A business energy audit that runs every month, not once
A traditional energy audit is a one off review that ages the day it is delivered. OptiFlow Watch turns the audit into something continuous, reading your bills each month, flagging overpaying and errors, and warning you before contracts lapse.
What a business energy audit should cover
A proper audit answers four questions. What are you paying per unit and per day, how does that compare with the market, are the bills themselves accurate, and what happens when your contract ends. Most businesses have never had those questions answered even once.
The catch with a one off audit is that every answer expires. Prices move, usage changes, contracts roll over. That is why OptiFlow built the audit as a monthly habit rather than a report. Otis reads each bill as it arrives and keeps the answers current.
What the audit checks
Rates against the market
Your unit rate and standing charge compared with what the market currently offers.
Billing accuracy
Estimated reads, wrong tariffs and plain errors, caught line by line.
Contract end dates
Every supply’s renewal tracked, so nothing lapses onto a deemed rate.
Usage changes
If consumption shifts, the right tariff shifts too. The audit notices.
Beyond energy
The same checks run across water, broadband, mobile and card fees.
A monthly verdict
A plain answer each month: fine, or here is what to fix.
Why continuous beats one off
Findings never go stale
A report ages. A monthly audit keeps pace with the market.
No consultant day rates
49 pounds a month instead of a four figure engagement.
Act before renewal
The audit warns you while there is still time to do something about it.

Common questions
What is a business energy audit?
A review of what you pay for energy, whether the bills are accurate, how your rates compare with the market, and what happens when your contracts end.
How much does an energy audit cost?
Consultants charge day rates for a one off report. OptiFlow Watch runs the audit continuously for 49 pounds a month.
What does the audit check?
Unit rates and standing charges against the market, billing errors, contract end dates, usage changes, and the same again across water, broadband and mobile.
Do I need an audit every year?
You need it continuously. Prices move and contracts roll over, so a yearly snapshot leaves eleven unwatched months.
What happens after the audit?
Watch keeps monitoring, flags anything that drifts and warns you before renewals, so the findings never go stale.
