€12.4m · Other round · Software · Paris, France
triPica, a cloud-native customer-management and billing platform for energy suppliers and telecom operators, has secured €12.4m from TiLT Capital Partners. The company said the investment will expand its energy business in Germany and Italy, support its telecom product and apply AI to time-consuming billing and customer-service tasks.
Billing infrastructure becomes part of the energy transition
Dynamic tariffs, solar self-consumption, electric-vehicle charging and demand-flexibility products all create new account and billing rules. In its funding announcement, triPica argues that many suppliers still run systems designed for simpler regulated tariffs, making each new offer a lengthy IT project.
triPica puts product catalogues, subscriptions, billing, payments and customer service on one cloud platform. The commercial proposition is therefore tied to launch speed: if an operator can configure and bill a new offer without a bespoke systems project, it can test more pricing models while keeping customer data and revenue collection in the same operating layer. The challenge is repeatability, because each market brings different tariffs, integrations and regulatory requirements.
A decade of operator migrations
Founded in Paris in 2016 by Mathieu Horn, Walid Bounar and Christophe Ruzé, triPica says it employs 80 people. Its named customers include Primeo Energie and Gaz Européen in energy, and Bouygues Telecom, Digicel and CelcomDigi in telecoms. The company says its migration work covers customer bases, contracts and billing histories while operations remain live.
That experience matters as triPica expands in Germany and Italy. New-country growth will depend on whether it can reuse its migration and product configuration methods without turning each deployment into a custom implementation. The AI programme faces a similar test: progress should show up in faster, more reliable billing and service workflows rather than in an additional interface layer.
