Every bill, every site, one clean data set
We receive, check, pay and code every utility bill across your locations, electricity and gas plus water, sewer and any other utility type, and log each line item in TaraBase. Late fees stop, AP gets its time back, and you finally have usable data.
What we take off your team's desk
Receipt
All bills route to Discovery, from every utility, address and account type.
Review before payment
Spikes, wrong rates and duplicate charges are caught this month, not at next year's review.
On-time payment
No late fees, no disconnect notices, no scramble at period end.
GL coding and data
Each bill coded to cost center and GL, and every line logged for reporting and ESG.
Payment controls
| Control | How it works |
|---|---|
| Custody of funds | Payments are made from a funding account you control. Discovery schedules and reconciles; it does not hold your money. |
| Review before payment | Every bill is checked before it is paid. Errors and anomalies are held and disputed rather than paid. |
| Tracking | Each bill is tracked from receipt to payment against its due date. |
| GL coding | Bills are coded to your cost centers and GL accounts before they reach your books. |
| Changes | No payment detail, account or supplier changes without your written approval. |
| Records | Every bill, payment status and line item is visible in TaraBase. |
From 1,000 bills a month to one report
A chemical distributor with more than 200 U.S. and Canadian locations had several vendors, no central process and no corporate view. Each site handled its own accounts. Today more than 1,000 bills a month are logged centrally, savings, usage, cost and ESG metrics go to the C-suite monthly, and each acquisition follows a simple onboarding path.
Questions buyers ask
How do you receive and pay bills for us?
We set up routing with each utility: paper bills sent to Discovery, e-billing, or portal access under a letter of authorization. Payments come from a funding account you control; we schedule and reconcile them.
What happens if a bill is wrong?
Every bill is reviewed before payment, so errors are caught before money leaves. Disputes go straight to the utility, and anything that rises to an audit finding is escalated for full recovery.
Which utility types does bill pay cover?
All of them: electricity, natural gas, water, sewer and any other utility bill your sites receive. Audits focus on electricity and natural gas.
Can we start mid-year?
Yes. Portfolios are onboarded year-round with no payment gap during handoff. Most transition fully in 30 to 45 days.
What data do you capture from each bill?
Service address, utility, account number, billing period, usage by rate component, every charge by line item, payment date and contract reference. That detail feeds savings, benchmarking and Scope 2 reporting.
Do you code bills to our GL?
Yes. Each bill is coded to your cost centers and GL accounts before it reaches your books.
