Reduce Operational Costs

Difficult economic times, resource cuts and the need to stay competitive are forcing most organisations to review their operational practices with the aim to reduce costs.

Energy Management including processing of energy consumption data can be a resource intensive task.

TEAM solutions help organisations to minimise operational costs associated with utility data processing and energy management. For more information see tab “How TEAM can help”.

Business Benefits

Finding ways to reduce operational costs is vital for most organisations in order to maintain or regain profitability and ensure long term success.

Energy management as well as the processing of consumption data and utility invoice payments can be time consuming tasks and offer a high potential for operational cost savings. The elimination or reduction of administrative and repetitive tasks can free up resources for other projects including energy reduction measures, enabling further cost savings.

Savings on operational costs can typically be made through automation, optimisation of processes, elimination of manual tasks or by outsourcing.

How TEAM can help

TEAM offers a host of different solutions to help organisations reduce their operational costs.

Our Solutions include:

Outsourced solutions

Outsourcing energy bill processing, validation and cost recoveries to TEAM’s bureau service significantly reduces administration costs. The need to recruit and train data entry staff and provide specialist software and hardware is eliminated. As part of the service we can consolidate bills into bulk files, so the amount of BACS payments is reduced considerably, resulting in further reduction of processing costs.

We also offer a “No win – No fee” utility bill checking service which helps organisations claim overcharges from their suppliers for no initial outlay.

Workflow management tools

Our EDI Solutions enable organisations to receive utility billing data in electronic format and directly import the information into their energy management database. This eliminates the need for manual data entry and considerably reduces administration costs. Information can also be transferred directly to the accounts system. Other solutions include the automatic import of metering and carbon source data, and the ability to remotely enter meter reads through mobile devices or via the internet.

TEAM software automates a host of regular tasks saving valuable energy management time, for example by using exception reports, automated data quality checks and report scheduling for automatic distribution of management information.
