A Powerful and Integrating Platform

Procurian has focused our efforts on technologies to enhance and accelerate energy procurement and management effectiveness and results with a platform that:

• Captures and systematically leverages market intelligence.
•  Provides a mechanism for our highly specialized team members to collaborate globally and communicate constantly with stakeholders.
•  Tightly integrates processes using workflow and automation.
•  Provides clients with energy spend, savings, and compliance visibility.

 Procurian sits at the intersection of energy-market intelligence, line-level spending data, and operational performance data—all from thousands of sources. To optimize and leverage this information while protecting client confidentiality, we apply robust information management solutions that involve extracting data from Procurian, client and supplier systems, and then normalizing, cleansing, and classifying this data.

We then apply proprietary expertise, processes, and algorithms to turn data into actionable insights using a robust set of energy specific tools, including:

Energy Management Dashboard

Our client dashboard provides a customized view that captures the data you need to visualize your energy use real-time. Our energy experts utilize this tool to monitor actual energy usage and follow up on alerts as well as identify trends that may lead to additional cost savings opportunities. It then allows us to allocate costs to facility equipment accurately, develop benchmarks and baseline consumption models, and integrate with production data to provide an accurate picture of energy usage. It provides our clients with a web-based tool to review history and track energy performance real-time.

Utility Tracking System^®

With close to six million invoices processed annually, Procurian Energy maintains a robust database of billing details within our proprietary Utility Tracking System^®.  The system provides an in-depth analysis that identifies savings opportunities and tracks realized savings over time.  Clients can review utility cost comparisons and benchmarks through the web-based reporting interface.

North American Energy Efficiency Incentive Database

Procurian has amassed a comprehensive listing of energy efficiency incentive programs that we tap into to identify incentives for energy efficiency investments and initiatives.  This database allows us to quickly identify the best locations to pursue energy efficiency incentives across multiple facilities throughout North America.

Comprehensive Sub-metering Solutions:

We install individual energy meters on the key pieces of equipment that drive energy use within your facilities.  These meters provide real-time energy consumption and operations data that is utilized by our energy experts to understand energy usage at the component level, develop predictive energy models and identify opportunities for energy reductions.  The data also allows our clients to better allocate energy costs to specific processes or products, providing a more accurate picture of product profitability across their product portfolio.
