Helpful tool for tracking bills
Staff was great to work with, and the software is user-friendly once you know what you're doing.
CONSSetup took a while to get running smoothly, and there were occasional issues that needed to be ironed out throughout the use of the software. But any issues were fixed quickly

Review of WatchWire
The best part of working with WatchWire is working with the EnergyWatch team. I championed WatchWire within my company and the EnergyWatch team always provided me with the right data at the right time to help me sell WatchWire internally.
PROSThe comprehensiveness of the software is what impresses me the most. I led the team that helped choose WatchWire and now we are rolling it out to several parts of our organization and even to some of our direct customers and suppliers. Another great part of the platform is the 'tentacle' it has into various sustainability databases, accounting systems, and metering devices.
CONSMy company is in the electrical system manufacturing business, so power quality data is important to us. I'd like to see the WatchWire platform evolve with more power-related data sets, such as current, voltage, etc.
Reason for choosing WatchWire
We chose WatchWire because of: (i) superior industry knowledge and insight, (ii) ease of use, (iii) comprehensiveness and ability to serve many constituents within our organization, (iv) very impressive feature set in a short period of time, (v) high-level of comfort with the engineering team and its ability to add features quickly.
Reasons for switching to WatchWire
The first time I saw the WatchWire solution, I went back to my leadership and said 'we have to have this.' WatchWire is so superior to our internal development efforts that switching was an easy -- and way more affordable -- decision.

Watchwire Rocks
Watchwire rocks!
PROSWatchwire is an outstanding all-around energy management software. The tool is extremely intuitive to use and well organized, but doesn't skimp on advanced functionality in any way including data APIs, efficiency/renewable project M&V, budgeting, and bill simulation.
CONSI don't have any complaints about EnergyWatch!
Reason for choosing WatchWire
In addition to its intuitive nature and advanced feature, we like Watchwire's integration with Urjanet to ease data collection into the platform.

Everything in One Place
We view our company as a big family. WatchWire treats us very similarly. From the first call, through the sales portion, and through implementation and beyond, we have been treated with respect and our opinions and preferences have been valued. We feel included in the process, and WatchWire has always worked with us and where we are as an organization. Their people make the company and their products better.
PROSBecause our data is uploaded and organized so well by WatchWire, we are able to create custom KPIs and utilize integrations to effectively and efficiently monitor, alert, and report on energy consumption.
CONSSome of the provided reports are not as intuitive as preferred.
Reason for choosing WatchWire
WatchWire has all of the capabilities that we require, and the sales team was able to work with our company to provide pricing and a plan that best fit our organization.
Reasons for switching to WatchWire
The previous software was no longer being maintained, and the dashboard was not user-friendly. The manual processes, such as entering or uploading invoice data, have been eliminated with WatchWire.

Great service which added instant transparency and value to our organization.
Fantastic experience. The team not only helps with our needs but offers consulting on areas outside of their scope. Without this service an additional head count would be required to manage the program. And we would have to obtain a separate software.
PROSWatchwire provides invoice collection, invoice management, strategy consulting and analytic provider of utilities data for services throughout the USA and Canada. Implementation was managed by the Energy Watch team. It was turn key and exceptional. Online portal is excellent. It has increased our teams credibility with internal business partners.
CONSThe software has met all of our needs.
Reason for choosing WatchWire
Price and functionality.
Reasons for switching to WatchWire
Previous product did not provide strategic value and was not able to provide payment status reporting on a consistent level.

WatchWire by EnergyWatch
We had a very positive experience working with the Energy Watch team during the implementation phase. The team is still very engaged and available to help us with questions and training.
PROSThe WatchWire platform has reduced our data entry in both our AP system and the spreadsheets we previously used to track energy consumption and rates. A scheduled file transfer to our ERP facilitates our payment processing. The reporting capabilities are robust and give us more timely and useful information.
CONSIntegration was smooth. To date, the product is meeting our expectations.
Reason for choosing WatchWire
We chose WatchWire after meeting the EnergyWatch team. Their presentation convinced us that the product would meet our needs. Pricing was also better.

Very satisfied with WatchWire!
The customer service with WatchWire has been stellar. The team has been very helpful with personalized requests and items specific to our portfolio. The Energy Watch staff has even met with our external data verifiers and helped with additional requests and they’ve gone above and beyond.
PROSThis software is easy to use, the added functionality of the different kinds of on-demand reporting is helpful. The financial data that WatchWire gathers is helpful to understand more about property operations and areas of improvement. The user friendly aspects that I like are being able to make manual changes in the platform and approving any invoices that didn’t pass audits. It’s very helpful to be able to sync to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager on demand.
CONSI wish there were more options for calendarization on the many reports. It would also be helpful to have a normalization option based on the building occupants once they’ve been entered into WatchWire as a KPI.

My experience with the software has been good; it's fairly user friendly.
Offers a variety of ways to sort and review pertinent data and the data base is fairly extensive and goes back several years. Reports are easy to read and the data is accurate.
CONSI sometimes forget where to go or what to do to prepare certain reports. Maybe it's me or maybe there are multiple steps that aren't so obvious.
