Turn Any Utility Bill Into
Structured Energy Data in Seconds
Built on MartinAI, Screaming Power's AI engine
Your meter tells you how much energy you used. Your bill tells you what you paid, when you paid it, and why.
BillScan reads digital and scanned utility bills for electricity, gas, water, and steam, then converts every line item into structured data that can be analyzed, benchmarked, charted, and reported on.
One upload. Every charge, every billing period, every meter, captured.
Why BillScan
The Missing Piece of Energy Data
Organizations have spent years collecting smart meter and Green Button data because it is granular and machine-readable. Yet the information that drives actual cost decisions often remains trapped inside PDF bills, scanned documents, and email attachments.
BillScan closes that gap.
Upload any utility bill, whether it is a digital PDF or a scanned document, and BillScan extracts charges, consumption periods, rate codes, meter readings, demand values, taxes, and adjustments. The data can then be delivered directly to your dashboards, analytics platforms, reporting tools, or spreadsheets.
Bills become data. Data becomes insight.

Why It Matters
Your meter and your bill don't tell the same story
Meter Data
shows usage
Bill Data
shows costs
Most energy management programs rely heavily on meter data but struggle to explain budget variances because meter data does not include:
That information exists only on the bill.
BillScan transforms utility bills into structured, searchable data so teams can analyze:
No manual data entry required.

Powered by MartinAI
BillScan is built on MartinAI, Screaming Power's AI engine for energy data. MartinAI is the document understanding layer that lets BillScan read messy real-world utility bills the way an analyst would. It learns the layouts and quirks of Hydro One, Toronto Hydro, Enbridge, Alectra, and other utilities so each charge, rate code, and meter reading is captured accurately the first time.
Same engine. Same precision. Now applied to every utility bill you upload.
