You manage your business.
We manage your utility costs.

Let's be honest: no business has time to verify every line of every utility bill.
Tariffs change. Meters get misread or are not correctly calibrated. Municipalities or metering companies make errors. And month after month, the invoices just keep coming.

1 in 5 accounts will have at least one billing error this year. 1 in 4 are on the wrong tariff entirely.

Most businesses don't check. Those who do spend hours on spreadsheets — and still miss things.

That's why we built OptiRate.

OptiRate is our take on how utility costs should be managed.

It takes more than a decade of utlity cost management expertise and compbines it with the latest in AI to provide a service that is fast, thorough, and transparent.

Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
