Ecosave will provide a web hosted service for the Utility Bill Management Service.
Our utility bill management system will automate much of the data collection and reporting related to bill management. The system is also a repository for prior months bills should they need to be referenced or checked at a later time. The Ecosave utility bill management system will, where possible, use electronic billing which will provide bill information directly from the utility supplier. Ecosave will work with your utility suppliers to automate this electronic billing process. In situations where this is not possible Ecosave will set up robust manual data capture processes to capture the necessary utility consumption and billing.
Smart Meter data and manual meter reads from your sites will also be integrated into this platform to allow billing data to be compared to actual consumption. This will provide a higher degree of rigor in bill verification.
The billing and consumption data captured by the Ecosave system will also be useful in completing the monthly sustainability reporting regime.
As part of this service Ecosave will set up all the reports necessary to verify bills, to identify gaps in billing information or data, and provide an “OK to Pay” report that identify bills which have been verified and are OK to pay.
