Can’t see the wood for the trees - By: Davis Morris

Any business of any size will have its own set of priorities that exist to ensure that it both generates income and minimizes cost. The policies that attempt to deliver these outcomes may be extremely formal and well documented or they may just exist in somebody’s head. In whatever form they do exist, they do at least exist. Whichever model is used, the reality is that the policies or practices in place may or not be sufficient to run a successful business but what is guaranteed is that some aspects of generating income will be better managed than others and likewise some cost controls will be better than others. There will undoubtedly be significant opportunity to improve management of costs in some areas. One such area that may be overlooked is that of sourcing commercial utilities such as business gas and electricity.

It is human nature to be drawn to areas where we are comfortable dealing. A sourcing expert may have spent endless hours securing truly unbeatable pricing on raw materials and shipping contracts that contribute genuine savings for the business however, these may only represent a tiny percentage improvement on already well sourced contracts. Meanwhile, the lack of interest or knowledge in commercial energy markets sees the same procurement expert overlooking a poorly priced and unsuitable contract for commercial gas and electricity supply.

At Online Energy we exist to enable you, our customer, to access the type of expert market knowledge that we possess. With this knowledge, we can identify the pricing models, suppliers and contracts that may enable your business to make the sort of savings on commercial gas and electricity that represent a significant reduction in an area of limited expertise for your business. Your business may lack the capacity to develop expert knowledge of these markets itself which is why our service is so valuable.
