Solutions for utility expense management
An examination of your contract with a utility provider is necessary to, verify their compliance, and to know if this arrangement is in your best interest. Especially in the case of an unfavorable contract, knowing when it expires is also important. Utility service agreements have an “auto renewal” clause and, inaction at renewal time may mean your company will have to suffer through an additional contract period, which is usually several years.
The first step of our process is to perform a thorough examination of your utility accounts. We begin by analyzing your

arrangements with your utility providers

Why do you need copies of the actual bills?
Your actual invoice can show
Your utility providers require that we have written permission from you before they will discuss any issues about your account, with us. The Letter Of Authorization(LOA) states that you are giving your utility provider permission to do so. Throughout the course of our agreement, we will need to request information for pricing changes, or billing issues which can be often. It also gives us permission to negotiate, on your behalf, for any refunds due because of errors discovered on your billings. Our service does this for you so your valuable time and money doesn't get wasted.
The actual invoice will have a wealth of valuable data and is the document needed to prove past billing errors, compliance or, non-compliance with the service contract.
Why do you want a copy of the service contracts?
With our service you always have control and make the decisions yourself. We do not enter into agreement with your utility company on your behalf. We prepare cost management strategies, present them to you for your consideration, then make sure that your instructions are followed.
