Query Management SystemThe Query Management System provides a central store for all information relating to queries arising during manual bill entry or electronic loading of bills via EDI. It automates the process of query management, making it quicker and more efficient. The Query Management System is fully integrated with the TEAM Sigma EA software replacing external systems for logging queries, like Excel spreadsheets or additional databases. To request a detailed information leaflet about the Query Management System please use the "contact us" form. Tenant BillingTEAM's Tenant Billing System provides organisations with the ability to accurately divide utility costs between tenants, cost centres or departments. It is ideal for organisations who own or manage multiple or multi-let properties including residential housing, retail parks, ports, airports, service stations or industrial sites. Even if subletting is not the main focus of your business, the Tenant Billing system is the perfect tool to pass on utility costs to other organisations who occupy a part of your building. The system is extremely flexible and can be adapted to your individual requirements. To request a detailed information leaflet about Tenant Billing please use the "contact us" form. | TEAM Sigma EA is a complete Energy Accounting module that can receive, check and process invoices and export to the accounts payable system. With screens to enter billing and self-read data to enable validation and reporting, the checking of utility bills can result in significant cost savings. Bulk Bill Checker (BBC)
BBC allows easy management of EDI utility invoices. BBC can read EDI messages sent from utility suppliers into the Sigma database, removing the need for manual bill entry. It is an automated system for the detailed checking of bills and not only reduces resources required to process bills, but also ensures that only valid bills are paid. The software can form part of an HM Revenue & Customs approved process for VAT records. Accounts Link
TEAM Accounts Link software allows files to be dispatched electronically for import directly into any accounts payable systems, thus avoiding manual input. | TEAM Sigma HF is a module that utilises ‘high frequency’ data from a variety of sources, such as metering systems, building energy management systems and data loggers, to automatically manage energy use and reduce costs. Cost Reporting and Tenant Billing
Consumption channels can be converted to cost by applying cost rates and tariff structures. This enables cost data to be displayed in graphs to produce either cost allocation or tenant billing reports. Exception Management
‘Management by exception’ is essential and saves time and money when dealing with high frequency data. Sigma enables you to set up performance targets to monitor your utility consumption using various analysis techniques, such as historic targets and base load analysis. If consumption falls outside a given tolerance limit at any time, it is highlighted as an exception and despatched by email if required. |
