Automating Customer Billable Workflows
AI Case Studies Showcase is an interactive event at the annual Realcomm | IBcon conference spotlighting groundbreaking applications of artificial intelligence in the commercial real estate sector. This year's event showcased a curated selection of forward-thinking projects that are actively redefining industry standards. From concept to execution, each case study presentation offered a detailed look at how advanced technologies are streamlining operations, enhancing decision-making, and unlocking new possibilities in commercial real estate. The Weekly News Briefing will feature a unique Showcase project each month.
At this year’s AI Showcase, Carr's Aaron Altscher, VP of IT and Nicole Hayes, Manager of Operations Technology, presented ChargeRun, an AI-driven lifecycle management solution designed to automate customer billable workflows. The system streamlines the process from utility meter readings to accounts payable by integrating data from EMS, Visitt, and JD Edwards. By centralizing billing and automating data extraction, ChargeRun significantly reduces manual input and processing time while improving accuracy and transparency. The platform consolidates chargeable events, flags discrepancies for review, and ensures compliance through automated batch approvals. Successfully implemented across Carr’s portfolio, the initiative enhances billing efficiency, strengthens data integrity, and supports ongoing collaboration with EMS providers to further automate kWh rate calculations from utility bills to submeters.
