Just as a company relies on its accountant for sound tax advice, our clients trust Odot to manage their energy needs effectively. Together with BDO, which has recently acquired a stake in our company, we will soon be launching a brand-new concept: "Energy Accounting." This partnership will enable more companies to access an effective and sustainable solution for managing their energy costs.

Energy Accounting for Businesses

During negotiations between BDO and Odot, it quickly became clear that working together would provide significant added value for both parties. BDO’s expertise in financial audits, accounting, and business consulting naturally positions the firm to help its clients optimize their energy costs in a structured manner. For its part, Odot has a thorough understanding of how energy contracts are drafted, where the margins and hidden risks lie, what administrative fees are charged, how the link to wholesale prices is established, and where opportunities for optimization exist. Both Odot and BDO aim to implement and further develop within their client companies the integration of optimal energy management, detailed analyses, proactive advice, and cutting-edge IT tools.

The benefits of our my.Odot app

Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the energy market, we have developed my.Odot, a user-friendly software application that provides customers with unique insights into their energy flows. It maps the impact of high-consumption devices on energy bills and, in particular, alerts users to power peaks under the capacity tariff. Smart solutions—such as solar panels, charging stations, and batteries—are integrated to achieve the optimal energy mix.

Smart algorithms for tracking energy costs

To enable companies to effectively optimize their energy costs, aiGust—the fintech startup that BDO launched in collaboration with several industry partners—will be utilized. aiGust will collect anonymized financial data from companies via various Belgian accounting firms and, using artificial intelligence, will be able to perform analyses and generate forecasts for a wide range of parameters. Combining aiGust’s intelligent algorithms with Odot’s expertise and knowledge will enable analyses and forecasts across numerous parameters. Companies will thus have access to a comprehensive and integrated energy management solution.

A partnership focused on sustainability and efficiency

Now more than ever, companies are seeking to reduce their carbon footprint in a cost-effective manner. Odot helps them achieve their goals and goes even further by anticipating changing market conditions and leveraging new technological tools. Combined with BDO’s expertise, companies can rely on the most accurate information and advice to develop a sustainable and forward-looking energy strategy.
