Voltares tracks grid, generator and solar power across your business sites, reads fuel receipts with AI, flags diesel that goes missing, and forecasts next month’s energy bill.
A Lagos bakery buys prepaid tokens for the grid, diesel for a 60 kVA generator, and may have paid for a solar system upfront. Each comes with its own receipts, its own people, and its own blind spots. By month-end, nobody can say what the bakery spent per kWh, how much diesel was lost, or whether solar is paying back.
Spreadsheets break as soon as there’s a second site. Diesel is bought in cash by different people at different prices. And because generator fuel use is never compared with actual runtime, losses stay invisible.
Token SMS scattered across staff phones. Band A vs Band B tariff changes go unnoticed.
Diesel bought in cash from multiple vendors. No link between litres bought and hours run.
Installed on a vendor’s estimate. No one measures how much generator time it really saves.
All three sources are logged in one place per site. Voltares calculates the blended cost per kWh, checks every litre of diesel against generator runtime, and tells you what next month will cost — so leaks get caught in days and energy decisions are made on evidence.
Meter readings, prepaid token purchases, diesel deliveries, generator runtime and solar output sit in one timeline for each location instead of across WhatsApp, notebooks and SMS.
→ Ops and finance finally look at the same numbers.
Snap a photo of a fuel receipt or paste a token SMS. Voltares extracts vendor, litres, unit price, total and date, and asks for confirmation only when something is unclear.
→ No manual typing for site managers.
Each generator gets a consumption baseline for its rating and load. Purchases that don’t match runtime, or tank levels that don’t match delivered litres, are flagged for review.
→ Catch siphoning and short deliveries the week they happen.
Blends tariff band, token spend, diesel price and solar output into a cost per kWh for each source and each site, updated with every entry.
→ See exactly how much each generator hour costs you.
Projects next month’s energy bill from recent grid availability, generator hours and current diesel prices, with a range rather than a single guess.
→ Budget for power the way you budget for payroll.
Purchases above a threshold wait for a manager’s approval. Every decision is logged with who approved it and when.
→ Clear accountability for cash spent on diesel.
Uses your real daytime load to estimate how much generator time a solar array of a given size would replace, and which heavy loads could move into grid supply windows.
→ Make the solar decision on your data, not a vendor’s quote.
Site staff add meter readings, token purchases, fuel receipts and runtime from a phone browser.
AI reads receipts and SMS, pulls out litres, amounts and dates, and checks for duplicates.
Consumption is compared with each generator’s baseline; cost per kWh and forecasts are recalculated.
Managers review flagged entries, approve purchases and track spend across every site.
Switch sites, toggle energy sources, search the fuel log, and open a flagged entry to review it. Everything here runs in your browser on fictional sample data.
| Entry | Date | Litres | Amount | L/hr | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FL-2291 | Oct 31 | 400 | ₦452,000 | 12.9 | Flagged |
| FL-2288 | Oct 28 | 300 | ₦336,000 | 10 | Normal |
| FL-2281 | Oct 24 | 300 | ₦333,000 | 9.7 | Normal |
| FL-2276 | Oct 20 | 265 | ₦296,800 | 9.8 | Normal |
Ovens and cold rooms run whether NEPA supply is on or not, so diesel can be half of the energy bill.
Log every delivery and runtime per generator, and move early-morning baking into grid supply windows.
Lower diesel spend per batch and proof of where the fuel went.
Voltares’ proposed architecture runs on serverless AWS services so that a receipt photographed at a generator house in Ikeja becomes a verified, analysed energy record within seconds — and so costs scale with the number of sites we serve rather than with idle servers.
Receives meter readings, runtime logs and receipt uploads from the web app.
Stores receipt images and token SMS screenshots, encrypted at rest.
Extracts receipt fields and normalises entries into site records.
Explains anomalies in plain language and forecasts energy spend.
Serves site records to signed-in teams with role-based access.

Saad founded Voltares in 2026 to give Nigerian businesses a clear view of what they spend on power across the grid, generators and solar. He leads product, engineering and early-access partnerships.
We’re building the initial product now and working with a small group of Nigerian businesses to shape it. Early-access sites get onboarding help and a direct line to the team.
