Utility Bill Audit

Optimal rates and recovery for overbilling.

Companies receive hundreds, even thousands, of complex utility bills each month. Energy invoices in particular are full of varying rate and tariff structures, due dates, open/close charges, and more. Due to sheer volume and complexity, most AP departments are focused on simply getting payments sent out the door without auditing bills for errors or comparing charges to contracted rates.

 

With an Illumis Utility Bill Audit, you get the best of both worlds — optimized utility pricing and error-free payments, with no extra time and effort from your AP department.

Utility bills are one of the top operating expenses for businesses. Between inflation and the pandemic, everyone is watching every dollar going out the door, and finding ways to reduce utility costs is a priority. Companies in all types of industries have turned to utility bill auditing to help build their bottom line.
