Intelligence out of raw utility data

We provide a next-generation utility bureau service by redefining the standard approach. Instead of focusing solely on reactive invoice processing, we prioritize proactive tariff and volume modelling. In essence, we fully simulate contract tariffs using core data, customer insights, industry trends, and contractual parameters. This enables us to independently project budgets and accruals while applying a forensic approach to invoice validation. Since servicing our first client, we have specialized in modelling advanced flexible contracts and fully pass-through charges, earning a reputation as a trusted partner for top-tier customers and leading Third-Party Intermediaries (TPIs). Our comprehensive bureau service offering spans the entire supply chain, from meter connections to utility financial services, providing up to 4 years of cost predictions and consumption forecasts. Leveraging our strong relationships with utility suppliers, we also assist with rebate recovery and query management, using advanced technology to track and report every step in the process.

Our Bureau Services are a centre of excellence, consistently demonstrating our ability to simulate, validate and forecast utility contracts across various industries:
- financial and strategic value
- decade-long expertise
- resilience during unpredictable times
