6 savings categories

  • Manual Data Entry & Processing

    Automated bill collection, parsing, extraction, validation, unit conversion, and document organization.

    $9,45016% of total

  • Duplicative Workstreams & Reporting

    Fewer duplicate spreadsheets, repeated internal and investor reports, ENERGY STAR workflows, and manual data requests.

    $5,60010% of total

  • Utility Cost Optimization

    Direct cost reduction

    Act on electricity spikes, gas anomalies, water leaks, unexpected cost increases, and unusual demand charges.

    $36,00061% of total

  • Billing Errors & Financial Leakage

    Catch duplicate invoices, missing bills, incorrect charges, unit-of-measure errors, and inconsistent consumption records.

    $1,5123% of total

  • Audit & Documentation Efficiency

    Source-level traceability to original bills reduces evidence retrieval, sample preparation, and reconciliation time.

    $5,4009% of total

  • Portfolio Scalability & Administrative Efficiency

    Onboard new facilities and utility accounts without proportionally growing administrative workload.

    $7881% of total

How We Calculate Your ROI

Annual ROI

Estimated annual savings minus the annual subscription cost, divided by the annual subscription cost.

Payback period

Annual subscription cost divided by estimated annual savings, multiplied by 12. A simplified estimate that excludes implementation costs unless separately modeled.

Savings categories

  • Manual Data Entry & Processing

    Facilities × 3 bills/month × 12 × 5 min ÷ 60 × $35/hr × 90% of processing time eliminated.

    Covers bill collection, extraction, and initial validation only. No other category counts this work.

  • Duplicative Workstreams & Reporting

    Facilities × 12 months × 10 min ÷ 60 × $35/hr × 80% of duplicative work eliminated.

    Downstream reporting and redundant data transfers only. Excludes initial bill processing.

  • Utility Cost Optimization

    Facilities × $6,000 monthly utility spend × 12 × 0.5% realized savings.

    Realized reductions in electricity, natural gas, and water costs after corrective action. No additional realization discount is applied.

  • Billing Errors & Financial Leakage

    Annual bills × 3% requiring correction × $20/error × 70% avoidable effort.

    Administrative correction effort plus any recovered billing dollars you enter. Recovered dollars are not counted in utility cost optimization.

  • Audit & Documentation Efficiency

    Facilities × 2 hrs/year × $45/hr × 60% of preparation time eliminated.

    Internal audit evidence preparation only. Independent assurance fees are not assumed to be eliminated.

  • Portfolio Scalability & Administrative Efficiency

    Facilities × 10% annual growth × 3 onboarding hrs × $35/hr × 75% avoidable effort.

    Incremental onboarding effort for new facilities only. No speculative avoided headcount is assumed.

  • Automated GHG Accounting, Assurance & Reporting (GHG Manager only)

    Accounting: facilities × 4 hrs × $75/hr × 80%. Factors: 40 hrs × $85/hr × 75%. Consultants: $10,000 × 60%. Minus $0 incremental assurance costs.

    Emissions calculations, factor management, and sustainability reporting. Excludes bill extraction counted in manual data entry. Incremental assurance costs are deducted.

Avoiding double counting

  • Bill extraction is counted only in Manual Data Entry & Processing.
  • Duplicative Workstreams covers downstream reporting only.
  • Recovered billing dollars are not counted again in Utility Cost Optimization.
  • Audit Efficiency covers internal evidence preparation only.
  • GHG Accounting excludes bill extraction and deducts incremental assurance costs.

Benchmarking context

EPA ENERGY STAR DataTrends research found that buildings consistently benchmarked in Portfolio Manager achieved average energy savings of about 2.4% per year. This is context for the value of monitoring and benchmarking, not a guarantee of ParsePoint results. The default 0.5% realized savings is intentionally well below that figure.

Estimated savings are based on illustrative operating assumptions and may vary by portfolio composition, utility spend, existing processes, and operational practices. Actual savings are not guaranteed. Labor savings may represent recovered employee capacity rather than direct payroll reductions. ROI excludes implementation costs and assumes identified savings opportunities are acted upon.
