90% of your Scope 1 & Scope 2 data in minutes

Electricity and natural gas usage across your entire portfolio—extracted, normalized, and audit-ready without manual data entry.

Data Quality That Passes Scrutiny

What “Good” Utility Data Looks Like

Audit requirements, GHG compliance pressure, and investor scrutiny demand utility data that meets a higher standard.

AttributeWhy It Matters
Complete
No missing facilities or months
Accurate
Eliminates manual errors and extraction mistakes
Structured
Ready for reporting tools and emissions calculations
Traceable
Linked to source documents for verification
Timely
Updated continuously, not just at year-end
Auditable
Supports third-party verification and assurance

Reduce manual data work by 80-90%

Stop spending 80% of your time on data collection. Let your sustainability team focus on analysis and strategy.

Identify cost anomalies & savings

Spot utility spikes, billing errors, and optimization opportunities that reduce costs and emissions.

Eliminate audit scramble

Every data point links back to source documents. Third-party verification becomes straightforward.

Accelerate reporting by weeks

Move from months of data collection to structured datasets ready for ESG reporting in days.

Audit-grade extraction

AI extraction you can audit and trust

A controls-focused template for workflows where every field needs explainability before downstream posting or compliance reporting.

  • Field confidence and exception flagging
  • Source-document traceability context
  • Review-first operational controls

Operational fit

Built for utility data extraction workflows

Create a reliable emissions data foundation from utility documents and meter-level records.

Parsepoint adapts extraction, validation, and handoff steps to your document mix so teams can scale this workflow with less manual effort.

Common Workflow Challenges

Sustainability reporting is delayed by manual collection from fragmented utility formats.

GHG inputs are difficult to trace when source utility documents are inconsistent.

Audit readiness suffers when emissions data lineage is incomplete.

How Parsepoint addresses this workflow

Utility data extraction for GHG reporting converts bills and meter data into emissions-ready records. Parsepoint helps sustainability teams produce source-linked datasets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 workflows with less manual cleanup.

The workflow preserves utility-to-metric lineage so reported emissions can be traced to source documents.

Intelligent OCR

Smart field extraction & anomaly detection

The Veridian OCR engine identifies and extracts meter numbers, usage values, currencies, and units of measure with field-level confidence indicators. Modified fields are flagged for review, enabling quick anomaly detection.

Field Mapping

Visual field identification & drilldowns

Side-by-side document viewing with highlighted extraction zones. Click any parsed field to see exactly where it was captured from the source document. Edit, verify, and save changes with full version control.

Unit Conversion

Automatic unit of measure conversion

Configure standard units for each utility type and let Parsepoint handle the conversions automatically. Supported energy and volume units include kWh, mmBtu, therms, ccf, scf, MCF, joules, megajoules, and gallons—plus multi-currency normalization for global operating centers.

Reporting Modules

Interactive dashboards & automated alerts

Visualize consumption and cost trends with filterable dashboards. Segment by utility type, facility, or time period. Export reports, track energy intensity metrics, and configure automated alerts for budget thresholds or usage anomalies.

Frequently asked questions

Does Parsepoint calculate emissions factors directly?

Parsepoint focuses on extracting and structuring high-quality utility inputs, then passes that data to your emissions calculation or reporting stack.

Can we keep source-level traceability?

Yes. Parsed fields stay linked to original files and line references to support internal controls and external audits.

Is this useful for multi-site portfolios?

Yes. The model is built for distributed portfolios where utility formats and provider conventions vary widely.

Can it handle multiple meters and utility types on the same bill?

Yes. Parsepoint parses bills with multiple meters and mixed utility types (gas, water, electricity) on a single invoice and returns all results in a line-itemized view so you can see every meter and charge separately.

What are the two types of data extraction?

The two broad categories are structured data extraction and unstructured data extraction. Parsepoint turns messy utility documents into validated, structured records your team can actually use for reporting.

What is an example of data extraction?

A common example is pulling usage, meter reads, service dates, and charges from a utility bill into a standardized dataset for reporting and analysis.
