The problem

Utility spend is high-volume, fragmented and error-prone

Bills arrive from dozens of suppliers across portals, email and post. Missing invoices, late fees and manual approvals drain finance teams and hide data you need for payments, budgets and sustainability reporting.

Missing invoices

Bills slip through the cracks and surface later as back-bills and accruals.

Late fees

High volume plus manual tracking means missed due dates and penalties.

Manual approvals

Approvals, ACH files and reconciliations consume finance teams.

Data silos

AP, procurement and sustainability re-key the same data, again and again.

The platform

One workspace for the entire utility lifecycle

From acquisition to payment to reporting — a single, auditable source of truth for every bill and every dollar.

01

Acquire

Collect every bill, from every source

Collection Agents log into supplier portals across most U.S. utilities on a schedule, while inboxes, manual uploads, SFTP feeds and scanned postal mail all land in one secure, centralised repository.

02

Parse

Accurate data capture across every commodity

AI Agents read every bill with high accuracy and capture all the data that matters — across electricity, water, waste, gas, heating oil, telco and fuels — including charges, usage and meter reads, validated against the figures on the page.

03

Validate

Catch issues before they cost you

Integrity, tolerance and comparison checks flag anomalies, while tracking of missing, late-arriving and overdue bills keeps your data complete and your payments on time.

04

Pay

Pay vendors in bulk, on time

Consolidate approved bills into payment files with GL and cost-code allocation, then pay your vendors in bulk by ACH — with credit card and cheque available through our managed service and banking partner.

05

Report

One dataset, many outcomes

The same validated data powers financial control, environmental reporting and ENERGY STAR® compliance, and feeds budgeting when you plan to procure or go to market.

Bill acquisition

Collect bills from every source — automatically

Acquisition bots, inboxes, uploads, SFTP and scanned mail flow into one secure, centralised repository.

Collection Agents (portals)

Automated agents acquire bills and interval data from supplier portals across most U.S. utilities.

Email capture

Forward supplier emails or use a dedicated inbox; attachments are ingested automatically.

Manual upload

Drag-and-drop PDFs and documents straight into the workspace when you need to.

SFTP feeds

Bulk supplier and EDI feeds are pulled securely over SFTP and normalised on arrival.

Postal mail

Bills that arrive by post go to a mailing address we set up, are scanned, and routed into the same pipeline.

Interval & meter data

We pull and store interval and meter data to validate every charge against actual usage.
