Universities face unique challenges with Utility Operations.

Clean data, simplified payments, and automated reporting for your University's entire utility footprint.

The Pear.ai Platform solves Utility Ops for Universities

When asked a simple utility question, far too often university facilities and finance teams will need to scramble to manually assemble piecemeal data to find an answer.
The sad truth is that not only is precious time lost to the process of manually creating these reports, but they are often inaccurate due to the lack of a reliable utility data platform.

The Pear.ai Platform solves this for Universities.

"Over the years" Reporting.

One thing many companies may overlook is that consumption and charges are not always correlated year over year. Price X Quantity = Cost Most organizations measure consumption or cost and can overlook that unit prices may have changed. Our "over the years" report gives you a complete, holistic view of your Unit Cost, Consumption, and Total Cost.

Utility Operations often goes overlooked in many organizations...

Usually, responsibilities for Utility Operations are spread out between multiple stakeholders.
Typically, members of Accounts Payable, Procurement, Finance, Sustainability, and Facilities departments are all manually piecing together utility data for their own purposes and goals. Imagine a unified utility data platform that could root the entire organization in clean data and automated reporting. That's the Pear.ai Platform.

Utility Operations is especially challenging for University Campuses.

Facilities Managers and Directors who manage university campuses have a broad set of utility-related challenges. University campuses often have multiple buildings, with numerous utility accounts per building. Often, each building will have countless electric bills plus invoices for water, sewer, gas, and so on. This makes it incredibly challenging to wrangle together good data from all the accounts and meters that matter, especially when it's time to make tough decisions about where to invest. The Pear.ai Platform helps your team reclaim countless cross-team hours currently spent on antiquated utility practices.

Weather Sensitivity.

Sometimes the usage of certain facilities may be correlated with weather. Poorly insulated buildings may cause your bill to spike in the most intense parts of summer and winter. “Is how I use my energy weather dependent?” Knowing the answer may cause you to plan differently.

I value the Pear.ai Platform as a solution that alleviated a very time intensive accounts payable process for us. I also went from literally mountains of paper and a grueling 20 hours per month of data entry and accounts payable processing to having the university's entire energy footprint essentially at my fingertips."
