AI-driven invoice validation and energy intelligence platform enables organisations to simplify compliance, improve reporting accuracy, and uncover significant cost savings.
AnnexusPartners is supporting mid-to-large UK organisations in meeting increasingly complex energy reporting requirements under Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) and the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), through its AI-powered invoice validation platform, BillScanner™.
With regulatory pressure mounting, businesses that fall within the scope of SECR and ESOS, typically those with over 250 employees or significant turnover thresholds, are facing growing challenges around data accuracy, compliance risk, and internal resource demands.
AnnexusPartners’ BillScanner™ platform leverages artificial intelligence to automate the extraction, validation, and analysis of energy invoice data, providing a robust foundation for accurate, audit-ready reporting.
Turning Compliance into Commercial Advantage
While SECR and ESOS are often viewed as regulatory burdens, AnnexusPartners is helping organisations reframe compliance as an opportunity to improve operational efficiency and recover hidden costs.
By identifying billing discrepancies, validating supplier charges, and delivering granular energy insights, the BillScanner™ platform enables businesses to go beyond compliance, unlocking tangible financial benefits alongside regulatory assurance.
Case Study: Miele
This approach has already delivered measurable results for Miele.
AnnexusPartners supported Miele with both SECR and ESOS reporting requirements, ensuring accurate and compliant submissions while streamlining the data collection and validation process.
Through its BillScanner™ platform, AnnexusPartners identified opportunities to improve billing accuracy at Miele’s Mayfair Experience Centre, ultimately delivering a £164,000 cost saving.
“AnnexusPartners have supported the ongoing optimisation of our energy reporting and compliance processes. Through their BillScanner™ platform, they identified opportunities to improve billing accuracy at our Mayfair Experience Centre, delivering a significant cost saving of £164,000. Their combination of technical expertise and innovative technology has added real value to our UK operations.”Gregg Dawson, Head of Facilities Management, Miele
AI-Driven Accuracy in a Complex Regulatory Landscape
As SECR and ESOS requirements continue to evolve, the importance of accurate, verifiable data has become critical. Manual processes and fragmented data sources can expose businesses to compliance risks and missed opportunities.
AnnexusPartners combines regulatory expertise with advanced technology to ensure organisations not only meet their obligations, but do so efficiently and with confidence.
“Energy reporting is no longer just a compliance exercise, it’s a real data challenge,” said Jonny Duggan, of AnnexusPartners.
“By using AI to validate energy data at source, we’re enabling our clients to reduce risk, improve reporting accuracy and uncover meaningful cost savings, all whilst saving time.”

Supporting UK Businesses Under SECR & ESOS
SECR applies to quoted companies and large unquoted organisations meeting at least two of the following criteria: 250+ employees, £36m+ turnover, or £18m+ balance sheet total. ESOS applies to UK organisations with 250+ employees or significant financial thresholds.
Together, these frameworks impact thousands of UK businesses, increasing the need for accurate data, efficient processes, and expert support.
