Platform

One platform for the entire utility lifecycle

Acquire, parse, validate, pay and report — a single, auditable source of truth for every bill and every dollar, backed by managed services.

Step 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.

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.

  • All commodities & charge types
  • Usage & meter reads captured
  • Arithmetic & tolerance checks
  • Page-level traceability

Every commodity

Accurate data capture across every commodity

AI Agents capture charges, usage and meter reads across all your utilities — validated against the figures on the page, ready for payments, reporting and budgeting.

Electricity Water & Sewer Gas Waste Heating Oil Telco Fuels

Accurate payments

Every charge, tax and adjustment captured so payments are right the first time.

Environmental reporting

Consumption by commodity feeds emissions and ENERGY STAR® reporting.

Budgeting & procurement

A clean dataset to budget, forecast and plan when you go to market.

Meter reads

Meter reads captured from bills power compliance, rebilling and ratio billing.

Completeness

Never lose track of a bill

Active tracking of missing, late-arriving and overdue bills keeps your data complete and your payments on time — especially during a transition from a previous incumbent.

Missing bills

Know exactly which bills should have arrived but haven’t — by property, account and supplier — so gaps never turn into back-bills.

Late-arriving bills

Flag bills that arrive after their expected window and reconcile them automatically, especially during a transition from a previous provider.

Overdue invoices

Surface invoices approaching or past their due date and trigger action before they become late fees or disconnections.

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.

Payments

Pay on time, every time — through our banking partner

Verify and consolidate bills into payment files with GL and cost-code allocation, then pay by ACH, card or cheque with remittance attached.

Payment files

Run weekly or fortnightly payment files with GL and cost-code allocation, and pay in bulk on your schedule.

Remittance & reports

Remittance attached to every payment, plus full payment reports including bank transactions.

Refunds & exceptions

Track refunds, emergency payments and variances with a complete transaction ledger.

Funding & fund pulls

Generate funding requests, pull funds and reconcile against bank statements automatically.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

BillPortal gives you ownership of the end-to-end utility bill lifecycle — collection, validation, payments and reporting — in one auditable workspace you control. It automates bill acquisition from portals, email, upload, SFTP and post; captures and validates the data with AI Agents; proactively tracks missing, late and overdue bills; and pays your vendors in bulk. The difference: you own the software and your data. Your bills, vendors, GL mappings, payment-file formats and integrations stay with you — so instead of re-migrating to a new incumbent every couple of years, you keep full transparency and control and simply choose who operates it.
