Automated utility accounts payable
With Zego Utility Expense Management we automatically receive, carefully audit, resolve, and pay all utility invoices on your company's behalf. By tying together your occupancy information and utility bills, we also identify residents or students who have neglected to put utilities in their name, catching opportunities to recover un-recouped utility expenses. The result? We ensure your bills are paid on time, eliminate unnecessary costs, and save your staff countless hours of time.

Your bills are paid correctly and on time, reducing late fees, and utility spending is visible through your Zego Insights. - Audit & error resolution
Invoices are audited (including proactive missing bill recovery), and exceptions are resolved with vendors directly. - Variety of invoice types
Zego offloads the AP burden for utility invoices such as electric, gas, water, and sewer. - Easy bill retrieval & seamless integration
Invoices are routed to Zego, which saves your staff time, and information is populated directly into your property management software.
