  2. Can Cedalio handle data from multiple locations and in different languages? Yes! Cedalio is built to handle bills from various locations and in multiple languages. Whether it’s 7 languages or 70, our platform consolidates and standardizes the data so you can easily access and analyze it.
  3. How does Cedalio ensure data accuracy? Our AI-powered platform validates data at multiple stages, cross-checking for errors, inconsistencies, and formatting issues. Each bill is processed with a rigorous quality check to ensure that all extracted data is accurate and reliable. This also allows us to standardize data points such as currencies, countries, provinces, and measurement units, providing a consistent view across all your utility information.
  4. What happens if a bill has missing or incorrect data? Cedalio flags anomalies and missing data points automatically, alerting you if any bill requires further review. This feature minimizes the risk of reporting errors and keeps your data audit-ready.
  5. Can I customize the data fields Cedalio extracts from my bills? Yes! We understand that each company’s requirements are different. You can choose specific data points you need, such as peak/off-peak consumption, emissions factors, or contracted energy, and Cedalio will capture them.
  6. What is a Data Point in Cedalio? A data point in Cedalio represents a structured set of information extracted from a single utility bill or ticket, such as consumption, billing period, amount due, and other key metrics. Each data point maintains a one-to-one relationship with its source document, meaning it’s directly linked to the bill or ticket it was derived from. This ensures full traceability, as every data point is saved with its original source as evidence, making it easy to audit and verify. Additionally, all data points are standardized for currencies, countries, provinces, and units, providing a consistent and reliable view across your entire dataset.
  7. What kind of insights can I get from Cedalio? Cedalio provides insights on energy consumption patterns, costs, emissions, peak/off-peak usage, and anomaly alerts. Our dashboards make it easy to spot trends, identify savings opportunities, and optimize energy strategies across multiple sites.
  8. How does Cedalio compare to using standard OCR or AI tools? Unlike generic OCR or AI tools, Cedalio is purpose-built for utility data extraction, making it faster and more accurate for bill processing. Our platform understands utility-specific terminologies, formats, and compliance needs, delivering precision and functionality that standard tools can’t match.
