Compare

Analyzing and calculating margins between energy purchase and sales invoices
Identifying misalignments between purchased and sold consumption
Margyn identifies deviations in purchased and sold consumption by automatically extrapolating information from billing cycles (sales and purchase). It provides analyses and tools to identify causes and suggests:
  • Monitoring and supervisory actions if deviations are considered physiological and should naturally evolve.
  • Resolutions and actions to eliminate or reduce discrepancies, such as reporting to the distributor/supplier, addressing issues related to misalignments or malfunctions in sales systems and processes.
    • Identifying misalignments between purchased and sales costs
    Margyn can detect and report anomalies in the transfer of 'pass-through' costs between the sales and purchase cycles. It provides detailed reporting of any incorrectly charged and/or credited amounts to facilitate reporting and/or resolution operations related to misalignments or malfunctions in sales systems and processes.
    Profit calculation
    Margyn allows energy and natural gas sales companies to monitor realized margins in a simple and intuitive manner through interactive dashboards. Simultaneously, it provides detailed reporting to reconstruct all scenarios.

    Optimize

    Creating economic opportunities to enhance competitiveness in the market
    Profit optimization on tariffs
    Margyn provides detailed data and in-depth analysis to plan strategies aimed at optimizing margins on energy tariffs. The Simulation platform offers different levels of predictive actions, useful for:
  • Short-term corrective actions by acting on the energy balance, predicting the impact on existing margins following any price adjustments and/or changes in offers/tariffs.
  • Medium-term corrective actions in sites with low or even negative margins to reduce, zero out, and/or increase them.
  • Strategic marketing actions through simulating the future impacts of any commercial campaigns that you might want to adopt.
    • Timely anomaly reporting
    Margyn can detect and immediately report any anomalies. This means you can proactively address any issues, avoiding costly errors. The platform can identify and directly send reports of identified abnormal situations (billing gaps, consumption/costs outside tolerance, penalty billing), allowing prompt problem resolution.
    Optimizing company cash flows
    Margyn allows you to automatically simulate the puchase energy expenditure cycle, helping generate accurate budget forecasts and/or allocations with a high level of precision and detailed analysis of all billing components.
