One of the variable costs that fluctuates the most, with the increase in tariffs and taxes, is electricity, a fundamental input for all sectors of a company.
In the face of economic volatility, which leaves the country in a constant scenario of uncertainty and companies facing major challenges, more accurate and efficient cost control becomes an urgent and indispensable measure for maintaining corporate financial health.
Reducing environmental impact through the rational use of energy and water, for example, also contributes to business resilience to the market, attracting the eyes of investors willing to contribute only to businesses truly committed to sustainability, and also of consumers, who are increasingly aware of whether companies are conscious of their leading role in sustainable development and in contributing to a better future.
By minimising the negative impact on cash flow and improving sustainability indicators, such as carbon dioxide emissions, 4.0 technology has provided significant results throughout the value chain of companies worldwide, not just large corporations.

Energy Efficiency and Financial Management
Investing in energy efficiency processes and solutions means generating positive financial impact on corporate cash flow.
Energy efficiency, according to ABESCO (Brazilian Association of Energy Conservation Services Companies), can be understood as the rational use of energy, that is, the efficient use of energy to obtain a certain result. This is a way to make significant savings, reduce environmental impact, make your business time resistant, and accelerate the decarbonisation of the economy.
The innovation of digital tools oriented to integrated financial management of utilities bills, such as energy, water and sewage, combined with energy efficiency programmes can transform the culture and reality of a company's financial management.
"With process automation, predictive analysis, data processing and accurate report generation, digital solutions are considered indispensable for top management decision making and fundamental for increasing competitiveness, especially during the economic recovery period", Francisco Anizio, Enel X Brasil Solutions Manager.

Energy Management (EM)
This is a system for monitoring energy consumption in real time, designed to collect, analyse and compare data related to your company’s energy use in terms of consumption, costs and other variables.
The platform offers real-time visibility into the behaviour of energy consumption on all company sites and production processes, precisely detecting points of waste, operational failures, generating quick and powerful insights through predictive analysis and customised reports.
Utility Bill Management (UBM)
The management of utility bills (energy, water, sanitation, etc) is a challenge for companies of the most diverse sizes and segments, especially for those with operations distributed across multiple sites.
This platform generates a very high gain in productivity and efficiency, especially in the Finance and Purchasing departments, by centralising invoice receipt and payment information in a single system, creating a centralised repository of detailed images and processed data from invoices and standardising data analysis reports.
The tool compares spending between sites, detects undue tariff charges and clearly highlights cost reduction opportunities such as electricity, gas, water and sanitation.
With the UBM platform it is also possible to do environmental management, controlling several CO2 emission factors and financial management, working with customised KPIs and cost projections.
EM + UBM: Integrated Digital Ecosystem for Greater Savings and Efficiency
The integration of both Enel X technologies will promote a synergy for decision making between strategic areas in top management, generating results of value for partners, shareholders, clients, employees, partners, communities, investors and other stakeholders.
In other words, the high performance of the 4.0 technology, associated with Enel X's specialised and globally recognised consultancy, supports companies in reorienting their management processes, promoting energy transition, decarbonisation of the economy and, above all, increasing their clients' business competitiveness.
See now, in practice, the main gains and benefits of Enel X's ecosystem of solutions for energy efficiency gains and utilities cost management.
