| Given the nature of the modern business environment with it’s focus on core activities it is unsurprising to find that utility costs is not a top priority in many businesses. A recent study has shown that some 70% of organisations operating in the UK are paying too much for their utilities and that in some 20% to 30% of these cases the over charge is related to incorrect billing by the utility provider.
The Alcyum Energy Solutions' core activities are utilities and we are totally focussed on it and in getting the best deal for our customers.
Within most organisations utility invoices are processed by accounts payable departments with little review or verification beyond a quick comparison to the last invoice for the same period. Instead attention is devoted to the cost of labour and materials as these are typically seen as areas that can be more easily controlled and with focus, management time and careful negotiation they can deliver savings.
However, in some organisations utility costs can represent as much as 25 percent of operating budgets. It is possible for cost reductions in utility payments to positively impact upon bottom line performance and significantly improve profitability.
Alcyum Energy Solutions are totally focused on the management of utilities and can undertake to verify, validate and analyse utility expenditures and to identify potential refunds and cost savings – reducing utility costs and improving profits.
We do this through a combination of a review of past and current utility invoices to create a unique comprehensive database of utility data including, consumption, demand, price, etc. This database then provides us with the ability to interrogate utility invoices for administrative, price, rate or other potential errors and overcharges.
The result of this Cost Management is a comprehensive report that promotes our findings and where applicable our recommendations on potential savings, highlighting areas of unnecessary waste and inefficient use of the utility resources.
