An organization in Illinois is seeking a qualified vendor to deliver a secure, web-based utility data management system designed to accommodate complex utility billing requirements. The ideal software will serve the needs of accounting personnel, utility staff, and a diverse user base from the campus community, providing both an intuitive interface and comprehensive functionality.

Key requirements include compatibility with major web browsers such as Firefox, Edge, Chrome, and Safari, and the use of HTTPS protocol for secure access and data transmission. The system should support multiple data entry methods, including manual entry through web forms and importing data from delimited text files or Excel files. Essential features involve calculating and generating monthly bills based on meter readings, applying custom rates by fiscal year, and adding fixed metering fees. The system must also be able to audit bills to identify errors or abnormal usage, support bill review workflows for payments, and allow corrections to be made and exported.

Additional capabilities include producing reports in both PDF and Excel formats, providing user-customizable dashboards with dynamic filtering to display key metrics, and integrating map-based dashboards that showcase building locations with relevant energy and cost KPIs.
