Once they are up and running, community energy schemes also need to be managed. Bills need to be generated and usage needs to be monitored. Then there are the credit checks, the cash collection and the administration needed to up date consumer details and energy charges.

Sustained support

The ongoing management of these systems may be totally new to developers, facilities management companies and housing associations. At Vital Energi we understand this which is why we’ve developed a range of products and services to help clients with the administration of their system.

In some cases clients ask us to provide them with the tools to manage their system themselves, while others, who don’t have this capacity or infrastructure, ask us to perform the complete range of services on their behalf.

The key to this service is our unique VBill accounting package, which combined with Vital Energi’s metering solutions, can provide a complete energy billing service.

VBill is a professional yet easy to use software programme, designed to run on Windows. Crucially it has the flexibility to cope with a broad range of billing scenarios and can be tailored to meet precise requirements, as well as creating management reports and customised bills.
