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. Built-in error detection and work queues help operations teams identify transaction problems and manage corrections more efficiently. The billing engine provides menu-driven configuration so retailers can support different energy products, customer arrangements, and complex billing requirements. It also integrates with wholesale market databases and ISO settlement reporting systems to connect billing activity with broader energy market operations. 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. CES BLUE is intended for retail energy providers seeking a scalable SaaS environment for consolidating back-office processes while improving automation, flexibility, and operational efficiency.

Description

Effortlessly and precisely transfer your building, account, vendor, and rate information into Energy Watchdog. This includes the importation of historical utility bills along with ongoing monthly bills. You can map your current files to bill tracking templates and create import profiles for future reference. The intuitive tree navigation within Energy Watchdog facilitates quick and easy access to account, meter, building, and bill information. You have the flexibility to monitor as many details as required for both energy and non-energy utility bills, tracking straightforward usage and costs alongside more complex data. With a diverse template library at your disposal, you can choose the bill entry template that best corresponds to your invoices. Utilize the robust downloadable graphical dashboards to analyze and visualize utility consumption and cost data effectively. Detect and address costly issues related to utility bills and meters, identify energy waste, and uncover potential savings by auditing bills either individually or in groups. You can adjust the sensitivity for each audit check and save audits to be executed as bills are entered or in batch processing, ensuring a thorough oversight of your utility expenses. This comprehensive approach allows for ongoing optimization of utility management.
