Features
Digitization of invoices directly from the supplier's PDF
It allows you to automatically retrieve and import energy invoice data directly from the supplier’s PDF (including scanning). Invoices belonging to different energy carriers can be managed (methane gas, electricity, diesel, LPG, district heating and cooling) and is able to collect the following information:
Automatic check of the correctness of invoices
It allows you to automatically check the correctness of an energy bill extracted during the digitization phase. A traffic light will indicate the outcome of the control activities to highlight errors and anomalies relating to different aspects:
Monthly analysis and breakdown of costs and consumption
The data relating to costs and consumption are broken down monthly, for each delivery point and with a simple click you can find out how much has been spent or consumed for each individual property. The information obtained can be compared and analyzed on different levels (delivery point, building, cluster, customer). In particular:
KPI: personalized energy performance indexes
It allows you to define energy performance indices, customized according to the sector to which it belongs, to evaluate the behavior of each property in relation to the others. It helps the user, especially in multi-site situations, to highlight situations of abnormal consumption. In fact, various buildings can be compared on the basis of a single KPI or two KPIs can be compared to each other to perform even more in-depth assessments.
Generation of reports and configuration of specific alerts
It allows you to generate personalized aggregate reports or for a specific delivery point and you can take advantage of an interactive dashboard to analyze all the data of each individual carrier in a visual and intuitive way.
Thanks to configurable alerts it is possible to monitor situations such as:
Precise and automatic energy expenditure forecast
Thanks to the Elyx calculation engine, it is possible to generate energy expenditure simulations to cover various forecast scenarios, even in the long term, and to compare the data actually billed with the simulated ones. In particular:
Rest API to interconnect business applications
Access all the information processed by ELYX from other external applications.
Mobile App to optimize your time
You can say goodbye to the various reports, messages and excel files of maintainers, the Elyx mobile application eliminates all those manual activities and allows you to directly receive the self-reading data within the platform.
Minimize human error due to the manual entry of the self-reading data, the Elyx application performs a pre-check of the data entered, before sending it to the platform, and allows you to digitize the entire data collection process self-reading values of your fleet of meters.
You can use the consumption reconstructed from the self-readings for comparisons with the invoiced one and use the data for precise and punctual monthly allocations.
