Patented AI Extraction, Not OCR
Optical character recognition reads characters. Our extraction engine, developed since 2008 and patented, reads bills. It identifies accounts, meters, billing periods, charges and consumption on any layout from any utility, and outputs one standardized data model whether the source was a portal download, an EDI file or a scanned invoice.
Your Records, in Your SharePoint
For many organizations the system of record for documents is SharePoint, not an energy platform. UEI works the way you do. Original utility bills, validated data exports and scheduled reports can be delivered directly into the SharePoint sites and libraries your teams already use, so utility records sit alongside your other financial and operational documents, under the same governance.
-
Document Management: every bill and report is filed automatically in the right library, with no manual downloading and uploading.
-
Retention: utility records follow the retention schedules you already apply to financial documents.
-
Compliance and Audit: any figure in a report traces back to the original bill, stored in a repository your auditors already know.
-
Access Control: documents are governed by your existing Microsoft 365 permissions and Microsoft Entra ID.
Expert deployment configured around your portfolio, providers and workflows, with a clear plan from kickoff to go-live.
Our Commitment to You
Role-based training plus a self-serve knowledge base, so your team gets productive quickly and stays that way.
