Utility Management Consultant Services
BIU are specialist Utility Management Consultants in utility procurement and purchasing who provide a
bureau service that bridges the gap between supplier's invoices
and customer's invoice payments. In a one-dimensional world
that gap is filled with an invoice approval service.
In BIU's three-dimensional world that gap is filled with
a structured process that is built upon a foundation of a managed
property portfolio. The managed property portfolio is reinforced
with standing supply data and directly poled meter data. Upon this,
the final layer of invoice validation rests.
It is this final layer of invoice validation that provides the
key benefits of the bureau service:
Utility Management Bureau Savings
Savings from a managed bureau service come, in varying proportions,
from:

- Process Costs - depending on which source you take it from costs
between £5 and £65 to process an individual invoice
- these are ongoing savings.
- Avoided Costs - savings from not paying incorrect invoices.
- Recovered Costs - money back from invoices paid in error.
- Improved Database - poor data equals risk and risk equals cost.
Additional Benefits of a Utility Management Bureau Service
BIU's Utility Management Bureau service offers improved, validated and actively maintained data across complex
estates providing access to the following benefits:
- Utility Management Information

Of the above areas, a coherent link between validated data and
utility procurement provides the most benefits. |
