Our STC Navigator software is at the heart of STC bureau services. This is a powerful SQL database and application using the latest three tier design approach. This software allows the customer’s estate, utility meters, supply points, supply contracts and tariffs to be fully defined and provides the most advanced M&T, energy, financial and environmental reporting and graphical analysis software available for managing large property portfolios.

Although the system has a pedigree, the latest Navigator version was designed primarily to maximise the benefits that can be gained from electronic billing. The system can collect and validate electronic invoices in a variety of formats including EDI, Internet Billing Messages and CSV.

The design allows us to provide customers with proprietary software to run on their own servers or to operate a hosted service via our servers and provide access to data and reports via our online systems. The online systems can be fully tailored and branded to meet the needs of each client.

For all STC bureau customers we will set up the Navigator database to fully reflect the estate being monitored. To achieve this we require the following information:

• Property Details (including full postal address).

• Utility account details (including MPAN’s, MPR’s, DUOS scale and Line Loss Factor where applicable).

• Gas and electricity supply contract details to allow bill validation to take place.

• Water account details if included within the service.

• STC will input 12 months historical invoice data and 12 months historical half-hourly data for all >100kW electricity supplies where this is available.
