Utility Management Consultants

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:

  1. Process Costs - depending on which source you take it from costs between £5 and £65 to process an individual invoice - these are ongoing savings.
  2. Avoided Costs - savings from not paying incorrect invoices.
  3. Recovered Costs - money back from invoices paid in error.
  4. Improved Database - poor data equals risk and risk equals cost.
