How We've Helped

Predictable Energy Costs led to lower interest and better cashflow

Costs saved during high-demand peak periods

ESG Reporting become effortless

Challenge

VISION Extrusions Group is a major energy consumer. They’ve struggled with cash flow because energy bills came unpredictably, arriving three weeks after each month ended. Energy use changes from operations caused varied forecasts in the Accounts Payable team, making managing cash flow a tough job.

Solution

To tackle these challenges, Edgecom Energy introduced the dataTrack™ IoT Pulse Counter and Hub, offering real-time consumption insights. Our online Energy Management portal provided live load and pricing information, enabling users to forecast energy costs on the first day of the month instead of waiting three weeks.

Results

The implementation of dataTrack™ yielded several advantages for the VISION Extrusions Group. The Accounts Payable team successfully eliminated interest arising from energy-related cash flow variability. Facility managers can easily create reports on electricity use and Scope 2 GHG emissions. This solution supported VISION’s ESG reporting. Using consumption baselines, VISION improved production planning for peak demand, lowering emissions and costs.
