Budgeting and accruals
 Bill Clarity calculates accruals at portfolio level and account
 level, in real‑time, saving your business money by capturing
 billing errors which increases the reliability of the utility
 spend forecasts and the ability to instantly access accurate
 historical billing data. You will also be able to create and
 modify budgets in minutes.

 The platform calculates and presents the following
 accrual functionality for all active accounts:
 • Aged accruals
 • Current accruals
 • Accruals are presented at the account level and portfolio
     level
 • Calculation of liabilities based on a combination of
     historical bill observed, recent meter data, and known
     commodity and other charges.

 Utility and financial analytics
 Demand reset and tariff reviews mean that members can
 avoid overpaying. As the robots collect more of your usage
 data, they get event smarter and will be able to predict
 trends and present further opportunities for you to improve
 your business.

 Robotic automation will continuously check your portfolio for
 cost saving opportunities, including:

 •   Finding cheaper Network tariffs
 •   Finding cheaper pricing models
 •   Demand/capacity reset opportunities
 •   Power factor correction opportunities
 •   Peak smoothing opportunities
 •   TOU shifting opportunities
 •   Usage reduction – benchmarking and behaviour
