Contract Analysis Software

Contract Analysis or Tariff Analysis is the process of identifying the most cost effective tariff based on the offers presented by bidding suppliers.

Optima's Tariff Analysis module is probably the most advanced system on the market, which is why it is being used by large PLC's as well as professional Energy Brokers.

It can analyse Half Hourly and non-Half Hourly Electricity and Natural Gas accounts, and regularly handles anything from single acccounts up to several hundred Half Hourly accounts.  Performance when dealing with large volumes of data is vital, and Optima has been refined and tuned for performance.  A typical scenario of anaylsing three hundred half hourly accounts against 6 tariff offers would take approximately 10 minutes.

Using Optima you will be able to:-

  • Export your data to send to suppliers for tendering;
  • Enter any new tariffs based upon the offers received;
  • Analyse Half Hourly and non-Half Hourly Electricity accounts;
  • Analyse 'Fully Inclusive' or 'Pass Through' prices, calculating the DUoS charges and Losses where required;
  • Analyse Individual Accounts or Group Offers;
  • Identify the best supplier per Account or best overall Supplier for all Accounts;
  • Analyse Gas accounts;

The Analysis can identify the best offer on an individual Account basis or a Group basis.  This allows you to select the offers from either a number of different suppliers or the best overall group offer from a single supplier.  Whilst the lowest overall cost might be from selecting the cheapest offer for each Account, the additional administration of dealing with multiple suppliers is a drawback.  Optima will not only identify the best offers on an individual basis but also the total group offer for each supplier. 

A choice of analysis methods allows the calculation priority to be set to use either half hourly data, or a combination of invoices or base data allied to multiple load profiles that are used to apportion units into the time bands of each tariff.

A selection of reports present the results in varying levels of detail ranging from a global total of all Accounts for each tariff, down to a month by month detailed account analysis. Predicted future energy consumption for existing and new accounts can be entered, and graphical load profiles allow new patterns of consumption and "what-if" scenarios to be modelled.
