Overview

At Ark Energy, innovation in energy data management is core to delivering efficient and accurate reporting solutions. One critical area we’ve enhanced is the automation of data capture and tabulation, especially for utility billing data. As part of our broader digital transformation strategy, we developed an AI-driven solution that eliminates manual handling of large datasets saving time, improving accuracy, and allowing teams to focus on more strategic tasks.
 

Challenge

For many large projects, utility bills must be collected, uploaded to centralized platforms like SharePoint, and tabulated for reporting and analysis. However, when dealing with high volumes of data, especially across multiple sites and billing formats, this becomes time-consuming and prone to human error. Manual sorting, naming, uploading, and entering data not only delays reporting but also increases the risk of inconsistency hindering effective M&V and client communication.
 

Solution

Ark Energy developed an AI Agent that fully automates the process of data capture and tabulation. As soon as utility bills are received by email, the AI Agent:
 

• Saves the bills under the correct project type and folder in SharePoint
• Automatically tabulates the data into structured formats ready for reporting

Conclusion

The deployment of Ark Energy’s AI Agent for automatic data capture and tabulation marks a significant leap forward in operational efficiency. By automating a previously manual, error-prone process, we’ve not only reduced administrative overhead but also improved the integrity and speed of energy reporting workflows. As the volume and complexity of data continue to rise, Ark Energy remains committed to leveraging AI and automation to drive smarter, faster, and more reliable energy management.
