The Challenge
SFS has been collaborating with World Fuel to help manage electricity and natural gas invoice accuracy. Now, SFS was seeking additional support to help become more water efficient and uncover retroactive water billing discrepancies and potential savings to reduce future bills.
World Fuel Solution
Just as with SFS’ electricity and natural gas supplier invoices, World Fuel conducted an audit of SFS’ water bills and identified savings from retroactive utility refunds and water efficiencies to reduce future bills.
Energy Invoice Auditing
World Fuel’s team aggregated and reviewed SFS Intec’s historical water invoices, pinpointing a number of discrepancies in utility’s charges.
Energy Bill Validation
To recuperate the overcharged amounts, World Fuel carried out negotiations with the water supplier on SFS’s behalf and secured a refund.
Data Reporting and Monitoring
World Fuel also conducted an assessment to identify areas of overconsumption and recommended water efficiency improvements.
Business Impacts
€18K in retroactive refunds
Successfully retrieved a refund of €18K for historical overcharging.
€2,500 in ongoing annual savings
Secured an annual savings of €2,500 in future charges.
30% savings due to lower consumption
Overall, World Fuel helped SFS to become more water efficient, leading to a saving of 30% off its water bills.
We have been using World Fuel for a few years to help us get a good deal on our electricity and gas supply. So when they offered a water audit, I readily agreed. The process was quick and easy, and I would not have known where to start if I had tackled it myself.
