Recover significant revenue from “locked” invoice periods

trevi Forecaster enables companies operating in the English water market to forecast and analyse wholesale charges, identify under-charging and over-charging and deliver evidence to support the correction of erroneous charging.​

In the market settlement process the idea behind the final settlement run (RF) is that the charges calculated are now “locked” for the specific invoice period. For a period of 8 months after RF however, where evidence of over/under-charging beyond certain thresholds can be presented, then Post Settlement Runs can be requested for a fee. Thus revenue, in effect bottom-line profit, can be recovered.​

Whilst companies quite rightly focus on correcting issues ahead of RF there are many transactions recorded after RF in CMOS that impact charges significantly. These often remain undetected and revenue is lost. ​

Using the latest available data from CMOS, including data that arrived after RF, the trevi Forecaster: Post-RF solution calculates up-to-date wholesale charges for an invoice period that has been locked. Comparing this to the MOSL issued RF report identifies variances for investigation and provides evidence for re-run requests. ​

Before a company submits corrective transactions and settlement re-run requests to CMOS, the end-user can modify the data within trevi Forecaster and re-calculate charges instantly so that the accurate financial impact is known.

Typically, most companies have a small core team of settlement experts and the solution enables them to easily identify, on-demand, changes to “locked” charges across your whole portfolio and focus their precious time on resolving the biggest variances.​

Existing customers have used trevi Forecaster: Post-RF to identify erroneous charging and successfully recover significant revenue.​

Specialist solution for rapid comparison of large settlement reports

trevi Charge Analyser is a companion solution to trevi Forecaster: Pre-RF or trevi Forecaster: Post-RF that enables settlement analysts to easily compare various versions of settlement reports and be notified of any variance thresholds that are breached. ​

Typical use cases include:​

​

• Compare MOSL R2 report with MOSL R3 report to identify any major charge variance for investigation​
• Compare MOSL R3 report with trevi Forecaster: Pre-RF report to confirm that corrective transactions submitted have had the desired effect ahead of the next RF​
• Compare MOSL RF report with trevi Forecaster: Post-RF report to identify any major charge variance since RF was issued​

Flexible Comparison​

Pre-defined comparison templates are provided as standard and user-defined templates can also be created. Comparisons can be grouped at various levels and can be compared a range of parameters:​

Notifications and Escalations​

When variance thresholds are breached then 2-level alerts are recorded. Notifications are where the variance is within a certain lower and upper tolerance and should be investigated. Breaches beyond the upper level are recorded as Escalations.​

This specialist solution has been designed to compare large volumes of data and executes within minutes.​

The market leading trade effluent billing solution​

Proportionately your trade effluent customers are your highest value customers. Typically this 1% of your customer base will generate 10% of your retail invoices, and often higher. Trade effluent billing is complex and unnoticed data issues can lose you big revenue. Not good when you have tight margins to begin with.​

Bridgeall’s best-in-class billing software protects your retail margin by delivering 100% billing accuracy with minimal headcount.​

It does this by automatically synchronising billing data with CMOS and automatically processing every market transaction, including all corrective transactions (TCORRs). In doing so it detects changes to market data and issues adjusted bills automatically.​

Uniquely it incorporates charging algorithms from CMOS (the Central Market Operating Solution) so that, straight out of the box, the solution calculates retail charges for any SPID in the market regardless of the wholesale tariff being used. This includes all variants of water, sewerage and trade effluent. In addition, group (consolidated) billing capability is embedded natively within the solution.​
