How Schneider workflows are usually organized
Schneider deployments commonly include:- Utility bill management across large site portfolios
- Meter and account datasets for electricity, gas, water, and related utilities
- Cost allocation, bill verification, and sustainability reporting outputs
How your Schneider data maps to Nectar
| Schneider-style source concept | Nectar destination | Migration notes |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise portfolio hierarchy | Company + site | Preserve business-unit or regional grouping using companies and site tags. |
| Utility account records | Account | Keep source account IDs for reconciliation. |
| Meter channels and meter metadata | Meter | Map meter type and commodity directly to Nectar meter attributes. |
| Utility bills and verification records | Bill | Import original financial fields and service periods for auditability. |
| Consumption and demand metrics | Usage data | Normalize units and intervals before cutover. |
| Allocation and chargeback outputs | Usage + export views | Reproduce downstream allocation outputs from structured exports. |
Recommended onboarding plan
Define migration scope
Choose initial companies, sites, utility types, and historical depth. Most teams start with the highest-volume commodities first.
Extract reference datasets
Export account masters, meter masters, and utility bill history. Nectar validates uniqueness and period continuity before import.
Pilot reconciliation
Reconcile pilot totals by account, site, and billing month between Schneider outputs and Nectar views.
Enable operational intake
Configure ongoing data intake through connections, uploads, or manual entry when needed.
