The Status Quo

Customers fly
blind on energy.

Most commercial energy customers have no idea what they're paying, when their contracts expire, or whether their rate is competitive. The information lives in their broker's inbox or finance department's filing cabinet — until it's too late.

Beacon flips the relationship. Your customers see what you see — anchored in their data, branded as your firm.

01
Bills disappear into AP

Energy bills get paid, filed, and forgotten. The CFO has no idea what they're paying per kWh — only the total. The optimization opportunity is invisible.

02
Contracts expire by surprise

The 36-month deal you signed in 2022 ended last Tuesday. Now your accounts are on default-rate utility tariff at 2x what you were paying. Nobody saw it coming.

03
"Is my rate good?" goes unanswered

Without market context, customers can't evaluate the work their broker is doing. Trust erodes through silence, not through bad work.

04
ESG metrics live in spreadsheets

Sustainability reporting demands kWh, carbon, and renewable mix data. Customers chase it down quarterly, manually, from utility statements scattered across portfolios.

What Changes

Three things
your customer gets back.

When your customer logs into Beacon for the first time, three things shift. Not abstract benefits — specific, daily ones.

01

Visibility

One dashboard. Every meter, every contract, every dollar paid this year. They stop guessing what their portfolio looks like — and start asking better questions about it.

02

Context

Their rate, plotted against their state's commercial average, shown as a percentage of savings or premium. The "is this good?" question gets a number, every time.

03

Trust

Customers who can see their broker's work — instead of just receiving it as a quarterly email — develop a different kind of relationship. Transparency is the deepest moat.

Inside Beacon

Six surfaces,
one customer view.

Each surface answers a question your customer asks. Together they replace the quarterly broker-update email with something the customer actually wants to open.

Surface 01

A Day in Beacon

From the customer's
side of the table.

An illustrative day for a customer's facilities director or CFO using Beacon to manage a 14-account portfolio.

Q-end
Quarterly board prep
CFO opens Beacon. Pulls the savings YTD, blended rate vs. market, and ESG metrics in under 90 seconds. The board deck slide that took two days now takes ten minutes.
Monthly
Anomaly check
Beacon flags: Boston facility usage up 22% MoM. CFO drills in — turns out HVAC ran during a heatwave. Nothing wrong, but they would have caught a real problem before the next bill.
Q-2 Mo
Renewal radar
Contract timeline lights up: Plant 4 expires in 90 days. Customer pings broker through Beacon. Broker (already alerted on their Switchboard) replies with their plan. Renewal motion starts on schedule.
ESG ask
Sustainability report
Sustainability Lead: "Need scope-2 emissions for the 10-K." Customer exports from Beacon's Sustainability tab. Zero broker emails, zero utility-bill spreadsheet hunts. 3 minutes.
RFP
Real-time bid
Customer's broker is running an RFP. Beacon shows the bids coming in live. Customer sees four supplier responses, one starred, with a recommendation. They approve in two clicks. Award executes.
Built For

Let's talk

Curious how a transparency portal would change your client relationships?

We're working with energy service providers to design Beacon's customer onboarding flow. If you've got a book of business and you're thinking about giving customers a window into their portfolio — let's compare notes. We learn from these calls as much as you do.

Give your customers
a window in.

Beacon is live and connected to your Switchboard book. Customer onboarding takes minutes. Their first login becomes the difference between an annual broker check-in and a relationship they actually use.
