Save Money with Ongoing Data Analysis
Our bill management services are coupled with data analysis and review services that ensure rate optimization and error-free billing. We have a unique process that ensures errors are identified and your accounts are on the optimal rates going forward. Our systems contain industry-specific information that can help you act quickly on procurement and other opportunities, too.
Our data management services bring you peace of mind. We are the only firm that takes the extra step to validate usage accuracy. While most firms provide automated system checks, we take a deeper dive. Instead of relying solely on algorithm-based programs, we assign a dedicated analyst who uses his/her eyes, knowledge and experience to review the data. Our multi-staged review validates data accuracy and finds more errors, refunds and cost savings than the more common single stage automated review.
Worry-free Open & Close Account Management
If your organization opens and closes locations frequently, you are familiar with the manhours lost to making calls to utility suppliers and long hold times. When you do reach a live person, you don’t always get accurate information or may be sent on a paper chase for required forms.
Let our experts handle it for you. We will contact your utility companies, juggle details, and negotiate rates and deposits. We know the right questions to ask and recognize when the answers don’t make sense. We understand the ins and outs of utility pricing and are prepared with all the necessary documents and answers before we make the call.
We ensure you get the most beneficial rate schedule, uncover applicable rate and service discounts and verify your first invoice and any credits or refunds due. Our utilities experts find the best rates, negotiate deposits and ensure your services are turned on and off according to your schedule.
