Bill payment process
The E Group offers bill payment services using a four-step process:
- Integrating accounts payable systems
- Housing your utility data
- Providing Web access to invoices
- Detailed reporting and analysis
Step 1 - Integrating accounts payable systems Working with an experienced service provider, we receive, process, verify, audit and pay your utility bills through automated integration with your company's accounts payable systems.
Step 2 - Housing your data We use an Oracle™ database to house your company's utility data, which can include bill-payment services for electric, natural gas, propane, water and sewer. This ensures proper and accurate billing, and resolution of bill disputes in order to avoid costly late payments.
Step 3 - Providing Web access to invoices We offer a secure Web site where you can view all invoices within 24 hours of receipt. You also have access to other useful information, including billing date period, billed amount, prior balance, total paid and due date.
Step 4 - Detailed reporting and analysis We provide detailed reporting and analysis that can be used to assist in forecasting your expenses, analyzing trends and monitoring billing data. The E Group normalizes your data, using weather and pertinent production information, and monitors pricing changes in deregulated energy markets. We can then advise you when to take advantage of triggers in your commodity contracts.
