About Lone Star BillPro
The founders at Lone Star BillPro have been in your shoes. We’ve worked as employees, operators, marketers and executives in the competitive retail energy arena for more than 50 years combined. We’ve seen the good and the bad, and been a part of all of it. We know the challenges that legacy technology systems create for retailers. We know how the relationships with retailers are handled by their technology partners. We know these things because we’ve experienced this as leaders within retailers. Lone Star knows fully well how unsatisfying and frustrating these experiences can be, and what damage that can do for a retailer trying to adjust and grow as a dynamic company within the competitive energy landscape.
Lone Star’s tech platform has been built specifically for the purpose of defeating the frustration that the current tech solutions provide for competitive retailers. We’ve deployed our technology to solve for competitive retailers and REP needs without having to consider legacy code or fit for other industries. Our platform has scaled, reduced manual needs, reduced FTE load, and given flexibility to our partners in the market. Our clients are happy and more profitable by choosing our solutions and letting us get to work.
Our Co-Founders are also operators within the business. They’ll work directly with teams to provide their knowledge and experience in conjunction with our platform to ensure that your team gets exactly what it needs to move forward and put old and clunky solutions behind them and focus on the growth and retention of your customer base that is the lifeblood of your business.
