Areas of Work
Our in-house development team generates comprehensive web screens, using interactive chart technology, for fully performed client dashboards. Our key features are:
Intuitive
User friendly data representation;Interactive
Select charts to query information;Intelligent
From data to meaningful insight;Themes, content and display are regularly updated, maintained and upgraded following user requirements and the latest technologies avaialble.
It can be difficult to separate meaningful information from the hype, and define the right approach to pattern identification, data cleaning and forecasting:
Halt Human Errors
Large datasets are operated in traceable, automated and controlled processes;Scalable Production
By means of stable algorithms, machines enhance quality and performance;Stable Knowledge
Industry information is implemented in the system and applied to any product;Large datasets become the source from where clients extract insightful behaviour, financial related patterns and are assisted with clear decision making.
Automated data capture techniques and normalising scripts, are essential for preserving source data integrity, offering benefits in terms of quality and accuracy of any analysis implemented.
Sources traceability
To capture raw data sources allows traceability and operations control;Data cleaning
Detect, report and correct any corrupt or inaccurate data feed;Automation
Data is streamlined in a frictionless flow for immediate value generation;Our automation works two-ways, both in import and capture, as well as feed generation and export to external platforms.
It may seem to make sense to simply add a percentage to last year's spend, to cover inflation, but you need to carefully consider several elements:
Volumetric Risk
Volumes are subject to seasonal changes & behaviours, equipment updates;Market risks
Unless your price is locked, utilities have a high price volatility;Regulation risks
Third Party charges are on the rise, suppliers reserve right to recharge them;We strive to improve volume forecasting, capture reconciliations, market data, billing practices and generate accurate cashflow predictions.
It is recommended to reguarly monitor potential savings via desktop analysis, as part of accurate energy management practice. Key approach to analyse consumption scenarios and regulated tariffs is:
Identify
Fast and efficient techniques can easily target opportunities;Validate
Before applying any change, it is vital to assess all related risks;Save
Historical findings have shown benefits of up to 13% of Third Party charges;Regulatory and user consumption pattern changes, suggest an annual audit of Client portfolio to identify, or rule out, any potential, immediate saving.
In highly competitive businesses, cost and performance efficiency is a major determinant of success. As a result, top corporates are looking out for opportunities to derive a little more value from their already optimised operations:
Accounting
From payment files to accruals, full cash-flow analysis and control;Budgeting
Complete short term view plus long term projection for cost & consumption;Management
Coordinated end-to-end approach on site opening, closures and updates;We focus to integrate, in a unique framework, all utility related financial activities. By doing so, a client can accurately predict benefits, risks and exposures.
The key element in utilities, for managing risks and opportunities, is procurement: the ability to prepare, process and report tender activities, in an accurate and timely manner, is to successfully secure the correct supply contract:
Prepare
Identify portfolio fundamentals for tenders and set procurement goals;Normalise
Accurate offer ranking via fair comparison across product building blocksReport
Generate simple and immediate views for fully informed decisions;We support tender exercises, including flexible purchase evaluation and load profiling, as back-office support to brokers and consultants.
Smooth and accurate progression in utilities, requires a regular update and coordination with suppliers, for resolving a variety of issues which happen on a regular basis. The most common areas we approach suppliers for, are:
Registration
Pre and Post tender queries for a successful new supply registration;Validation
5% of energy bills are normally queried, for recovery up to 1% of supply costs;Portfolio
From change of tenancy, to meter updates, in cost recovery exercises;We are regularly in touch with suppliers directly, or on behalf or our clients, with automated and comprehensive query management tools.
