What the subscription covers

The usage bill grows with the work you measure

Amberflo says its pricing scales with events processed and the amount invoiced. That is a useful service to compare with the cost of owning the usage and charge review work your team actually needs.

database

The history behind the total

An export gets records out, but someone still has to check their coverage. Keep the original quantities, corrections, rate references and statement approvals together in a database you own.

Your records, your working rules

A charge should be easy to explain

Usage

Know where every unit came from

Bring in measured consumption without losing its source or counting the same reporting window twice.

  • check Match each row to its customer and meter
  • check Keep the start, end and dimensions of the measured window
  • check Reject overlapping windows before they change the total
  • check Keep the source export reference beside the recorded quantity

Agreements

Use the rates you actually agreed

Review usage against the correct monthly rate card instead of leaving unexplained amounts for the billing deadline.

  • check Record an agreement reference for each rate period
  • check Apply included units before graduated charges
  • check Keep each account in its own currency
  • check Bring consumption without an agreed rate into the exception list

Review

Stop a correction changing an approved month

Freeze the statement lines for a person to review, with the underlying records checked again when they approve.

  • check Keep the original usage when a correction excludes it
  • check Reject an approval if the source records changed
  • check Require open reconciliation issues to be resolved
  • check Lock the reviewed month against later usage changes

The week

Combine your agreements with your review work

Ask which unpriced meters belong to accounts whose accuracy review is overdue, then see who owns the follow-up. These questions use your own records and rules.

  • check Find accounts whose usage stopped arriving
  • check Assign unexplained differences to an owner and date
  • check Prepare the weekly review and usage explanation
  • check Change your local review rules as your business changes

Switching

How to switch from Amberflo

The move usually involves exporting usage, mapping it to your accounts and meters, then checking totals and charges alongside Amberflo before you stop using it.

  1. 1

    Export your usage records

    Export Amberflo’s CSV meter usage records for the accounts and reporting periods you want to bring across. Amberflo documents CSV exports, but the headings and date coverage depend on the export you choose. Check what your account allows and ask Amberflo if you need help confirming which export contains the records you need. Keep the original export for comparison.

  2. 2

    Load a reviewed month

    Start with one reviewed month as a test, rather than loading all your history at once. Use the Amberflo import path to bring in additive usage, mapping the export’s actual headings to customers, meters and measured reporting windows. The import retains source rows, mappings and batch details, so keep the original export available while you check the result.

  3. 3

    Check import findings

    Review the import results and compare the imported totals with your source records. The import rejects invalid rows and overlapping usage windows, and an invalid row rolls back the whole import. A repeated file is a no-op. Check the date coverage and make sure each usage record is mapped to the right customer, meter and reporting window before bringing in more history.

  4. 4

    Run both systems side by side

    Keep Amberflo running while you check the same accounts and reporting periods in the new database. Compare account totals, date coverage and charge calculations, using your agreed rates and reporting windows. Assign unexplained differences for review. Keep both systems in use until the totals and calculations match and your operator has completed a full review.

  5. 5

    Switch off Amberflo

    Stop using Amberflo only after your account totals, date coverage and charge calculations match, and your operator has completed a full review. Keep the exported records available as a reference for the history you brought across. If you find a difference before switching, resolve it and repeat the comparison rather than assuming the import is complete.

Where the real effort goes

Most of the work is mapping Amberflo’s actual headings to your accounts and meters, confirming which records are additive usage, setting your agreed rates and reporting windows, and choosing how much history to bring across. Rate agreements, invoice history and payment records need separate mapping. When Enterprise DNA runs the move, they handle this mapping and setup with you.

Questions

Instead of Amberflo, answered

Can we bring our Amberflo usage history with us? expand_more

Yes, for additive usage that can be mapped to customers, meters and measured reporting windows. Amberflo documents CSV exports, but the headings and coverage depend on the export you choose. We check them against your source totals. Rate agreements, invoice history and payment records need separate mapping.

Will this take payments or replace our accounting system? expand_more

The free version prepares usage calculations for review. It does not issue tax invoices or collect payments. Enterprise DNA can connect your reviewed figures to your existing invoicing service as part of your own version, with the scope and responsibilities agreed first.

What happens when an old usage record is wrong? expand_more

Before approval, the operator records why the old quantity is excluded and adds its replacement. The original stays in the history. Once a month is approved, it is locked. A later correction needs a reviewed process with your finance team rather than a silent change to the statement.

Can our customers see their usage and can we connect a live feed? expand_more

We build the customer view and source connections your operation requires. The free base works from recorded usage and exports, with printable internal reports. Capacity, access and the actual source systems form part of the custom build.

What would Enterprise DNA charge, and when should we switch? expand_more

One setup fee, then a retainer, agreed around your records and the work you want us to run. Compare the applicable Amberflo contract with that scope. Keep both systems until account totals, date coverage and charge calculations match and your operator has completed a full review.
