Data management and analysis

We use our advanced analytical tools to collect and analyse various energy consumption data. 

From this data, we can

  • Forecast your future energy demands
  • Identify any inefficiencies
  • Investigate what measures your business may be able to put in place for conservation 

Forecasting and energy budget reporting

Here at Consultiv Utilities, we offer full energy budget management, including:

  • Production
  • Forecasting
  • Analysis
  • Finalisation
  • Tracking

The budgeting process specifically works well for clients with fixed energy contracts featuring variances, usually due to consumption, as these can be easily identified and explained. 

For any flexible energy contracts where prices are hedged in advance, the Consultiv Utilities budgeting tool is also valuable, as this can be useful to identify any anomalies and provide an explanation for them.

 

Capacity Analysis

Here, at Consultiv Utilities, we have experience managing both simple and complex electricity and gas budgeting requirements. 

Our team consider the following variables when managing your budgets:

  • Potential pence per unit increases
  • Weather regression (degree days)
  • Footfall

We can also factor in any upcoming on-site projects that may affect the consumption in the future, which may include:

  • The installation or upgrade of a supply
  • The alternation of plant
  • The optimisation of the Building Management System (BMS)

Post-Payment Invoice Validation

Understanding your business’s real-world variables that impact consumption enables Consultiv Utilities to develop practical forecasts, so that your budget is accurate and reliable. To do this, we use the following processes:

Data management – we set up your data on our platform: sites, meters, trades, tariffs.

Data checking – the data’s reliability is automatically checked.

Bill processing – every element of your fixed or flexible energy invoice is checked for accuracy against the validation parameters, including flex trades.

Query management – bills are cleared for payment, and queries are logged with the supplier and tracked to resolution.

Bill payments – we integrate with your accounting software, so cleared bills are automatically processed for payment.
