Nectar

Welcome to Nectar — the platform that takes the headache out of utility data. If you’ve ever spent hours logging into utility websites one by one, downloading PDF bills, and manually typing numbers into spreadsheets, you know the pain. Nectar does all of that for you — automatically collecting new bills after you connect. No more copy-pasting, no more forgotten logins, no more “I’ll get to that bill later.” Whether you manage energy data for a handful of buildings or thousands of client sites across the country, Nectar connects to utility portals, downloads the bills, reads them with AI, and delivers clean, structured data — ready for your sustainability reports, your carbon accounting platform, or wherever else it needs to go. This documentation is split into two tracks:

• Knowledge Base for platform users and operators.
• Developer Guide for API integrations, webhooks, and embedded workflows.

What can Nectar do for you?

Here’s a quick summary of the main things people use Nectar for every day:

• Automated bill collection — Connect a utility account once and Nectar collects and reads new bills without ongoing manual effort. No more logging into utility websites.
• Bill uploads — For utilities without online portals, or when you have old paper bills, upload PDF or image files and Nectar’s AI extracts the data automatically.
• Data exports — Pull clean usage and cost data as CSV files, or push directly to platforms like ENERGY STAR, Watershed, Sphera, Metrio, and others.
• Analytics — Visualize consumption trends, compare time periods, and break down costs by building, utility type, or date range. Dedicated Analytics pages cover Electricity, Gas, Water, Waste, and Fuel.
• Data quality monitoring — Use Issues (including anomalies), Completeness, and Savings so nothing slips through the cracks.
• Cost Management — Review portfolio cost, compare accounts, and manage budgets in Cost Management.
• Agent — Ask questions and investigate your data with Agent (when enabled for your company).
• Invitations — Send a secure link so the account holder can connect their own utility accounts (or reconnect an existing one) without needing a Nectar login or sharing credentials with you.
• API integration — Build utility data collection directly into your own platform using Nectar’s REST API. Supports webhooks for real-time notifications.

How teams typically use Nectar

Energy consultants and brokers use Nectar to manage utility data for dozens or hundreds of client accounts. Instead of chasing clients for bills every month, they connect the accounts once and the data flows automatically. Reports that used to take days now take minutes. Sustainability and carbon accounting teams pipe Nectar data into their emissions calculations and ESG reports. Clean, structured consumption data means fewer errors and faster audit turnaround. Facility managers and operations teams track energy usage across building portfolios, spot billing anomalies, and monitor cost trends from the Home Dashboard for the company you have selected — instead of twenty utility websites. No matter how you use Nectar, the goal is the same: spend less time collecting data and more time acting on it.
