The Challenge
Our client, an established software company in Bulgaria, faced an unfortunately common problem. With a considerable workforce and a large office space, their electricity bills were a source of concern. Monthly fluctuations of up to 20% raised suspicions of overbilling. Additionally they were renting the office space and this meant turning to the landlord. Unfortunately this proved to be difficult as there was no way for the company to confirm their suspicions and present concrete evidence.
The Solution
We took on the challenge by implementing a comprehensive solution. We set up an IoT cloud platform to manage a network of smart metering devices, comprising four energy meters across all office circuits. This ensured full transparency in energy consumption with easy to access real-time and analytical data. Additionally, members of the company’s staff were trained how to use the software and given quick channels of communication in case support is needed.
The Benefit
Our solution provided Dais Software with invaluable insights into their energy usage, confirming their suspicions of irregular billing practices. Consistent energy consumption data allowed them to negotiate more favorable terms with the property manager, ensuring predictability in energy expenses and drive down energy costs in general. Additionally, the CO2 Footprint module of the software provided extra benefits in terms of the company’s ESG policies, aligning with our client’s vision for a modern, efficient office.
