Description

CES BLUE is a cloud-hosted back-office platform designed for retail energy companies that need integrated transaction processing, customer data management, billing, accounts receivable, and analytics. Its EDI management capabilities automate customer enrollment, usage processing, billing transactions, and other electronic exchanges with utilities and market participants.

Reporting, business intelligence dashboards, and advanced data analytics give users visibility into operational and financial performance. CES BLUE uses a web-hosted architecture with APIs and database integrations that allow the platform to connect with existing upstream and downstream applications. An AI chatbot trained on system documentation provides users with on-demand assistance and can support platform self-training.
