Large Multi-site Operations
Whether you’re running a chain of restaurants, a group of hotels, a network of industrial facilities, or a portfolio of retail parks, managing energy across multiple sites is no small task.
At Businesswise Solutions, we simplify multi-site energy management. From procurement to compliance and monitoring, we deliver smarter strategies that reduce costs, save time, and give you confidence in your energy data across every site.
23% of the UK’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from buildings and they are also responsible for 59% of the UK’s electricity consumption.

Commercial buildings equate to a quarter of UK emissions
The UK’s built environment accounts for 17-25% of total national emissions, much of it from those with multi-site portfolios. Whether it’s hospitality, leisure or or retail, these portfolios play a critical role in decarbonising the UK.
Smart energy procurement and bureau services for complex portfolios
Multi-site organisations face unique challenges: inconsistent tariffs, fragmented contracts, and mountains of invoices. Our procurement specialists consolidate and streamline your portfolio, ensuring you benefit from competitive pricing and centralised control.
Meanwhile, our bureau services handle the day-to-day management – validating bills, resolving errors, and ensuring accuracy across every location. The result? Greater cost visibility, fewer administrative burdens, and energy strategies aligned with your wider business goals.
“As a multi-site energy user, we used to have a huge amount of raw data to sift through, however, the EMaaS solution shows us this information in a tangible, simple way and even ranks our sites on a variety of different criteria.”

Specialised multi-site energy management
With consumption spread across dozens or even hundreds of sites, inefficiencies can easily slip through the cracks. Our Energy Management as a Service (EMaaS) brings clarity by providing real-time data across your portfolio – from site-level trends to machine-level insights.
This visibility helps you identify underperforming sites, compare performance across locations, and prioritise where improvements will deliver the greatest impact. The outcome: lower costs, reduced carbon, and a clear path to sustainability across your entire portfolio.
“Having a tour around the Energy Centre and seeing the different energy-saving technology on show was an eye opener. As property managers of large portfolios it really showed us how much portfolio businesses could profit from making energy efficiency a top priority.”
