to be integrated in our existing OmaFortum (MyFortum) mobile application.

What are we looking for:

We have developed OmaFortum mobile application for easy control of our customers' energy use. This can be used as the base for the project but it doesn't have to, you can also start from scratch for any good reason.

Currently users can monitor their consumption, invoices and contracts in the app. However, the app doesn't provide tools to improve consumer behavior. How would you make the app - or Fortum's mobile presence in general - more interactive?

  • Why do people want to monitor energy use? What would be really interesting?
  • What behaviours should be included in the app to make it easy for customer to follow anything related to energy, living, family or something else?
  • What kind of impulses can the app trigger? How?
  • Business model for the app: could it be white labeled to any other energy utility or is linked for example with the country or city? Something else?

The key question is how can an energy utility bring value to the consumer regarding their daily life? You can download our latest release of OmaFortum from Google Play and AppStore. You can browse the app in demo version also without being Fortum customer. Our experts are also happy discuss about your idea!

Who can create a challenge?

  • If you want to publish a challenge on the NokiaPartners - Open communities and get support from the community to solve your problems, you first need to be registered on the platform. Then you need to contact the NokiaPartners - Open communities administrator in the Community section. They will create the challenge for you. Search for “admin” in the Community section, and click on “Nokia Admin” to contact and ask for your challenge to be created.

 

How do I submit an answer/proposal?

  • To contribute to a challenge, first open the challenge page, and then click on the "start proposal" button on the right-hand-side. A new page will appear with different text fields to fill in and attachments to include. You can also link to an existing project you have previously created on the platform. Once you have finished, click on submit.
  • If you save as draft, your submission will not be completed and will not be submitted to the challenge owner.

 

What happens once I submit?

  • Once you have submitted your proposal, your ‘Challenge Submission Form’ becomes accessible by the creator or the challenge, who can see and edit your proposal. Through the challenge page, only the owner of the challenge can see the different proposals submitted against his/her challenge. It is up to the challenge owner to inform participants about decisions and potential next steps.
  • To note, when you save a submission as draft, it is not submitted to the challenge owner.

 

Who can see my proposal?

  • The owner of the challenge, the submission review committee, and the NokiaPartners - Open communities Administrator team are the only ones who can see your proposed ideas and solutions to the challenge.

 

What happens if my proposal is successful?

  • For each challenge, submission review and selection process is different and the responsibility of the challenge owner. If your project is selected, the owner of the challenge will come back to you with further guidance on the next steps.

 

What happens if it is unsuccessful?

  • For each challenge, submission review and selection process is different and the responsibility of the challenge owner. If your project is not shortlisted, the owner of the challenge will inform you using the messaging features of NokiaPartners - Open communities. Your proposed ideas will then be removed/deleted from challenge submissions.
