Our Story

25+ Years of Utility
Billing Innovation

From the first cloud-based billing platform to AI-powered customer service — we've been leading the utility industry forward since day one.

On a Mission to Make Utility
Operations Effortless

We believe running a utility shouldn't require outdated software, expensive hardware, or long hold times for customers. That's why we built Starnik.

Built by Utility Experts

25+ years in the industry. Our team knows rate structures, regulatory requirements, and field operations inside out. That domain expertise is baked into every module.

Enterprise-Grade Security

PCI DSS Level 1 certified. 99.99% uptime SLA. Bank-grade encryption with SSO, MFA, and role-based access for every user.

Configurable, Not Custom

Flexible rate schedules, workflows, and reports you can tailor without expensive custom development or consultants. Your utility. Your way.

True Cloud-Native

Built for the cloud from day one — not a hosted legacy app. Automatic updates, zero hardware, login from anywhere. The real-time architecture modern utilities demand.
