Gone are the days of manually gathering invoice history directly from each of your utility service providers and then arduously, manually reviewing each invoice for errors. Energy Expense Management (EEM) is the methodology by which organizations can best manage one of their most critical assets and costly expenses.

EEM encompasses the technology, processes, policies, and people needed to ensure correct and timely payment of invoices through an automated system. This highly developed relational database application surrounded by a Managed Services Portfolio, provides optimum expense management and support.

AMI Strategies' eAMI™ solution provides the importation of all your energy contracts, invoices, inventory, employees, and locations into a full-featured enterprise database application.

Each month AMI Strategies enters your invoices into the application. Invoices are validated against the contracts and customized audit rules based on your specific business needs. Should the invoice properly validate, it is moved through to the payment process. If an error exists, then notification through our invoice module is invoked. AMI Strategies will manage the error through our Dispute Manager until corrected.

An extensive review will be conducted on each account to search for billing errors and analyzed for any possible cost savings opportunities. eAMI™ will verify the accuracy of your bills and check for proper application of rates. Further validation will be completed to see if any riders, alternative rate schedules or other service options can be applied to reduce ongoing costs. Negotiations with the utility for reduced cost contracts are also pursued where possible.
With eAMI™ we can determine:

Regrading to lower rate schedules or classifications
Invoking special riders
Arranging new demand, energy, fuel adjustment charges and meter multipliers
Equipment changes
Recommending new suppliers
Purchase of rental or distribution equipment
Review of surcharges
Power-factor correction
Negotiated rates/contracts
Seasonality changes
