The Third-party intermediary (TPI) sector is as competitive as ever. Through utilising partnerships and software integration, consultants of every expertise can generate value and create a plethora of client deliverables.
Regardless of your service offering, you need to be the expert who makes the perplexing easy to understand and turns data into visuals that engage clients on the topics pertinent to them.
Every expert needs good tools, and in your case, your chosen software solution powers your capability. Here are five key aspects of your service offering where your energy software can create value for your clients this year and beyond:
#1 Invoice validation
This service is likely placed high on your clients’ wish list and understandably so – scrutinising invoices for accuracy is crucial but onerous. SystemsLink software dismantles complex invoices by scrutinising fixed charges, checking that published industry charges are correctly levied by suppliers, carrying out consumption checks and ensuring taxes are correctly levied to your clients.
Although the software holds the power to run 120+ checks, the checks can be turned off and on by client and contract type to ensure tailored validation profiles.
#2 Query Management Portal
Do you want to demonstrate the value of this validation work and the money you recover for your clients? Create a three-way communication channel to clarify any tricky queries?
Meet our Query Management Portal – with intuitive dashboards for invoice validation, cost recovery and queries insights with a query log which helps you stay on top of things.
The portal will help you provide valuable MI data for internal operational meetings, while also allowing you to engage with suppliers by giving them meaningful feedback on how they are performing.
#3 White-labelled Customer Portal
Accurate and current data forms the foundation of informed energy decision-making. If your clients want to view their data in one place, you can offer this with our web portal and Unify platforms.
You can customise the portal by customer – branding, dashboards, reports and even the apps that you want them to see!
#4 Energy market insights
As an energy consultant, the expert information you offer allows your clients to traverse a technical and tricky market space. We offer commodity and non-commodity intelligence at a push of a button, along with a market report service to help you deliver the latest market information straight to your clients.
#5 PDF invoice translation
Energy invoices take time to collect and extract data from, especially if you can’t get a hold of electronic billing formats from suppliers. Not to worry! Our parsing solution cuts costs, time and enhances accuracy in the data you import by removing the need for any manual handling.
Should you want to save time on repetitive tasks and get your team working on more impactful solutions, we can also collect these invoices for you directly from supplier portals.
Over 70 energy consultancies managing over 350,000 meter points across the UK and Ireland already power their expertise with SystemsLink – for a reason.
We offer access to a market-leading toolkit for every energy challenge, from procurement to validation and optimisation. With a robust software solution to assist you, you can focus on supporting your clients and showcasing your value as an expert energy partner.
