Regularly checking monthly utility billing data is a laborious and mindless, and therefore error-prone, procedure. A not inconsiderable proportion of energy bills contain errors, for whatever reason.
Mistakes add up to costs.
The control of the settlements and the finding of the errors including the related communication also causes costs. The alternative to this is energy controlling, a time-accurate view of the virtual energy accounts of the utilities. Not only can all bills be automatically checked and submitted for correction, but the current energy consumption can also be synchronized with the company’s own data from the control system at the exact time, instead of waiting for the next bill at the beginning of the next month.
This corresponds to a time advantage of up to 30 days. This can represent a significant cost factor in the event of significant deviations.
Energy controlling is usually offered as a rental solution via the Internet.
The totality of these options holds potential savings of up to 15 percent in energy bills and up to 85% in personnel costs.
