How Arcadia / Urjanet workflows are usually organized
Public Arcadia and Urjanet materials describe a model centered on:- Utility account enrollment with credentialed data access
- Normalized utility bill and account records across many providers
- API-driven delivery for downstream reporting and analytics
How your Arcadia / Urjanet data maps to Nectar
| Arcadia / Urjanet-style concept | Nectar destination | Migration notes |
|---|---|---|
| Provider account ID and account metadata | Account | Keep source identifiers for traceability. |
| Service address and utility provider metadata | Site + account attributes | Preserve address normalization and provider names. |
| Meter-level usage payloads | Meter + usage data | Map interval and billing-period values by commodity. |
| Bill headers and bill charges | Bill | Import service period start/end, totals, and charges. |
| Enrollment or account statuses | Connection and QA workflows | Use status-driven dashboards for onboarding and issue triage. |

Export account and bill history
Pull representative account metadata, bill records, and usage payloads. Include status fields used for operational tracking.

Map provider account IDs to Nectar accounts, then align addresses to sites and company ownership.
Load a pilot portfolio
Import a subset of accounts and reconcile bill totals and usage for two to three billing periods.
Set up ongoing intake
Choose your production intake path: direct connections, scheduled uploads, or hybrid workflow.
